What have been some of the most significant challenges you’ve faced with the Inner Mountain initiative, and what are some key achievements since its inception? Nowadays, people are just too busy. Many women are just multi-battling, juggling a hard-to-find balance between career and family so that they do not have time left for them to care about themselves. The most challenging part is that we’re in an age where we get a lot of information all the time, with endless sharing, courses, and projects. While these can be inspiring, they don’t last long, and we end up wanting something more meaningful. What we truly need is a space where we can integrate our learnings into action, continuously review and assimilate new information, and then generate new possibilities from this knowledge. This is the essence of the community of women helping women, and the Inner Mountain serves as a vital territory for this purpose. In the current stage, we are running both US and China chapters. In China, we have been closely working with U-Field, one of Otto and Theory U’s affiliated partner across different pilot programs. By the end of 2023, the Inner Mountain launched its inaugural project in China, the “Women Go Global Training Camp”. While the Women Go Global Program will eventually conclude, the “Inner Mountain” community is enduring—it’s our foundation, our nurturing ground, our spiritual home. In the States, we just held our launch event, launched our California Chapter in Los Angeles and San Francisco in the first week of June, expanding our reach and impact, connecting with millions of our users and their families on DHGATE and MyyShop platforms. The foundation aims to connect Chinese entrepreneurs with the international women’s community. What strategies are you using to foster these global connections? Internationalization: From its inception, Inner Mountain has been a global initiative. We aim to connect resources extensively, especially through international resource coordination and interaction with overseas women’s communities. We need each other. For example, content creators active on major social media platforms overseas lack a supply chain, while our excellent suppliers in China have quality products but lack overseas exposure and distribution channels. It’s natural for us to bridge all and foster collaborations. This deep and resonating connection, based on shared beliefs, will make our business connections more stable and long-lasting. Considering that the Inner Mountain Foundation is still in its early stages, how do you plan to expand the brand and its profile to help more female business leaders globally? Establish a Co-Creation Mechanism: A volunteer once shared with me that she perceived the “Inner Mountain” as an unprecedented, highly innovative, self-empowering, and self-evolving social enterprise with strong inherent vitality. Partners who join us will not only experience personal growth but also contribute to the society. It’s a collective effort for the benefit of everyone. We have established an open operating system that fosters a co-creation mechanism where the community and partners are empowered and inspired. We are no longer bound by past experiences but are creating for the future through perception. Members identify problems and find solutions based on their own needs and experiences, making everyone a protagonist in their own journey. We’re in an age where we get a lot of information all the time, with endless sharing, courses, and projects. While these can be inspiring, they don’t last long, and we end up wanting something more meaningful. Climb your inner mountain. Unlock your full potential.
