幸せに生きることが最高の復讐

明け方に目覚めてしまい何気なくTVを付けたところ、討論番組がやっており慶応SFC古市憲寿氏が出ていました。その時に「幸せに生きることが最高の復讐」という様な事を言ってました。気になり少し調べてみるとスペインの諺のようです。他人から嫌な思いをさせられる事もありますが恨み辛み悪態など毒づく事無く自分が幸せになる事に一生懸命になればいいのです。

悪態つく奴はどちらにせよ負け犬(Loser)なので関わらないに限る。

#Global Mission

・地球上で最も豊富な品揃え

・地球上で最もお客を大切にする企業

#Customer's rule 客が決めたルール

・低価格

・品揃え

・利便性

#Mechanism

(仕組み)Good intention doesn't work, only mechanism works.(『善意』は働かない。働くのは『仕組み』だ)

 cf) Amazonも当初トヨタから仕組みを学んだ。トヨタ4S「整理」「整頓」「清掃」「清潔」「なぜ掃除しているんだ? 掃除しなくても良い仕組みを整えなさい」

ロングテール戦略:売れ筋のメイン商品の売上よりも、あまり売れないニッチな商品群の売上合計が上回る現象。あまり売れていないけど検索されている品物を在庫として準備した。

 cf) 80-20の法則:構成要素を大きい順に並べた時、上位20%の要素で全体の80%程度を占めることが多いという経験則。

マーケットプレイス戦略:在庫管理、商品配送の代行。

#Think backward

Think forward(積み上げ式)でなくThink backward(逆算式:ゴールから考える)

世界の安全保障の動向が変化した。これまでのようなヘリ・戦闘機、軍艦、陸上部隊などの戦闘ではない。

ex1 )ウクライナ危機の時のロシアの戦術=サイバーテロ

・電磁波で電気機器使用不可。

・デモ隊に扮して親ロシア民兵発電所周辺に待機しこれを占拠し電力停止。

SNSやラジオでフェイクニュースを流し国民を混乱させ情報管理。

アメリカも危機感。

起業するのに必要な9要素

知り合いの起業家がネット上にアップした記事を転記します。

「金持ち父さん」でお馴染みのロバートキヨサキ氏のメッセージです。

起業するのに必要な9要素。9 Characteristics of an Entrepreneur

1. You don’t have thick skin.
肝が据わってない人。

Chances are you’ve been thinking about starting a business for awhile. You may have told a few close friends about your “crazy idea” but for the most part, you have chosen to keep this dream to yourself.

Eventually, however, you will need to let the world know. And not everyone is going to share your enthusiasm.

When Kim and I were developing our board game, CASHFLOW 101, later renamed to just CASHFLOW®, we would hold events for testing purposes. I still cringe at people’s response. “The game is terrible,” and “It takes too long,” and my personal favorite, “It’s too hard.”

Imagine if we had stopped at that first beta-test. That game has helped thousands of people increase their financial IQ by playing it.

And maybe that will be the situation you find yourself in.

You might have family and friends who support you every day with personal problems that will suddenly show you a different part of their personality when you discuss starting a business: fear.

Maybe they have tried to start a business and failed. Or possibly they live under the false sense of security a job provides and think climbing the corporate ladder is a guaranteed path to safety.

Either way, you will face criticism faster—and harsher—than you expect. How you handle it will make all the difference.

2. You don’t like being “connected.”
他の人とコネクトするのが嫌いな人。

If you think living the life of an introvert will allow you to become a successful entrepreneur, you may want to think again.

You’ll be living and breathing your new company every moment of the day while you try to educate everyone you come in contact with about your business.

24/7 takes on a whole new meaning when you open your doors. No longer are quick 5-minute breaks spent scrolling your Facebook or Instagram feeds looking at updates from your family. Now, the time spent on the very same social networks will be spent answering customer service complaints and trolling your competition looking for ways to improve your business.

Though you won’t need to be the life of the party, you will definitely need to get more comfortable in your own skin.

3. You need praise.
いつも誰かに褒められたい人。

企業家は、従業員を褒める立場です。 褒められたい人は向いてません。

There has been a disturbing trend in youth activities the last few years where all participants receive trophies. These awards are given to anyone who participates in the given activity like little league baseball or pee-wee football.

As adults, we know that’s not how life works. There are winners, and then there are losers.

Think about your average day at work. How many times a day do you hear, “That’s awesome!” or “Great job,” or “That’s soooo good?”

It seems everyone has been trained to give positive feedback almost as if on autopilot.

Unfortunately, you won’t receive this type of praise as an entrepreneur.

Similar to statement number 1 above, you need to keep all criticism in context. Some people will love your product, others won’t.

Regardless, if you have done your research and have built a business around solving a legitimate problem, eventually you’ll receive your just rewards.

4. You need external motivation.
外部の人からのモチベーションが必要な人。励まされないとダメな人。

Another characteristic of an entrepreneur is the ability to set your own tasks and accomplish them.

You won’t arrive at work with a set list of expectations you’re to accomplish by days end.

Whatever gets done (or doesn’t) is entirely up to you.

When I was in boot camp preparing for my brief career in the military, I received all the external motivation I could handle. From fellow recruits taking turns leading our troup through our daily training regime to the ever present drill sergeant, there was no shortage of people making sure I was doing what I should be doing, how I should be doing it and where I should be doing it.

You are your own drill sergeant when you become a business owner.

Do you have what it takes to give the orders and follow them?

5. You like to stay in your comfort zone.
自分の快適なゾーンから出たくない人。

One characteristic of an entrepreneur that is often overlooked is the ability to wear multiple hats.

Most people who dream about being an entrepreneur focus on the technical mastery they’re providing. They feel that a decade of writing or baking or carpentry experience is the proof they have what it takes to run a successful business.

That’s never the case. A successful entrepreneur needs to understand accounting, sales, legal protection, taxes, customer service, and a slew of other things to turn their technical mastery into business success.

6. You need to be right.
いつも正しくありたい人。
(起業家には答えは一つじゃない。)
We were taught in school that there is only one right answer. There is one side to history, one way to solve a math problem and one way to be successful in life. And when it is time to test your knowledge you either know the answers on the exam or you don’t. If you try to look elsewhere for the answer it's considered cheating.

But real life doesn’t work like that. In real life, “cheating” is called teamwork. If you don’t like to work as a team, you are often considered a “know-it-all” and no one wants to work with you.

To better explain this, I want to use a diagram my rich dad taught me called the CASHFLOW® Quadrant.
The four types of people and the different ways they make money.

The CASHFLOW Quadrant shows how the four types of people and the different ways they make money.

On the left side are the Es (employee) and Ss (small business owner). They value security above all else. There are similar characteristics between Es and Ss, namely they both get paid for their time.

On the right side of the diagram are the Bs (big business owner) and Is (investor). Unlike Es and Ss who make money in exchange for their time, people on this side of the quadrant make money through other people’s time and money. They create assets that generate passive income.

What does this have to do with being right?

Similar to the previous point about staying in your comfort zone, highly-paid Es and successful Ss always have to be right. They were probably the first person in school to raise their hand with the right answer, graduated with honors and sacrificed for the big promotion at work.

There’s nothing wrong with putting in the time to get things right, unless you’re an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneur’s don’t have the luxury of time. After all, time is money. If you’re spending time behind closed doors trying to get everything perfect before you launch tomorrow, you’re missing money making opportunities today.

7. You are looking for overnight success.
一夜で成功したい人。

Many people think I became a success overnight. One day I was a complete unknown and the next I’m on Oprah with a New York Times bestseller.

The truth is, it took almost a decade for me to reach that level of success.

First, there was my failed nylon and Velcro wallet business. After my rich dad showed my how my partners were robbing me, I had to close the business. This left me over $800,000 in debt.

It was for that reason that I knew the only way I was going to get out of such a financial hole was through entrepreneurship.

There was no way to pay back such a monumental amount of debt with a day job.

low and steady wins the race. There are no shortcuts.

8. You are a procrastinator.
いつもダラダラと遅らせている人。 

With almost $800,000 of debt, Kim and I knew we weren’t going to break free from our financial situation any time soon. So, we developed a plan. It required tremendous sacrifice but we knew we would eventually get there.

It all started with a dedication to increasing our financial education. First we worked to learn, then to earn.

We studied real estate investing and created our own businesses. No matter how bad things got and how much we wanted to quit, we didn’t.

We kept our eye on the prize and looked for any opportunity to learn a new skill that was going to help us become successful business owners.

The ability to take action is a vital characteristic of an entrepreneur.

9. You don’t like to sell.
売り込みが嫌いな人。

My rich dad would often tell me that learning how to sell is the most important characteristic of an entrepreneur.

After being an entrepreneur in multiple industries over the past three decades I have to agree.

If you can’t sell, you can’t be an entrepreneur.

After I returned from Vietnam, I had a choice to make. I could get a job in the shipping industry making very good money or take an entry-level sales job at Xerox.

My rich dad recommended that I take the job at Xerox. I took it and it didn’t take long for me to realize that I was not a natural born salesman. I spoke with my rich dad about my struggles and he suggested fail faster.

Rather than find another sales job at night, I remembered some other advice from my rich dad, namely that it’s easier to find work if you are willing to do it for free.

I found a charity that needed people to dial for dollars at night. So, I would leave my job at Xerox and put in a few hours cold calling people for donations. I was able to increase my failure rate from three to seven calls a day at Xerox to over 20 calls in a few hours at night.

Though my failure rate increased, ironically so did my success rate. The more calls I made, the better I became at handling objections. I had no choice but to adapt, and so will you.
Summary of What Characteristics Are Needed to be An Entrepreneur
If you feel those statements do not accurately portrait you, then you might have a chance of being a successful business owner someday.

If you found that many of those statements do apply to you, don’t give up on your dream to become an entrepreneur quite yet.

Perhaps you easily get your feelings hurt with criticism or feel like you are in need of constant praise or find you lack confidence in all areas of your life, begin to address those issues. I have found that if I’m weak in one area of my life it is often negatively affecting other areas as well.

If you have tremendous odds stacked against you, and you don’t have any other choice but to take matters into your own hands, you might be surprised to discover just how many characteristics of an entrepreneur you possess.

マイレージ

マイレージを金額に換算しました。一般的に下記のような感じですね。 

電子マネーなど  1マイル=1円

特典旅行     1マイル=2円

セゾンUAマイレージ・プラスの場合

1000円=15マイルなので100万円=15,000マイル(=約3万円の飛行機代?)

以前 日本ーワシントンDC(片道ビジネス)=150,000マイル 

感覚値で言うとおおよそ25万位か。

納税 ネットバンキング 

eTAX(WEB版)にて源泉所得税の納税を行いたいと数年前より検討するもいまいち方法わからず放置していましたが、納税証明書請求でeTAXを使用しかなりスムーズだったことから改めてチャレンジしてみました。

設定のためにソフトをダウンロードする必要がありましたが、用紙記入と同じ要領で作成し流れに沿っていくとあっさりと完成しました。

また今年からネットバンキングだけでなくクレジットカードも対応していました。手数料は0.8%前後でした。今回はネットバンキングにしましたが、今後はカードのポイント還元やマイレージなどを計算してクレジットカード決済も検討しても良さそうです。
