With the theme “Solopreneurship 101: Turning Your Ideas into Reality,” Adele Doan took the stage at TEDxThuongmai University 2025, sharing a powerful story shaped by her bold and extraordinary entrepreneurial journey.Starting with the daring decision to leave a stable job, she embarked on five very different business ventures: a Japanese pottery store, a career coaching service, an online course platform, a B2B agency, and, finally, the LinkedIn Blue Ocean community.Four failures did not stop her. On the contrary, each setback became a turning point—an opportunity to reflect, recalibrate, and move forward with greater clarity.The lessons she shared were more than just personal experiences—they were real sources of motivation and proof that success comes to those who dare to dream, take risks, and walk their own path with unwavering belief.Watch the full, inspiring talk by speaker Adele Doan at the link below—and who knows, you just might see a part of yourself in her story.
