At the Women in Entrepreneurship evening by Entrepreneur UK , Karolina Pelc shares powerful insights on what it truly takes to move from setbacks to lasting success. In this inspiring conversation, she reflects on the reality behind achievement – where failure is part of the process, success is never overnight, and resilience becomes the foundation of every breakthrough. Pelc also explores the mindset shift that changes everything: choosing possibility over fear, taking bold action before feeling ready, and actively creating opportunities instead of waiting for luck. Her message is simple but powerful – success is built through persistence, courage, and the willingness to keep going when things don’t work the first time. Her upcoming book, Her Play: Make Your Own Luck centred on these principles of mindset and resilience, is now available for pre-order ahead of its June 9th launch.
