In this candid monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP, recounts the painful experience of launching nine separate businesses, each ending in failure. He emphasizes the cyclical pattern of optimism—"this one will be different"—followed by disappointment, and highlights the emotional toll of repeated setbacks. The speaker also describes the external pressure of hearing "I told you so" from others, acknowledging that while those critics may be right now, their judgments are not permanent. The excerpt captures raw frustration, self‑reflection, and a hint of defiance against the judgment of others.
