There is a very high possibility that they will be my first and last students.

Eight people participated in the advance trial. Of those, three moved on to this course as the first cohort.
Honestly, I didn't think anyone would.

I created the best text and exercises I could right now, but I also think that if I were a third party, I would be suspicious and stay away.

If I have any chance of winning when compared to other courses, I believe it is through thorough individual support. That is all I can do.

Whether I can satisfy them or not. Rather than worrying about that, my approach is just to do it. I've been doing it with that mindset, so I'm a little relieved that it seems to have gotten through.

Among the many courses and schools out there, choosing an unknown, independently operated instructor is quite a remarkable thing.

Once these three graduate, I'll be back to square one. That in itself makes me anxious. There is a very high possibility that they will be my first and last students.

I realized one thing.
I received comments like, 'I want follow-up support' and 'I want to consult with you, but I feel bad about taking up your time.'

I really understand that feeling. Consulting is expensive. But there is no place to casually talk about small hitches, like 'this sentence doesn't feel right, what should I do?'

That's why I'm thinking of changing the membership to be completely individual support. If it can be used like a subscription, wouldn't they be able to talk to me at their own convenience? That's what I'm thinking.

Honestly, I have some resistance to charging money. But I also understand the feeling of holding back, thinking that talking about such things for free is...
I want to create a perfect place somewhere on that boundary.

Though I'm still exploring it.

Writing is fun, but the moment you become able to write, it becomes difficult and painful.

The steps from beginner to intermediate are detailed and long. I've seen many people drop out there.

You were following someone's posts, but before you knew it, they were gone. I think you might have had that experience too.

You cannot survive just by following others. I believe this is the truth.
Now that AI exists, the ability to create something from zero to one on your own is necessary. It's about creating a state where you can write in your own words, rather than tracing someone else's.

That is what I want to do together at Kotolab.

Because if you do it alone, it will take eight years. You don't want that, right?
I don't want that. It feels like these eight years are about to be taken away by AI.

However, if you have the basics, you understand the structure. You understand the mechanism. You can see what lies ahead. That's why I can still stand here now.

Because I want to encounter many more pieces of content in the future, I will share them and make efforts to have them received.
I want to deliver them not just through courses, but through note and individual support.

Even if there are zero students two months from now.
