I had to leave early and wished I had a chance to share this: There is a huge difference between KNOWING and DOING. Someone once said, 'To know and not to do, is not yet to know'. Think about this for a moment. How many know how to set up a business or run a business? I thought I knew, until I actually did it. No books or seminars can teach you on how to be an Entrepreneur except from doing it yourself. The growing pains I had to go through starting IconnectE has changed my mindset, and made me more empathetic to startups and small businesses. My passion to realize the vision burns stronger...and I am even more driven to make a real difference in the business community and future entrepreneurs. I would like to be invited to share my success some day...

So did Adam Khoo and Ivan Lee oversell the idea of doing a business? The audience is probably a young and over-eager crowd, the speakers should temper their enthusiasm with the sobering realities of doing business. “They made me want to start a business too, by making it sound so easy.”
