Mind of a Young Undergrad Entrepreneur

Many thanks to my investors!

You’re like Angels sent from above.

You know you are deep into your business when your so-called ‘leisure time’ is completely consumed by work.

Basically, I run two different profiles on my web browser (Firefox). One is for personal usages which contain bookmarks for school, digg.com, some technology-news sites and some fun plugins. The other one is for business usages and contains bookmarks to VC websites, business development websites, industry websites, prospect websites and some business plugins.

More and more have I been using the business profile. Now, as I have just noticed, I never ever login to the other profile anymore…

It’s time to do some deleting…

Holy moly how time flies! Today, I turn 21!

People say you’re at your best around your 20’s and it’s during this time that you have the best time of your life, and I can’t disagree!

Just now, I was waken up by a phone call by CBC for their interest in my advergaming idea! They are asking for an on-site presentation whenever I am ready. This is the first step in generating my first sale EVER, and what a way to start your birthday!

[I just noticed how many exclamation marks I have put down so far…I’ll stop now…]

It’s funny because last year for my 20th birthday, I had seen my first shooting star. My birthdays so far have been really really good! (oops, that’s an exclamation mark again)

And I had a perfect night with my girlfriend yesterday. Great restaurant, great food, great environment. We were even so lucky that we got a special booth in the restaurant! (that’s an upside down ‘i’, and not an exclamation mark)

I wonder what my 22nd birthday will bring

You are probably wondering, “What the hell are “First Page Results”? Simply put, when you search for keywords from Google (or any search engine) the websites that show up on the first page always get high incoming traffic. A lot more people visit the websites listed on the first page compared to sites listed on later pages. So, you always try to have your website in the top 10 ranking for your keywords.

The keywords for my website are my name,“Peter Kao” and “Undergrad Entrepreneur.”

After doing some configurations with Google Webmaster Tools the search rankings for my website immediately shot-up.

I came from being on the second page for the keywords “Peter Kao” to the first page. Now, this may seem silly since this blog is my blog. However, you’d be surprised how many Peter Kao wannabe’s are out there. What a bunch of phonies eh?

Also, now I’m ranked third (not as in third page, but third result!!) for keywords, “Undergrad Entrepreneur.”

But if you do a search with “Undergraduate Entrepreneur” my page is no where to be found…

Anyways, the point is to use Google Webmaster Tools if you want to be ranked up high in Google search results!

As I’m here studying for one of my Engineering courses, this little comic popped into my mind.

Entrepreneurship rules all!
