I'm sponsored to do this review!

I think I can be counted as quarter-a-professional on the topic of entrepreneurship after hearing Randy's group present on entrepreneurship around twice or thrice (that's one half hour in total) and well, the first thing my mind locked on when I think entrepreneurship is a Fishy Business. So yeah, that's how much my mind has been affected by the far reaching influence of PW and my classmates' interest in entrepreneurship.

Anyway, back to the point, there's a Global Entrepreneurhip Week organised by the Action Community for Entrepreneurship (ACE), starting on 17 November and it lasts till 23 Nov, so yup, if you can make it for some of these events which I'm about to recommend, please do go!
