The man who pioneered the vision of selling made-to-order personal computers directly to customers knows a thing or two about being an entrepreneur. Michael Dell, who launched the predecessor to Dell Computer Corporation while a college student in 1984, is part of a series of commercials promoting entrepreneurship thanks to Endeavor Brazil.

"At 19 I was frustrated as a customer with the way computers were sold and serviced. So I launched a business that built computers and sold them directly to customers. It worked out pretty well. Success isn’t about just having an idea. It’s about making it happen."

Michael Dell, founder of Dell computers, during an ad for Global Entrepreneurship Week in Brazil
