It is now week 7, lots of changes have been going in this entrepreneurship journey. We’ve got quite a few members who have fallen out, which has led to a reshuffling of the team members. It certainly has been a struggle for most of us. However, the rest of the survivors have bonded much closer and continue to press on despite hitting several roadblocks. A strong sense of camaraderie is clearly felt during these tough times as the pressure to succeed continues to climb steadily.
This week we had our one-on-one sessions with Prof. SJ, an entrepreneur consultant, who is evidently very passionate about his job. Prof. SJ has many years of experience under his belt, providing training and mentorship to local universities and budding startups. I felt that he was very down to earth and provided very insightful tips on business development.
Since there was a reshuffling of teams, I have now pivoted on to a different project from AI tech to a beauty/therapeutics startup. While the products of these two startups are world’s apart, the knowledge I have gained so far is definitely transferable to my new project in terms of preliminary research and business planning. I have great confidence that my new teammate/business partner and I can build something great together. Most importantly, I have also acknowledged that our startup comes with its own set of risks. Nevertheless, even if our venture doesn’t make it as far as we expect, I’d know that we gave it our very best efforts in our attempt.
