Mark Zuckerburg was offered multiple millions for his earlier business than Facebook...which was his third, not first, business. And yes, starting a business is in fact very easy. For a variety of reasons, I'm technically on my eleventh business...so three of them, all bootstrapped. The idea of raising money is appealing, as it would potentially mean not having to balance between client custom consulting revenue and working on product in my, "Free time." However, until you launch, prove the market, see real results, etc, it's all just a very nice sounding hypothesis.

I stand corrected. I didn't know about his other projects before Facebook. Wikipedia doesn't say anything about being offered multiple millions for a product he'd built, though.
