[Business Philosophy] Creating Your Own Market and Life: The Journey to Building a Forest
"Fish where the fish are"—most people move in accordance with the correct answers determined by the outside world.
But I couldn't do that.
That is precisely why I chose to "build the entire forest in a place where there are no fish."
It might not be an efficient way to succeed.
It takes time, and it can be isolating.
Even so, there is a "richness" that can only be born there.
Here, I have compiled the journey to letting go of a life lived by external standards and
creating your own market and your own life.

a sense that exists before business.

To those who feel like nothing happens no matter how hard they try: The specifications of a world where "it exists because it exists"
Why the choice to "keep preparing" is not structurally wrong.
To those who feel like nothing happens no matter how hard they try:
The specifications of a world where "it exists because it exists"
Why self-improvement doesn't work: The "Bread Factory Theory" where life is determined by the "process"
I've been talking about building a forest, but
here, I'd like to set aside the perspective of
not "how to change the finished product" but "what kind of process it has gone through"
for a moment.
🧭 Why do you need to "build a forest"? The structure of a national scale

That is not a failure, but perhaps a sign that you are a "person on the side of building a forest."

🌱 Reclaiming your own decision-making criteria from feelings that have yet to become words 🌱
I conduct one-on-one co-creation sessions where we observe the hesitation, discomfort, and wavering currently happening within you, not as “emotions,” but as a “structure.”
It is okay if you cannot speak well.
It is okay if things are not organized.
Please bring your current state just as it is.
▶ What is the quiet structural change that happens in this space?
* It is fine to remain in a state of hesitation.
