It's gradually getting hotter. The rainy season has also been announced in Kyushu, and it seems that preparations for summer have finally begun in earnest.
Now, this time, it's an answer to those who are troubled by "I don't know what I want to do, but I want to start a business."
Some people might make a disgusted face and ask, "Start a business when you don't even know what you want to do?" However, we believe that the desire to start a business, even without a clear motive, is what's important first and foremost.
It's okay not to know what you want to do. You'll find it as you study and experience various things. Anyway, even if you start by saying "I want to do this kind of business," the services you offer will gradually change.
However, there's one thing you should decide from the beginning.
That is, your vision.
A vision could be called your guiding principle for action, or even your way of life itself. In fact, by simply deciding on just one vision, it becomes easier to determine what you should achieve in your future business. It also makes it easier to arrive at new and innovative ideas.
Vision is the first step in deriving the specific content of your business.
For example, "Solving social problems through business." This is a vision with a very broad perspective and lacks specificity. However, do you notice that it serves as a guideline for building your business in the future?
Society has a great many problems. Declining birthrate and aging population, labor shortages, children on waiting lists for daycare, environmental pollution, and countless others if you start listing them.
To solve these problems, what kind of business should be developed from a business perspective? You'll have a guideline for thinking. Even if you don't know what kind of business to do, by naturally and rationally deriving solutions, you'll find content like "Let's do this kind of business!"
Let's try with a more general vision.
For example, "Creating an exciting world." At first glance, this vision also lacks specificity and seems unclear what to do. However, let's think about it seriously for a moment: "What is an exciting world?" And "What should be done to create an exciting world?"
For example, if you believe that an exciting world needs people who create exciting things, you might end up in the education business. If you believe that the world needs more and more fun things like this, you might end up in the event business or entertainment business. If you delve into the excitement within yourself, you will surely find a business.
In other words, instead of specifically deciding what to do, first decide on one vision, and then think about businesses that can realize that vision.
Successful people have a vision that appeals to the heart. They have a desire to realize such a world.
It's the same for individuals. If you have a guideline within yourself like "I want to live this kind of life," and you decide what to do and what to achieve according to that guideline, it's easier to take the next concrete step. Later, the very desire "I want to live this kind of life" often becomes the company's vision.
I don't know what to do. I don't know which direction to go. In such cases, first, let's think about what kind of life you want to live. And let's think about what you want to achieve in your life. Surely, the answer you find there will become your vision and the core for creating your business.
By the way, the way of life I personally want to achieve is 'to live freely' and 'to create a world where people can live even more freely.' My desire to live freely expanded and led to the action of trying to create an 'environment.' I thought it wouldn't be interesting to be free alone. You never know what will connect to your vision.
If you want to start a business but don't know what to do next, why not take some time to think about your vision and the way of life you want to achieve?
