Even if you can't go out, even in your 40s, even if you only have a smartphone. ——To you, who thinks, "Is it too late?"

Hello, this is Akatsuki.

Today, I'm not talking about know-how.
This is a message for you, who has always felt somewhere in your heart that "it might be too late."

I often receive messages like these.

> "I'm interested in a side hustle. But I'm already in my 40s."
> "I have circumstances that prevent me from working outside."
> "I don't even have a computer, just a smartphone."
> "Honestly, I don't have the confidence to start something now."

——I understand. I understand it painfully well.
In your 40s, only having a smartphone, and lacking confidence at this stage.
That is exactly who I used to be.

Honestly, I don't have circumstances that prevent me from going out.
But I hear those voices often, and I can imagine that pain.

The true nature of "it's too late"

First, let me say just one thing.

"It's too late" is usually just an assumption.

We tend to arbitrarily set "people who are young, have time, can use a PC, and haven't failed" as the standard,
and feel depressed by comparing ourselves to them, thinking "I'm behind."

But who decided on that standard?

The real me is——
In my 40s. While working as a company employee. Stumbled many times with side hustle scams. I have a PC but rely on my smartphone.

No matter how you look at it, I'm in the "late-starter group," right? (laughs)
But even someone like me can steadily share my own words and properly connect with people.

I was able to start while still having all the conditions I thought made me "late."

Things that actually become "strengths"

This is very important, so I want you to listen.

Many of the things you think are "weaknesses" turn intostrengthswhen you share them.

▶ Cannot go out → Compatible with work that can be completed at home
Zero commute, zero face-to-face. Can be done in spare time.
"Cannot go out" is not a negative in this way of working.

▶ 40s or older → Your words have the "weight of experience"
There is aweight of having livedthat young people's flashy posts don't have.
The words of those who have struggled and taken detours reach the hearts of those with the same worries deeply.

▶ Only have a smartphone → Can stay on the same level as the reader
Rather than someone working hard on the latest PC,
"I'm doing my best with just a smartphone"is much more relatable. Being down-to-earth builds trust.

▶ Have had painful experiences → Can understand people's pain
You can be kind to others in proportion to your failures.
You can sincerely say, "I understand how you feel." This is a strong weapon.

It's okay to go slowly

Just in case, I will be honest with you.

This is not a story about "anyone can earn money right now."
(I never want to say that kind of thing again)

It takes time. It's modest.
But,even if you start late, you can still build things up properly. That is true.

You don't need to rush by comparing yourself to others.
If you can move just a little bit further than you were yesterday, that is more than enough.

With that said,
for those who thought even a little bit, "Can I do it too?"
I have arrived at this after many detours:"How side hustle beginners can take their first step"I am giving this to those who register for LINE.
🌷 I'll leave the place where I am so you don't have to carry it all alone.

No matter what age you are, no matter what your situation is.
It's okay to go at your own pace.
