These are 3️⃣ comments I made that I really feel like emphasising to encourage anyone with a twinkling of entrepreneurship in their eye:

1️⃣“I might be the first foreign female to set up her own practice in Tokyo, but I don’t want to be the last”

2️⃣“We CAN change what can done in the legal world in Japan. We should not expect change from the outside, but instead make change come from within. Of course, we must keep within regulatory rules, but there is so much you can do within law if you are more entrepreneurial”

3️⃣" A goal [of mine] is to build on the success of [my] BBA win. [I] plan to explore ways to recognise others in the legal profession who are doing innovative work and to support budding entrepreneurs via mentorship. "
