    Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Taylah Hasaballah, 20 years old, Computer Software Engineering student at the University of Queensland and entrepreneur with Go-Women in Brisbane, Australia.  Wrap up:Each studentpreneur's story is different and what works for some people doesn't for others, however I'd like to point out of few things in Taylah's journey that are similar to a lot of studentpreneurs I have interviewed for my research: She started a lot of ventures, she wasn't scared to fail: for instance she started something with vintage clothes 4 times but as she said she failed fast and was able to adapt and try again.

Finally she is another example that running entrepreneurial activities while studying can open some big doors, like a job at Google Australia.
