Theme: Lead with an Entrepreneurial Mindset

Stop waiting for opportunities. Start creating them.

Featuring speakers who pivot or take detours along their life journey:

• Grow a luxury dining restaurant into a group of high-end restaurants and bakeries
• Engineer to startup consultant
• Career in high tech to career coach
• Stay at home mom to indigo dye artist
• Flight attendant to baker to financial consultant

This summit is NOT about starting a business. It’s about:

• Creating opportunities instead of waiting for them
• Taking radical ownership of your decisions
• Leading your life with a founder’s mindset

Most career advice teaches you how to choose the right path.

We’re here to explore how to create your own.

The road ahead isn’t paved for you — you’re the one paving it.

主題｜Lead with an Entrepreneurial Mindset 以創業家心態領航人生

不要只是等待機會，要成為親手創造機會的人。

很多人的人生是一條直線，而有些人則開闢出不同道路

有人在灣區把一間餐廳，變成高端餐飲品牌版圖；
有人從工程師，變成創業顧問；
有人在科技業 13 年，最後成為職涯教練；
有人移民後，一邊帶孩子一邊在市集賣藍染手作；
也有人從空服員 → 蛋糕師 → 財務顧問。

她們沒有等路出現，她們自己開路。

這場活動並非關於創業分享，而是關於一種心態：

✨ 創造而非等待機會 Create opportunities
✨ 為自己的決定負責 Own your decisions
✨ 以創業者的思維主導人生 Lead with a founder’s mindset


多數職涯建議教你如何選擇一條對的路，但這場峰會要談的是：如何開拓屬於你的路。

如果未來沒有鋪好的路可以走，那就自己動手修路。

Snow Ho’s career is a study in "The Architecture of Choice." Her journey spans from the high-pressure cabins of Emirates to a decade-long, award-winning tenure as an artisanal cake entrepreneur.
