Part 2 | Create domestically, amplify internationally
── This is the form of investment and work that fits me best right now
Recently, I took another look at the overall picture of my asset formation.
I've gone through a lot of trial and error, but the approach that makes the most sense to me now is the following.
Create money domestically, and amplify it internationally.
This might be the golden path for me right now.
The place to "create" money is domestically and through my own efforts
First, as a major premise, I want to place the area where I create money in a domain I can control.
Main job
My work at a cubicle manufacturer. This is my most stable source of income, built on a foundation of technology, experience, and trust.
Side job
Article creation and dissemination. By verbalizing my knowledge and experience and leaving them as content, I am gradually turning labor into "assets."

For now, rather than trying to earn a large amount, this is an attempt to preserve my thoughts, records, and stories as value.
It also has the potential to connect to overseas markets as a result.
I believe these are all areas where results can be improved through effort and ingenuity.
The place to "amplify" money is internationally and through the power of the market
On the other hand, I don't force myself to work hard in the growth phase.
S&P 500
NASDAQ
BTC (Bitcoin)
These overseas assets are a world where you cannot win through individual effort alone, but you can participate in them.
Growth rates, scale, and compound interest. I am simply borrowing elements that are difficult to obtain within Japan alone.
I am not the protagonist here.
I just need to ride the power of the market.
Why does this distinction feel right?
The reason is simple.
Do not mix the earning phase with the growing phase.
Do not try to change your life through investing.
Use investing to expand the surplus created in your life.
By making this distinction,
you become less likely to be swayed by market fluctuations.
Thinking like an engineer,
domestic work and side hustles are the 'power plant'.
Overseas investment is the 'power grid'.
Accumulated assets are 'storage and transformation'.
If power generation is stable, you can maximize the benefits of the power grid.
Conversely, if power generation remains unstable,
tinkering only with the power grid will not stabilize the whole system.
My current conclusion:
Create domestically, amplify internationally. I earn, the world grows. It may not be flashy, but
I feel this is the most realistic approach for the long term.
I intend to keep this focus steady moving forward.
