[Gratitude] The note beginner workshop that reached full capacity. The "one single thing" I learned from announcing it
Thank you so much!
The "note Beginner Dojo" I opened for applications the other day was, thankfully, fully booked in two hours, and even after adding more seats, it reached capacity again.
I even received this message from someone who managed to sign up at the very last minute...!
Good evening, are there any seats left?
I've been interested for a long time, but I couldn't make up my mind until the very last minute.
It must have taken a lot of courage to send that message.
Thank you so much.
I could feel the sentiment behind that step you took, and it filled me with the desire to respond with all my might!
I am truly, truly filled with gratitude.
Today, I would like to write about the "one single thing" I learned through announcing this workshop.
Although I started the recruitment with great enthusiasm, deep down...
It took about a month from the time I thought, "I want to do something through note," until I made the announcement.
While sharing my trial and error process on X and holding consultation sessions to listen to people struggling with "not being able to keep up with note," I carefully and meticulously built it up.
I plan to write about what I did to reach full capacity another time, but regardless, this is a workshop packed with my passion.
I don't want the participants to feel like they've wasted their time. With that in mind, I worked hard, agonizing over every detail.
I wrote the announcement article, and the preparations were complete.
Even so, I was very anxious deep down.
Even though it's two days and there are supporters, it's not exactly a cheap price. I really agonized over it until the very last moment before the announcement.
The way I announced it was also a series of trial and error.
The "promotion" other than the announcement article was also a series of trial and error.
On X, how should I post to convey my thoughts?
In the articles, how should I casually mention it?
And above all, I wanted to avoid my words hurting anyone at all costs.
This is because in the past, I have been so busy that my words and actions became incoherent, and I ended up hurting someone important to me.
It was with that anxiety that I began recruiting for this workshop.
However, the people who ultimately signed up were those who believed in me and honestly took action on the 'I want to try this!' feeling within themselves.
What I learned from making the announcement was everyone's kindness
Even after I started accepting applications, I was nervous the whole time.
Whenever I got a notification of a new sign-up, I was so happy I could jump for joy, but that joy was fleeting. As soon as the notifications stopped, anxiety would immediately wash over me.
Even so, what I learned from doing this was that if you pour your heart into conveying your feelings with all your might, there will always be people who resonate with you. If you keep putting your true feelings into words, people who receive them and support you will appear.
Those who shared it on X
Those who mentioned me during their own Zoom sessions
Those who readily accepted the challenge of being a supporter when I asked, 'Please tell me about being a supporter!'
Those who, despite being busy with their own work, smiled and agreed to be a supporter when I said, 'If there are no sign-ups, I might not be able to ask you,' by saying, 'I'll keep my schedule open for you!'
Those who reached out to say, 'I'm rooting for you!'
And above all, those who used their own time and money to sign up because they wanted to 'take a new step forward.'
Through this announcement, I received so much kindness. This is a world I never would have known if I hadn't taken on the challenge of planning and announcing this workshop.
The one single realization
The one single thing I learned from this announcement is that 'your feelings will reach people.'
'I might not be able to say it well'
'I don't know how it will be received'
Even while holding onto such anxieties, if you properly convey your true feelings, there will always be people who receive them and support you.
In my own courses, I always tell people that 'those who support others are those who are supported.' I felt that once again through this experience.
I am truly filled with gratitude for everyone who was involved.
I share techniques for note writing that gather 'likes' and 'empathy'.
In this note, I share the behind-the-scenes of my challenges and how to put thoughts into words and deliver them, just as I did this time, while leveraging my experience in operational support and teaching at entrepreneurship schools.
The next workshop has not been scheduled yet.

Putting your thoughts into words takes courage.
I also feel embarrassed sometimes, and there are moments when I feel like hiding in a hole, thinking, 'This might be lame!'
But beyond that first step, a very, very warm world was waiting for me.
That is why I will continue to put my thoughts into words from now on.
Today was fun, too.
Thank you.
