Nice to meet you. I'm Taka | Self-introduction and summary of activities
Introduction
Nice to meet you, I'm Taka.
In this note, I write about
rebuilding your life from middle age and
the feeling of making your own money without relying on a company.
In the past, I thought that if I had a high deviation score, I could live a life better than average.
But the reality was different.
I repeated job changes, and by the time I was 40, I was completely stuck, losing my place to escape both at work and at home, and I disappeared to Nishinari.
From there, I started a part-time cleaning job, and through field work, I gradually rebuilt my life.
In this note, I write about what I realized during those experiences and the reality of living in the field.
Self-introduction
When I was a student, I attended a school with a reasonably high deviation score.
So, somewhere along the line, I was convinced that "I should be able to live a life better than average."
Maybe I was underestimating society a little.
I got a job without any special effort, and as a result, I repeated job changes.
Before I knew it, I had changed jobs five times by the age of 40.
The last job I chose was real estate sales. It was a world where I aimed for a high income through incentives.
But I didn't get any results.
I was pressured at work, and I was expected to produce results at home, and gradually I had nowhere left to run.
And one day, I disappeared to Nishinari.
I had about 200,000 yen in cash on hand.
I thought my life was over.
After that, what I started for a living was
a part-time job cleaning buildingsat 900 yen per hour.
I chose it because I thought it was a job where I wouldn't have to talk to people much,
and I could just work quietly.
There, my supervisor
praised me, saying my work was thorough.
When I focus on my work, I can forget about unpleasant things.
That's why I just focused on working quietly.
But, it feels good to be praised and recognized by others.
For me, who had been constantly denied until then,
that one word meant a lot.
"Maybe I can still do it."
That was the moment I felt that way.
After that, I realized the appeal of field work,
and became independent in house cleaning.
I handed out flyers to get work,
learned techniques by helping others,
and started getting involved in insect and rodent control and termite work.
Now, I make a living while doing field work.
In this note,
・Rebuilding life from middle age
・Working without depending on a company
・The reality of living in the field
I will write about these things, not as sugar-coated ideals, but
based on my own experiences.
What I share in this note
In this note, I mainly write about the following themes.
1. Rebuilding life from middle age
Through my experience of hitting a wall at 40 and disappearing to Nishinari,
I realized that even if life falls apart once, it can be rebuilt.
In this note, I write about what I noticed during those experiences.
2. The mindset of living without depending on a company
I used to be convinced that
"I can't live unless I work for a company and get a salary."
.
However, through field work, I learned
the feeling of getting work myself and generating cash.
In this note, I also write about that way of thinking.
③ The reality of field work and independence
I have worked in the world of field work, such as house cleaning, handyman services, and pest and rodent control.
I also write about
the realities of the field and work stories that are not often talked about on social media.
④ Records of life failures and rebuilding
My life has by no means been smooth sailing.
Job changes, failures, disappearing.
I have taken many detours.
In this note, including those experiences, I write about
rebuilding one's life from middle age.
⑤ Record of side hustle challenges from my 50s
I have rebuilt my life as a manual laborer since the age of 40, but after passing 50,
the anxiety of "Can I continue manual labor like this?"
and "What will I do if I get injured or have an accident?"
would not leave my mind.
Then one day, by chance, I encountered "blog affiliate marketing,"
and I thought, if I continue to work on it steadily after work, could it become an asset?
So that is what I am currently working on.
I will be posting about my side hustle challenge records mainly on social media (X).
I would be happy if you could follow me.

First book
Based on my actual experiences between the ages of 30 and 40, this book conveys concrete methods to escape the state of "hyper-tension" where the mind is never at ease, while citing ideas from Buddhism and Western philosophy.
My second book
This is a work that recreates the process of rebuilding my life as a sole proprietor after disappearing at age 40, through a dialogue with my 'past self'.

About future posts
From now on, on this note, I will continue to write about
rebuilding one's life from middle age,
and ways of working that do not depend on a company.
Rather than a story of extraordinary success,
as a record of one middle-aged person who has taken the long way around,
I intend to leave behind the things I have realized through my experiences.
Also, in the future,
・Blog
・Email newsletter
I plan to expand my outreach through these as well.
As soon as preparations are complete, I will compile them on this page one by one.

please take a look at my other articles, books, and YouTube channel.
Thank you for reading this far.
