Entrepreneurs are not created in schools – they’ve always had the entrepreneurial instincts. They just need an idea that will shake things up and a nudge in the right direction.
Q: I’m an 18-year-old Singaporean preparing for A-levels. I want to become an entrepreneur – to improve lives, serve the public and explore new horizons. However, the education system in my country doesn’t really expose students to entrepreneurship. I’ve read a few books, including Like a Virgin, but I’m not quite sure how to kick-start my career. What resources do I need? What steps should I take?My parents named me after you, and I hope that someday I can reach your level of success - or maybe even surpass it!- Branson Lee, Singapore
