The key of successfully change your career. 10 points you need to accomplish

Buddha practiced asceticism for emancipate from the repeating cycle of life and death.



preached people should emancipate oneself from the repeating cycle of birth life and death. 

It is same as your life or business.
During busy day, the thought of competition and control drag you down into rat race. 

If you want to get out of it, you should be creative and not to compare from others or compete.
It is important that you think it by yourself and image what you want to be.
It is only you who can do this.
When you think about yourself seriously, you will go to another world which is totally different from where you are.

The key to successfully change your career

10 programs of make it real your vision

Define your ideal working condition in detail. 

You have to start no.1 at first. If you skip the process or deny these programs, you don’t have to do this. 

It is wasting of your time. If you want to challenge, please do them completely.

Preparation 1 Go to silent place, and turned off your PC and mobile phone.

Preparation 2 B２ a pen and paper.

I recommend you to use broad-tipped pen.

No1 Salary you want (Amount of money, monthly salary plan or annual salary system, bonus, allowance and etc…)

No2 The thing you want and you don’t want (Like or dislike, strong and weak points)

No3 Way of working (Working hours, number of holidays, existence or non-existence of transferred and etc…)

No4 Valuation basis (Results-oriented approach, seniority by length of service, existence or non-existence of promotion exam and etc…)

No5 Company size (less than 100, less than 1,000, less than 10,000 or more than 10,000)

No6 Company form (The head office, affiliated company, manufacture, sales company, B2B, B2C, existence or no existence of factory and etc…)

No7 one’s post (Account department, general affairs, planning section, development department, planning section, public relations department)

No8 Corporate culture (Active, urban, showy, plain, assertive and etc…)

No9 History of foundation (Government, private firm, start-up company, foreign enterprise or etc…)

No 10 Employment structure (permanent employment, career enhancement and etc…)

Extra Image of the job (Clothes, flooring, a seat, meeting room or etc…)

Matters to be attended

Please follow the process. The name of company, the sort of occupation, worthwhile job or not is not your first priority. 

Just follow you really want. 

Get rid of your subjective impression or abstract thinking. 

You should never hesitate to follow your real mind. 

It is “worth thousands of deaths” if you esteem lightly yourself before you start to challenge. 

There are 2 reasons for this. 

The first one is if you follow this, your image of yourself becomes clear and your conviction is the key to accomplish your vision. 

The second one is if your goal is clear, your agent, friends and your relations can help to achieve your order more easily. 

Great agents know if their clients bring them an ambiguous order, it is hard to accomplish. 

Best wishes to you! by isso

5 facts you should know to break down stereotype

"In Tokyo, money had fallen on the ground" 
I have experience of reading news article about a Chinese tourist's impressions of Japan.
What I want to tell you is  "Recession is just a word and specifically, you become richer."
If you live in Japan, it is obvious that you are richer than you expected. 
When you look for some information magazines about career or part-time job, you will find a lot of job offer.
If you go to public employment security office, public servant help you to find employment. 

I believe it is not only me who think we have a chance to earn wealth. The truth is different from what newspaper and TV program tells us. 
You should enjoy and do not be hasty. Just keep going slowly.


5 points you should know for not to be hasted

1 What you need is money and not a company.
2 Evaluation from others does nothing to do with your ideal
3 Just focus on now. The prediction from others about your future never comes.
4 Past success and failure does nothing to do for your present.
5 If you have chance with particular company you will be hired. You shouldn't take it too seriously about the results.

Job hunting or change career is one of biggest opportunity to put into practice your vision. You shouldn't be rush but you should work for it steadily.


Value of bill



The last night of Luang Phabang, 10 drivers of auto rickshaw were talking about how to help me in front of airport. 
When you leave a Laos, you need 10 dollars bill. 
But I had only 10,000 yen and ticket for Laos. 
The airplane was preparing for departure. 
I yelled in English "I have no dollar! I have yen". 
Then a driver told me to"Come" so I sat his rickshaw and it started moving. 
"Go Go Go Go" 
Fortunately, I exchanged my yen to 10 dollar bill and I came back to airport. 
I thank him so much, and I gave him 10 dollars and rest of the tickets I had. 
He looked so happy and he said something "month" and "live". Maybe 10 dollar bill was a large sum of money for the driver I guess.
I hoped so.

You should think Bigger of your business

As long as you are going to be thinking anyway,  think bigger.

This is what Donald Trump, American real estate developer and political candidate, said. Even he had experience of declaring bankruptcy his corporate 4 times, he is still billionaire.
Is problem which seems big to you really big?
Is it truly become your trouble?

The issue is done. But it makes me mad

I introduced my friend to others for make business. 
I meant it for the best and I didn't have mind of share. 
After introducing, I called the friend. 
He showed sulky attitude and expressed backward-looking way of thinking.

If you have a mind of good for everyone, your business will develop.

"Whatever" I stayed calm.
However, after a few minutes, I've lost my temper.

If you change your perspective, you will settle your anger and anxiety.

It is hard to settle your anxiety and anger, even you patch things up for the moment.
However, if you look different point of view, you will find different reality.
Even some manager showed you negative attitude, it is possible that you will be promoted to a higher position than the manager.
Even you quit your job, it is able that you earn money. 
Many of Japanese sigh own low-income, however; average annual income of Japanese is $33,232 (It is seventh highest amount of annual income in the world). 
In Japan, it is said that only 1% is wealthy people. It means there are million wealth people are in Japan. In addition, according to data, Japan becomes more safe place than past.

The population of China is over thousand 3 hundred million.
The number of Japanese tourist travelling abroad was less than 20 million.
However, the number of Chinese tourist travelling abroad was more than 100 million. 
If you count wealthy people in China as 1%, the number becomes higher than population of Tokyo.

Expand your consciousness wider

Evolution of human is big bang of human consciousness. 
I heard it is the concept of the theory of evolution.
It seems, it is true that you should think big about your life and business.
Let's be aware of think big to become big instead of doing something meaningless, 
Your incredible idea will eliminate your worry.

You have to do to only one thing to change your career successfully.

Employee, part-time job or without an occupation...
I guess some of you try to change your career on various conditions for some reasons. 

If you already decided you change your career, what do people around you say about your determination? “It’s too early”. “You should do it at any cost”, “Now is your chance”. 

In my case “Get job and start working quickly”

Everyone is perfect. 

In the first place, why we Japanese have to read a *Quarterly Journal, ask job opening-to application ratio and study how to investigate the corporate earnings?  I’m also wondering why we study how to write curricula vitae and practice for the job interview. So I suspect excellence job seekers don’t do such troublesome activities.

*Quarterly Journal （Shiki-Ho 四季報）is the name of book. Over 5000 companies information in Japan are written on the book.

I guess some of you are confusing because of researching the companies and have job interview one after another. Are we really so bad?

It is opposite

To come right to the point, “The thing you should do is opposite” I found this conclusion during I was looking for a job. This conclusion is common to all business. So it is very important things and I want you to think carefully about this.

1 "Revers the order" You have things to do before sending job application, writing curricula vitae, and preparing job interview. 

2 “Direction is opposite” Don’t look at outside and make a comparison between you and others. Look at inside and reflect on yourself.

3 “Position is opposite” It is always seller’s market. If you believe it is buyer’s market, employer beat you down price.

One action for today

Define your ideal condition in detail

Income, occupation category, working hours, vacation, firm size, and etc… Have fun to define.

Make a phone call to some companies for career change

“Where is Quarterly Journal?” When I was 29, I practically forced to look for a new job. I didn’t have an experience of job hunting for big businesses when I was university student. So I didn’t know the difference of acting between job hunting and looking for a new job.

Not even had PC. I bought Quarterly Journal and I turned the page. I dialed the company which is written on the journal.  “Hello, I want you to hire me” I called 30 companies, and they replied “Read the recruitment information, please”. Of course no company hired me. I did this whole day, and then, I realized that. There is no company would answer “Please come here to have an interview” when they got only phone call.

Breakthrough exists only outside of common sense. Best wishes to you! By isso

Confidence is everything in the business. 3 habits to make your vision come true

When I look back about I quit my job which I worked for almost 10 years, I come up with some thoughts. 
"Why people work at their company continuously","Why people quit the job", "Why people change career", or "Why people start a business".
Even there are several reasons, I want to tell you something if you waver in your mind.

If you image what you want to be and be confidence, something will happen.

I want to take my friend in Ferrari, this is my biggest motivation in business. 
More specifically, the Ferrari which is full of welsh onion and water melon. 
I take the Ferrari after I finished farm work.

I still tackle this image come true.
The tide is running in my favor.

Today I tell the tips of thinking how you keep your ideal image and make it clear.

You should think "I am great". 

This confidence quote is Japan's top tax payer Hitori Saito advocates. 
As I wrote before
Where there is a will, there is a way. This is an exercise to raise your annual income
this thought brings you incredible effect.

You have great ability. 
If you put it into practice, amazing events and lots of chance will come to you.
When you make your ideal image clear and you have the confidence that you can make it true, it comes.

The chance will come unexpectedly. Don't miss out and show your appreciation for person who gives you chance

"I want 100 million dollars immediately".
"I want to live in mansion". 
"I want to cruising Caribbean Sea"
Take in your hands actual thing and image what you want.
If you want cash, take 100 or 1000 dollars in your hands.
If you want to live somewhere or do something, look some pictures everyday which are closed to your image.

Do you think it is ridiculous? 
Just take my word for it.
Then look around where you can see.
The chance will come to you unexpectedly.
It should occur that the amount of money what you want will be turned into "materials""meeting with people" and "business opportunity" 
Even it is small, you should not miss out the chance and show gratitude for the people who give you a chance.


Gravity of your confidence attract people, materials and capital

Money, chance and happiness come from human.
You attract anything depend on your confidence of your vision and ideal.

Let's blow up your idealized image and make it clear to be aware of your ideal becomes reality.

You are amazing. Best wishes to you! by isso

Amount of salary is proportional to amount of reading. Aiming at higher target expand your consciousness.

"I don't read that" When I looked for the book about management philosophy, self-development and export at bookstore, I could hear young people were talking near to bookshelf.

At bookstore, there were the book about most successful manager or financier like Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles, Og Mandino, Jeffrey Bezos, Tony Robbins, Warren Buffett, Konosuke Matsushita and so on. Wisdom of human being is written on such books. 

There isn't "hint" but "answer" 

There is a data about relativity between amount of reading and income. 
http://matome.naver.jp/odai/2141183457311813501(Japanese)
From my point of view, it is because, people who read such books make great effort to put into practice what great man did on past.

There are idea, strategy, tactics and words which stir you up to put into practice on these books. 
Let's change your thought, and your circumstance, to turn your idea into reality.

The things you don't have to do it on A.M to reduce your task and relationship stress.

What is your true purpose

Communication skill, time management, leadership, personal-relationship, work-life balance, business manner, and etc...
What do you think about these abilities which are believed to be important to improve these skills for office worker even it's not for sure that they need us to earn profit or not.

What we can do on each day is limited

You can do anything you want to.
However, when you do something for what you want, you should consider that your time is limited.

What you have to concentrate is achievement of your goal.
You should do your best to create what you can do for improving life of yours and your friends.
So you should think about what is really necessary thing to do for your purpose.

Reduce your task and relationship stress to accomplish your goal.

The list you should stop for your accomplish

1. Ride same train and go same course every morning with reading newspaper or mobile phone to gathering popular and meaningless information.

Your daily inefficient works brings you inefficient result.

If you commute over one hour each way and you work 30 years, you will spent one and half year for commuter time with gathering popular information which is everybody knows.

You should consider of changing such act.

2. Have conversation with your boss, colleague, or your junior at morning.

"You should be morning person" I was a night owl and I resisted to become morning person for long time.

However, after I started to wake up early, I found that I can concentrate especially on morning. It is said that human being c4 hours after wake up is the best time of concentrate. It seems like it is true.

You don't need to try to gauge someone's feeling. If you are annoying of greeting someone on morning, stop that and focus on your daily activity.

3 Turn on the PC and check every email you received and reply all of them on morning.

I convinced that checking email on morning makes your confusion. It distracts you. 
Others emotion or circumstance ruin your day.

E-mail is useful because we cab read it for our convenience. 
If people want reply immediately, they should call someone on the phone. 
E-mail is not everything of your life.

4 Answer the phone call from someone.

In past, someone said to me "I should pick up the phone call. You should realize why the company gave your cellular phone" many times.
However, there was no serious moment that I had to answer the phone immediately.

From my point of view, the business which work with people who force you to answer the phone immediately isn't profitable.
What do you think?

5 Make an effort to attend several meetings and speak something meaningless to appeal yourself to someone.

Speak up actively is good things in general. 
However, if you speak some superficial thing ambiguously at last of meeting to call the shots or speak something general to disturb the argument for develop consensus, you shouldn't do that.

About discussion, produce friction is much better than conclude something ambiguous. 
Ambiguous conclusion leads you to vague output.
If you aren't ready to show leadership at meeting, there is no worth to attend it.

Same cause always brings you same results.

Start something new good habits. Best wishes to you. By isso

Is that improvement of your task skills?

Or earn higher-knowledge?

Work faster?

I convinced from my experience about business and conversation between me and manager of several companies.

What I realized is Strong Individual is so effective

Any companies implement employee training to improve his/her skill and make him/her learn about own company.

In spite of that, I believe each individual stir up own enthusiasm from leader who is closest to him/her.

There is no doubt that implement training for employee is important. 

Furthermore, hiring employee is more important.

Each company should be more serious about hiring strong individual and nurture him/her.

Furthermore, you should to give high priority to increase strong individual and not 10 staff.

This is the way to build your team stronger.

5 reasons you should focus on obtaining and nurturing one employee 

Reason 1: Strong individual stir up 100 people's enthusiasm

Reason 2: Strong individual tells 100 people about importance of existence.

Reason 3: Strong individual changes 100 cooperators to customers.

Reason 4: Strong individual changes 100 customers to salespeople.

Reason 5: Strong individual attracts other strong individual

I will tell detail about how to find out difference between prospect and the person who is hopeless later.

Obtaining and nurturing strong individual has tremendous positive impact on your team.

You have to concentrate on find him/her and exploit his/her ability.

Strong individual is superior to numbers crowd.

Hiring and developing one person becomes prime mover to change ten thousand people change.

What Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests


According to American psychologist Abraham Maslow,  human needs are distinguished to Psychological, Safety, Love/belonging, Esteem and Self-actualization. 
He described these needs as ordered in a prepotent hierarchy. 
It consisted like pyramid and if you satisfied the bottom need(psychological), you would give your attention to the next highest level.

Even if you give your attention to the higher level, you get hungry

Psychological needs are basic needs(food, sleep or etc). If I follow Maslow's theory, you give your attention after you eat and sleep. 
There is a thing you have to do before you give your attention to your income, where you live, relationship with someone, self esteem and respect of others, You should eat and sleep. Human brain mixed up lots of things to confuse you.

Let's eat something delicious food to have more fun at work

You should connect good restaurant and your destination. It is effective for have more fun at visiting. After enjoying your lunch, your business talk will be much better.

-Make out a schedule to visit nice coffee shop when you go back.
