When You Don't Know Where to Start, Start Step by Step
Perhaps in traditional education, we learned more about how to digest textbook knowledge, without realizing the importance of communication. I also didn't think much about engaging with people before.
The Transformation Through Coffee Chats
Recently, I started frequently arranging coffee chats with friends, discussing life's confusions or entrepreneurial challenges. I gradually found myself getting used to this way of communication. I also think about how to express myself more systematically in conversations, so that others don't find my thoughts scattered, making it easier for them to grasp the key points.
Facing Confusion in Marketing and Communication
However, I still have the same confusion when it comes to marketing and communication—I don't know where to start. Later, I thought that maybe "not knowing where to start" itself means we need to try bit by bit, which might actually be the most appropriate approach.
Growing Through Attempts
Moreover, as I meet more and more people, even when facing rejection, I gradually get used to it. It's just that I still lack distribution channels, which makes me more clearly aware that communication and marketing are truly the critical components.

Key Insights
When you don't know where to start, the best approach is to just start. Every attempt and communication is a learning opportunity, and even rejection is part of growth. Marketing and communication may seem complex, but as long as you start doing it bit by bit, you'll always find your own path.
Remember: uncertainty itself is a signal telling us we need to explore and learn through action.
