20,000 Words, 108 Reflections: My Third Year of Entrepreneurship on Marketing, Management, and Life

2021 was my third year of entrepreneurship and the hardest year of my life. I went through the bottleneck period of a founder and transitioned into a new role as a mother. Throughout this process, I constantly explored two things: 1. What is happening in the world, and what can I bring to it; 2. How do I see myself, and what kind of person do I want to become.

In this exploration, many systematic thoughts have been organized into articles, but many fragmented reflections remain, like seeds waiting to sprout.
