BusinessWeek Asia is in search of "The Best Young Entrepreneurs",the announcement reads

Less appreciated is the growing and dynamic entrepreneurial class of young managers cropping up in the region, who are starting to make their presence felt.

Wannabe Entrepreneur ?

I think everybody is a wannabe entrepreneur,I've talked to many people and I've found out that almost everybody wants to be an entrepreneur,they wanna have a company of their own and I'm no different,So what actually is the difference between people who are entrepreneur's and people who are wannabe entrepreneur's?

Entrepreneur's:
1. They Do things
2. They always go for "Good Enough"
3. They wanna learn stuff by doing them.

Wannabe Entrepreneur's:
1.They wait for that one great Idea to magically strike
2.They believe that only "Perfect" things get sold
3. Above all they wait for thing's to happen and for most of them things never "happen"

I had to rush back home from office so I took a printout of the article,after my heavy meal I read that article and was like surprised to learn about Ashley,a high school dropout from detroit was running Whateverlife.com all by herself.

Whateverlife is a website which provides MySpace layouts for girls,beyond Myspace and facebook and orkut loads of teenage website come and go,but Whatever life, started in 2004, now attracts 7 million individuals and 60 million page views a month and is ranked 349 ahead of Oprah.com (469) by Quantcast.

Ashley,who started her website with an initial investment of $8 from her mother, has recently been offered $1.5m+ by ValueClickMedia.

Though Ashley found her business whimsically,she actually learned things from doing things and now has built a quite an enviable business.
