  most uni students in fact if are doing it either on their own or part of their project work either in CCA or School project..

  yeah, but these so-called entreprenuership projects sponsored by the unis or school never see commercial success.
  they always get mentioned in the straits times but several months - 1 year later, no news liao.

  well, that's because they don't know where to get help from to either expand their social network to find sponsors (capital) for their business..
  
  or they lack actual business experience thus lots of them fail shortly after..
  
  so it's not surprising that they MIA after a year..
  
  in fact 3 months in most cases is enough for them to MIA..

  Well in the case of entrepreneurship, i very much delve in the mode of "hit and run" business. Meaning, i pay close attention to the current trends and exploit them to my target customers. Just last month alone, on a capital of $3000, i managed to break even in 20 days and reaped 2x profits after 2 months. I buy niche clothes all over Japan,Taiwan and Hong Kong and sell them back here to my power buyers (rich teens and young working adults)

  Nice, you should raise some capital and invest more!

  unfortunately, in SG, the concept of entrepreneurship is often seen as laughable by almost everyone until the day you get your big break, and then they won't be laughing or jeering at you anymore.
  to them, you'll be classified in the same category as those Singapore Idol and Project Superstar hopefuls, losers and "day-dreamers".
  
  i really salute everyone who dares to strike out, especially in SG.

  Actually, I don't think entrepreneurs are day-dreamers or hopefuls. They are do-ers, people who take action after they've go something in their brains.

  Maybe they are successful, but they are just not reported? Ever thought of that?

  I get the idea that for most entrepreneurs, money is just a by-product of what they do.
  
  But for those entrepreneurs who rose from poverty, I guess that's a different story.
