Given the difficulties associated with starting a new business, Lee said that a few years of professional work experience, at least three years to be exact, was needed. These years of professional work could help young people obtain valuable work skills and accumulate the capital needed (about NT$77,000) for their businesses. On top of professional experience and capital, Lee noted that young business owners needed marketing, business management and finance skills if they wanted to see their businesses do well. These were the cases for 28-year-old Peng Peng (彭彭) and 32-year-old Yung-yao (永耀), whose endeavors classify them as small business entrepreneurs. Peng Peng started her own pizza shop (慢慢來pizza屋) right after college and after five years of operation is preparing to open up a second store.
