Going down the road of handmade soap
It's more of a coincidence than a necessity.
From the beginning to the present.
It took me three years and ten months.
It's fate and choice.
Though it's not a success yet.
But I've also accumulated a few thoughts to share with you.
①Don't use entrepreneurship as a way to avoid your current job.
"I don't like my current job. I'd rather be my own boss."
I hope this isn't the reason you started your own business.
It's relatively easy to get paid to do a job.
Just do your job.
There are so many things to consider when starting a business
More things to take on for yourself
Psychological stress.
You don't even get a chance to relax.
Working 15 hours a day.
One person as three.
Being able to work hard is the first requirement for starting a business
②Have you built up your mind? Have the determination to learn everything that is unfamiliar to you.
If you're already thinking about starting your own business
Is it mentally prepared?
Entrepreneurial skills don't happen overnight
In addition to taking the time to build professional competence in the field
There's more to do than you think.
It's not the business project itself that often gets you down.
It's about sustaining the cause.
Other things you have to invest in
For example:
Analyzing market demand, developing marketing campaigns, producing advertising materials, customer service, establishing and expanding sales channels, and operating social media platforms...etc.
These things happen when you start a business.
Every day, you have to invest in learning and understanding
additionally
The pace of change in all sectors is rapid.
New styles and techniques are constantly being introduced.
You have to keep up with the times.
Be professional in your field.
Spend time and effort on research and practice if you are not specialized enough.
The prerequisite for making money is
Be responsible for your products
Take responsibility for the services you provide
It's okay if it's not good enough.
But you have to be determined to improve the quality
④ Time Management: The Importance of Self-Discipline
There's a price to pay for a life of freedom.
Because it's easy to control people.
It's hard to control yourself.
If there is still a need for home care
You'd think it'd be nice to have 36 hours in a day.
On the Road to Entrepreneurship
I don't want to waste any time.
⑤ Work hard in silence, but don't expect too much.
Not everything you do will come back to you.
You have to keep trying to find the right way.
"How do you know if it's okay if you don't do it?"
It's my motto for starting a business with Mr. Maggie.
So not everything will go as you expect.
You must have the courage to accept "failure".
Maintain mental stability
To help you move forward.
(6) Establishment of correct values and mentality
You have to do everything yourself at the beginning.
Don't think there's a shortcut.
It's okay to imitate others.
But don't copy.
It's okay to ask for help.
But don't take it for granted.
Willingness to start small
Don't vulture yourself.
Respect for rivals in the industry
Competition with its own strengths
Don't use underhanded tactics to compete viciously
You never know who you've offended.
How will it affect your future?
(vii) Willingness to invest in yourself by continuing education
One of the paradoxical things about starting your own business is that
You can't walk around with the same mindset your whole life.
Especially in today's world of information and transparency.
Sustainability input is required
Only then can we provide a valuable output
Whether it's going to a class, reading a book, or reading information
Or talk to someone.
All of which can help you to be inspired and empowered.
(8) Need to have the immediate realization of the mindset and down-to-earth
A well-made product (work) is meant to be sold
It's not for show.
No initial revenue
In case you make a mistake and lose money.
You won't last a month.
But don't start with the idea of making a lot of money.
All big money comes from small, insignificant amounts.
⑨ Developing Rapid Learning Skills
If you need a skill, you learn it right away.
Learning and practicing
Groping for light in the darkness
Why are entrepreneurs highly motivated?
Because of the lack of execution.
We'll just have to keep burning money.
–
I used to say.
Starting a business is a way to change your destiny
It could be better.
But it could be worse.
So before you make this big decision.
Need to think carefully
If you ask me if I evaluated my business before I started it.
I'll be honest.
I didn't think that way at the time.
Because even if it doesn't work.
It didn't affect my life back then.
But this moment is different.
Brother Asako and I are already in the pit.
Every decision we make now.
They anticipate their ability to take responsibility for failure.
No pie in the sky.
The ground is full of traps.
Only if you try.
It's the only way to succeed.
When you come to the little soap room
I hope you're having fun.
I hope it becomes a choice in your life.
