【転職の真実】常識は幻想。脳を支配する思い込みのワナを排除せよ。

「あの会社、ガラス張りの高層ビルで六本木も近いしめっちゃ行きたい。」これは私の志望動機です。「〇〇は有名だから。」「〇〇は商社だから。」あなたも大なり小なり、こんな理由で職場を探し求めてはいないでしょうか。

いま、転職や第二就職を志すあなたは、もしかすると親御さんに心配されていたり、または奥様やお子さんのために、必死で次の職場を探している方もいらっしゃるかもしれません。それなのに、です。「受付嬢がかわいい」とか「ビルがデカい」とか、私とそう大差ない理由で会社や職場を探し求めてはいないでしょうか。

本当に違うと言い切れるでしょうか。

～いろめがね～

「優秀」「大企業」「人気企業」刷り込まれた常識や概念があなたの思考を邪魔します。「考えて自主的に行動する人」はいても「優秀な人」はいませんし、大企業は人は多くても年収は別問題です。実際、クライアントの中には私の会社の規模より圧倒的に小さく環境が良いにも関わらず、年収にして平均１００万以上多い企業は山ほどあるのです。

★後からわかった企業にまつわるエトセトラ★

①年収が高いのに知らない企業が山ほどあった。

②「BtoB」が主力の地味な企業は概ね良い。

③花形っぽい企業は言うほど良くない。

④「新卒入社」は壮絶。「中途入社」はラク。

⑤年功序列の古い企業は概ね雰囲気が良い。

⑥「⑤」はバイタリティのある若手が辞めていく。

⑦就職人気ランキングは全くあてにならない。

 

～できない私ができること～

過去１７年間に在籍した職場の合計は６カ所、１カ所当たりの平均在籍期間は２．８年、最短だった在籍期間は社員研修だけの２週間、最長だった在籍期間は直近に勤務した会社に９年間。

あなたに心からお伝えしたいのは、あまり深く考えていなかったとしても、就職活動などしたことがないし興味がなかったとしても、あなたは考え方次第ですべてを変えていくことができるし実現することができるということです。

社員・無職・アルバイト・派遣社員・業務委託・社員と契約も生活もめまぐるしく変わりましたが、正直、転職なのか、就職なのか、更生なのかもわかりませんし、細かいことはどうでも良いのです。

重要なのは「あなたがどうするのか」であって、絶対にしてはならないのは「競争の渦」に飲み込まれてしまうことです。下らない僻み、妬み、嫉妬、批判は受けるべきものであり、他に向ける時間や暇はありません。いま、目の前のできることに集中しましょう。

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

Who is the leader? 5 rules of become good leader and the way to exploit member's ablility

Who is the leader?

Your team lacked feeling of tension, the quality of your work becomes law, you cannot manage your team, there is no sense of speed of doing task, and you can't earn profit.
There is a reason why the project lose the power of earning money even it had on past.

Get true leader back

If your company's business expand, you may find the leader who believed patch up lead to find solution and just yelling something "Group" "Organization" "Team".

However, such leader only can exist at the peaceful nation where first-class personnel support even leader moves like merry go round.
In your business, you should find other leader.

It is well known story that Apple's management asked Steve Jobs for help who were fired by their decision.
As it often the case, when such great leader leave or new leader show ambiguous leadership, the atmosphere of group would change dramatically.

Any group or organization won't work without person who think "I will do this". You should become leader and develop next leader.

Destiny of leader 
3 rules you should know

Rule 1: You should take the lead to be embarrassed.
Leader should be the first one to bring it up on meeting.
For lead and manage your team, there is no time to consider atmosphere of people around.
Let's exploit member's power to move your business forward.

Rule 2: It is natural that there is inconsistency in your words
If you are leader, you should take the initiative of instruct and act.
You shouldn't think seriously even there is some inconsistency
You should do something based on your belief and judge it after your act.

Rule 3: Do it by yourself to show your stance to your team member.
It doesn't matter you can do it or not. 
You should't excuse "It is not my specialty" and not do it.
People always support person who shows one enthusiasm even he/she has no experience of doing or not good at doing.

Rule 4: Never show your anxiety or discontent. 
You are full of confidence and never blame someone that it is your fault.(It is OK that you scold them)

There are 2 points of developing next leader.

Point 1: Make up his/her mind to carry business through
Point 2: Make him/her to bear the responsibility of leader.


Anyway, what you should do is make decision for your business, instruct your team members, make mistake, fail, be blamed from someone, and to be laughed.

Make up your mind. Best wishes to you! by isso

A office worker who has tremendous power. You should win such prospect over

It is not for sure that the stone single which person can climb is able to climb by 3 people


I guess people who lead the company projects or new member will join your team have mind of 
tempt man of merit in your team.

Indeed, such person doesn't show up and you may disappoint because of expecting too much.

It is because you already know that even your skill of work improved, increase your speed of work and acquire the knowledge of work, need "something more" for expand your business more.

What you need is not 10,000 Storm Trooper but single Jedi.

Jedi, Superman, and Spider man.
Common point of those characters is each of them have big mission and they beat their enemies alone. Such ultimate person never be defeated even someone make a surprise attack on him or be attacked by 10 people.
A prospect which you try to win over produce more good result than dozens of members.

You should win prospect over.
How to distinguish prospect between others.

The person who takes independent action
Basically, you should look for someone who is able to work alone.
I recommend you to find person who participate unique group but not popular group.
Some people discontent about spirited business business because they always compare the common sense of popular group.
Not external but internal.
You should find independent person who try to breakthrough even someone blame him/her.

The person who isn't belong to the brilliant group.
It is said that "you earn money in the dark". 
The essence of profitable business is sober and simple.
If the business looks magnificent and everyone runs after, the case you find the chance to earn profit is rare.
People who have incredible experience work hard something nobody want to involve.

Tell your great vision to make sure is he honest or not
Let's talk your great vision, dream and plan enthusiastically.
If he/she approves of your idea, looks your eyes to show his/her concern, your business might be succeeded and the person will develop.
If your work with someone who believe "I can make it", you can make it.

It is from my rule of thumbs. 
I strongly believe that my experience will help you if you try to make a group of earning 1000 million business, 

Don't look down individual strength, Best wishes to you. by isso
