Entrepreneurship 101
Now that I am trying to be a super mega entrepreneur purely by gut feel, blind faith and optimism. I will share with you how the journey has been so far.
So far, it has been very hard. My enthusiasm has not waned nor have I given up but the fact is, it takes time, dedication and being 100% shameless. :) It has always been written in books that it's hard to be an entrepreneur but I never expected some of the weird reactions I have gotten. :) Granted that my idea is not that conventional, it is the first time in 5 years where I actually had an idea that I seriously believed in! I decided to have a business 5 years ago and it is only now that I have something concrete!
Anyway, so far I have been still able to move forward with the plan -- often sitting in my own little world and devising ways to make it happen. The main dilemma is sometimes the fear still takes over! Argh! :(
So what to do next? Well, continue learning, pushing and dreaming. Everything is possible.

Dear Erica,
Wishing you the best luck, don't be discouraged, though the road seems to be rocky, especially putting up a company in a foreign country! And remember to put things into perspective, you are working full time in MC and it is triple difficult for you to divide your focus to something else.
I hope that you get the chance to really try it out after this term, as far as I can see, with your determination, spirit and connections, you can make it ^^
Love YC
P.S. Wow, so exciting to write my first post in here!
Hi E,
Remember that always on the rocky roads of the entrepreneurship that you've chosen to walk, are your peers who are making the similar journey their own way. So, get out of your lonely entrepreneurial bubble and post me your business plan: tomi[at]unleashtalent.com

Thanks for the comments YC and Tomi!
I will let you know what it is after a few days. :)
Hugs!
