At the end of July this year, it has been eight years since I quit my job as a salaryman and became independent.
i'm glad to be independent, yes.
As data shows, 15 percent of companies survive for more than five years
given the risks that we're having,
Speaking of recommending independence to people, it is NO.
but from now on, it's not a safe society because they are employed.
even at our company right now we're looking for new employees. But --
If you are an employee or a new employee, it is not a technique of small hands and I want to learn the minds and skills that will be the basis for work that can be done even if it is independent.

1. Think about where to work

The first thing I want to tell independent people about from now on is that we want them to stick to the places they strive for.

before i became independent

Work results = quality of effort × amount of effort

I thought.
Most of the students, salarymen, who are the path that many people go through have been determined by someone else to be teachers, bosses or solve what problems (= places of effort), so this is a good idea and results.

but after independence

The outcome of a job　 place to strive for 　x quality of effort × amount of effort

It will be.
Instead of solving the problem that someone has set up, you will solve it yourself.

in the classics of military books, which are well-known as strategic textbooks
the first thing you do is don't fight.
If you have to fight, it is written to think about where to fight;
the ability to choose what problem to solve (the place of effort)
it's the most important skill since independence, and if you make a mistake here
No matter how much effort you raise, it won't result.

And the better you were to solve a problem that someone had set, the less likely your strategy was
I feel like there’s a tendency to get into places where competition is fierce and it hurts.

Then, what kind of place should I choose?It's a place where there is need, but there are no fierce competition and you can not fight with people.
The more independent and successful you are, the better your job is to “find a place where people don’t compete.
A company with five or less employees is called a microcompany, but if you are independent by yourself
It means that we have less power than a small company.
Be aware of it and find a place to live without its power.

2. Concentrate your power, make a decision, and if you decide to do so, eliminate any other possibilities

dynamite isn't strong when it explodes out of a "powerful"
The force when it explodes from "concentrating power" is strong.
Water guns are not powerful because they have a lot of water,
It is powerful because it concentrates the power when water jumps out.

no matter how excellent you are, the total amount of human goods and money that you have
Among the great capitalism, it is like a boat floating in a turbulent current.
If you still want to do a good job, you have to concentrate on your power.

That's the decision.
Then, the decision is written as "Decision and break".
it's not enough to make a decision, and after deciding on that choice
It’s important to cut off the other possibilities.

If you decide, do not hesitate to concentrate your power thoroughly.

Immediately after independence, some people give advice to say "I'll do anything," but I think it is a bad person.
Rather, because you can't do anything with your own power, it is important to choose and focus where to concentrate.

3. Think about things from the point of view of your opponent, not face them; go in the same direction.

There may be some people who are reluctant to use the word “customer first” which is repeated like a theme.
However, the basic business is to think from the perspective of the other person.

What is important here is not to think about the other party's "thing" such as a customer or business partner that you will be involved in, but to think "in the position" of the other person.

The other person has the interests and values that he or she has cultivated in his life.
even if you think about the other person's opinion
sometimes it's unacceptable
There are many cases where you can't do anything with your efforts.

However, you can change your “seen appearance in the other person’s eyes” with your own efforts.
Thinking about things from the other person's point of view is not just thinking about them.
It is to change your own behavior so that "the appearance of yourself in the other person's eyes" becomes the best.

and if you're paying for you
that there's a purpose you want to pay for.
Let's imagine the purpose and achieve it.

Your customer is not a patron.
You shouldn't think that you can do what you want with people's money
What you do with people's money will make your purpose come true.
The more people who serve others with that idea, the better they are.
It’s not just the monetary reward, it’s also the other person’s happy figure.
Seeing what makes you happy when you realize your purpose creates a better job.

4. Separate facts from factual interpretation and start by looking at the truth as it is.

Human beings are creatures with bias and prejudice.
When you said, "I ate a delicious egg in the morning,"
In fact, you say, "I ate an egg in the morning."
Whether you feel "delicious" or not is an interpretation of the facts;
It is a human being who thinks that "delicious egg grilled" is one fact.

I think that both fake news and conspiracy theory believe in suspicious religion is the same root, but unless trained people cannot think separately of facts and interpretations, and I think it's true what they want to believe.

Plans based on hopeful observation, troubleshooting that is becoming too pessimistic and arguments that are subjective to each other all arise from the inconsistencies of what is "fact" and what is " fact interpretation".

The right decision starts with the correct recognition of current situation.
Observe facts without bias and make value decisions from them.
And it is the numbers that are important to think about what's true.
People are strong when they say something to a person based on the results of observations without bias.
Opinions that are not based on objective grounds at work cannot persuade many people.

5. Let's start with the mold.

fools learn from experience, wise men learn from history.
However, the shape that has remained beyond the history derived from our predecessors is meaningful.
Instead of trying to do something new with your original way of working from the beginning, you should look at the model in that field and try it out as a textbook.
For example, Chinese characters.
In a group where children write their own order completely freely and in a group that thoroughly teaches them to write, there is an experiment where the group who taught the order thoroughly becomes more beautiful.
Because there is a "kata" you can do it, and if there is no "kata", it's "no mold".

6. It works well from the beginning, and let's decide where to give up when it doesn't work.

Whether you’re working with a new person or a new project, getting things right from the start will work.
On the other hand, it is very rare that things that don’t go well at first can be reversed once.
Dramatic one-shot reversals like those that come out in a movie are made into movies because they rarely happen in reality.
Instead of spending unlimited amount of human money on things that don’t work well and working hard, if you can’t do so much, give up as if you broke the bamboo and think about the next thing and move to another action will reduce mental and financial damage for yourself and others involved.
Just as divorce is more difficult than marriage, it’s harder to withdraw from a new project or business rather than start one, so before you start a new project, you should promise objective numbers (e. g. , withdrawal if there are any cumulative deficits) about giving up on the withdrawal line to those involved if they can’t do this much.
"Don't give up until the end" is beautiful as a story, Development of European Sound Speed Airplane Concorde There are many things in the world that "if you gave up earlier, there would have been no great damage" and keep it at a corner of your head that people will not see such unpleasant facts.

There are only a few things you can decide on 7.1 days. Let's make rules so that we don't have to use our heads at all

even inside the company
"Let's make it rule, not match."
I often say, but the amount of things that any good person can make a decision on a day is limited.
It's only because we can rule things, we can make rules and reduce the amount of work that cannot be done without using our heads.
Keeping the resources to make important decisions creates room and ultimately increases the amount of work you can do in a day.
In other words, it's the same as traffic rules; we now have a signal so that you can drive without worrying about what your partner is thinking.
If there is no rule of signal, what if you were driving while giving in air and discussion with other cars?
They care every day, accidents increase and they wear out mentally.
As with work, having rules prevents you and your team from exhausting.

8.Let's develop not only the "earn" skills, but also the "use" skills.

People talk about how to earn money such as annual income, but people don't care about "how to spend money", but it is also an important skill to "use the money that they earned correctly".
There is no job in the world that can be done completely alone, so you have to ask someone for money to do what you cannot.
At that time, what part of the job should I think about and what kind of things would you ask someone who is doing?
How do you spend your money for the future of yourself and those around you, rather than just accumulating it?
Management is also a rental competition, so it's important to collect money for those who can use the money correctly and to keep the money circulating properly.

9. The most important thing about the rules on money is whether or not it can be paid on the day you promised to pay, rather than in red or surplus

When it comes to independence, I think the existence of money is something that has even more vivid power.
For a business, money is gasoline for the car and that’s not what it wants to do but if you don’t get there, it can be difficult to reach your destination and if you mishandle it will lead to serious accidents.

and the most important rule about money is more than surplus or deficit
"I'll pay the day I promised to pay."
Yes.
In other words, it is simple, but if you think about this, you can see the indicators that need to be looked at in management such as how much deficit will be acceptable and what time a business must grow.

If you can pay the money on the day you promised to pay in the red, it won't go bankrupt.
If the money you promise to pay by surplus cannot be paid, it may go bankrupt.

You may be frustrated that the first person in particular is not making any money,
For example, even in household finances there is a decision that the monthly household budget will cut down its savings and attend a qualified school to improve their skills, even if they are losing money.
Even if you know that a big bonus will come in six months from now, it’s the same as getting people to drive out of your house unless they pay your rent this month.

You may find it difficult to hear about cash flow, but if you follow the rule of “pay on the day you promise to pay the money that you promise to pay”, whether in red or black, I don’t think there will be a great pain.

In addition, I think there are various ways of thinking about money related to work including other prices.
Some people think they're going to be profitable from the beginning, while others think that even if you lose a lot of money at first, they'll make a big profit in the future.
Some people succeed by lowering the price, and others by higher prices.
It is said that the way of thinking of a person appears in the movement of money, but if you can make your own management philosophy, I think it will come with the idea of money.

let's protect 10.1 to 9 and do what we feel love for

I don't think that it will work if you only have love, but finally something like love for the job splits the game.

love on rationality.

If you build your own foundation with the above mentioned 1-9 and do whatever you want to do for people who can feel love, then there will surely be a way out.

These stories, to put it aside, come from my experience of making such mistakes.
I will use these as my precautions and devote myself to our employees, their new independent friends, so that they can make the same mistakes as me.
Thank you for reading to the end!
