Nice article, though I disagree with the "while in school" part. Not only is it possible to build a successful business while studying, it's often even an advantage to start in school. The key is to find alignment between your studies and your start-up function. Then focus on those aligned functions and find partners for everything else. This can work very nicely for true technology start-ups but is harder for operational/execution start-ups (e.g. websites, services, etc.). I am not sure if this is allowed on HN (new here), but I wrote a while ago about ways to mesh university with start-up activities: http://bit.ly/hJmCEQ http://bit.ly/hJmCEQ
