Today, I had a special experience in the heart of Jongno, Seoul.
After a long absence, I returned to Seoul Global Center to run a startup mentoring session for aspiring founders from abroad.
Mentoring all day in English was a new challenge for me and for them, but communication went smoothly.
Isn't this the magic that understanding and empathy create between people from different backgrounds?
The startup journey is never easy.
While stressing the importance of planning, I also emphasized that hands-on experience in the field and the lessons learned along the way count above all else
I stressed that this is what matters.
The closing remark, "start from scratch and do the legwork yourself," reportedly resonated strongly with everyone present.
It was a moment that reaffirmed the value of taking action, even amid the uncertainty and difficulty of starting a business.
