Why can an entrepreneur still make it to Oxford after 13 years? Dr. Han’s experience tells us: entrepreneurship isn’t about luck!

In the first year of a startup, many people rely on passion.
By the third year, many rely on perseverance.
By the tenth year, those who truly remain are often sustained by systems, teams, and the ability to continually evolve.
Dr. Han looked back on Gate’s 13-year entrepreneurial journey and shared insights on entrepreneurial resilience and team building at the Oxford Union. This experience is worth reflecting on for entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurship has never been a 100-meter sprint, but a marathon of constantly adjusting direction.
Markets change, customers change, technology changes; methods that worked yesterday may no longer work today.
True entrepreneurial resilience isn’t stubbornly holding on despite knowing the direction is wrong, but daring to acknowledge problems, reassess, and set off again after setbacks.
This is even more true in the AI era.
Entrepreneurs need to embrace new tools, learn new things, adjust organizational structures, and even redefine their business models.
Don’t mistake perseverance for stubbornness.
Truly great entrepreneurs aren’t those who never change, but those who can get back up no matter how the environment changes.
13 years isn’t the finish line, but the starting point for the next round of competition.$NAS100
