"Entrepreneurship is not as easy as many people think. It contains too many uncertainties. To be successful, you must exert your utmost brains and efforts," Yan said.
In his freshman year, Yan planned to start his own business while continuing to study. He has tried a variety of businesses in the past two years, including opening an e-shop, mentoring micro-businesses, being a fitness coach and running a clothing store. Yan said the biggest challenge at the beginning was lack of money and experience. As a busy student, he had very limited spare time as well. He didn't have a laptop, so he had to go to internet cafes after class every day to take care of his e-shop business.
