    Interview with featured student entrepreneur Winnie Lai by WomanzWorld

    "I love the energy and enthusiasm of young entrepreneurs. I’ve been privileged to meet several dynamos recently that make me wish I’d delved into the world of entrepreneurship earlier.

    Winnie Lai is one of these people. I met her over coffee last week and figured she was the last person in the world who needed caffeine.

    High on life this energiser bunny was keen to discuss all the reasons why being an entrepreneur is the only way to live your life.

    She made me forget the challenging times when you just wish you could head to a cushy job (let’s face it we’ve all had those moments). Instead I felt like running off to start more businesses.
