Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 205 Decision-Making

Nov

2

Decision-Making

I believe the most important criterion to determine a person’s ability to make it as a business owner is his/her ability to make decisions. Running a company requires you to make decisions. And there are very few situations in which you have a full understanding of everything involved before having to decide. Instead, you must decide without much information. Failure to do so will not only result in lost business opportunities, but also significant losses for your company. And I believe the better your decision, the better business owner you are.

But not every decision will produce the right result. It’s quite possible that the other option that you didn’t choose could have resulted in better results. In short, business owners need to choose the best path, based on the information they receive at the time and their experience. There’s also the choice of not deciding because you don’t know what to do. And not making a decision is also a decision in itself.

Let’s consider for a moment what happens if you don’t decide. First off, if you don’t make a decision, you have a problem as a business owner. You’ll lose credibility and trust, both externally and internally, by not making a decision. That is a big problem. As a business owner, it’s also important not to leave decision-making to another person. No matter who makes the decision, the business owner is ultimately responsible.

There are some decisions that can be considered at length with sufficient preparation time, but there are also many cases where an immediate decision is necessary. In such cases, there is usually not enough information available. The only thing we can rely on is past cases and experience. Needless to say, the longer a company has been in business, the more experience the business owner has. I believe that this is a sign of trust in the company. There are times when difficult decisions must be made, but if decisions are made responsibly, I believe that I have fulfilled my responsibility as a business owner regardless of the outcome.

People love to listen to the success stories.

Oct

28

People love to talk and listen to success stories.
But think about it, you learn from your mistakes.
So, why don't people talk about their mistakes.
Because they do not want you to know what you learned from their mistakes.

Ikebana @ New Otani Hotel

Oct

27

This is one of the most gorgeous Ikebana in Japan.
You can see this at New Otani Hotel in Tokyo entrance.

Ikebana - WiKi
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It is also known as kadō. The tradition dates back to Heian period, when floral offerings were made at altars. Later, flower arrangements were instead used to adorn the tokonoma of a traditional Japanese home.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 204 When you want to start something

Oct

26

When you want to start something

I think many people have trouble starting something they want to do right away. When they want to do something, they immediately start thinking about why they can't do it. And the more you think about it, the more you fall into the trap of thinking you won't or can't do it. When I start thinking about creating a new product or business, there are three things I do:

1. Research the competition
2. Consider the cost.
3. Ask others (including experts) for their opinion.

Research the competition

It's important to know what competition exists out there. But solely thinking about how you won’t be able to offer the same features or sell them for as low as other companies is a negative thought. You need to think about how you can make something better or more distinctive compared to others, instead of thinking you can’t do it because someone else already is. There’s a market for similar products and services because perhaps the ones on the market aren’t addressing or aren’t able to address a common customer frustration. Therefore, we shouldn’t think we can’t do something just because there are similar products and services out there. Rather, we can see that there’s a market for it because it already exists. No matter how great a company is, it will never have 100% of the market share.

Consider the cost.

You can’t spend money you don’t have. But instead of giving up because you can’t afford it, do the best you can with the money you have and seek investment and financing later. If you don’t take any risks and completely rely on outside capital, you won’t be able to attract capital or loans. Think about what you can do to help.

Ask for other people's opinions.

Even when you ask for other people’s opinions, it’s still your project. Outside experts won’t have the same motivations as you. So, be careful of people who both praise and disagree with you. Because they could steal your ideas. The same goes for family members. I know many people who have been betrayed by family members. When asking for an outsider’s opinion, ask them about the intention behind those details, rather than the idea itself or the project as a whole.

Whether you do what you set out to do is up to you. What you need is action and determination. I’ve often failed by trying to do it half-heartedly. Even so, I’m glad I did it rather than not doing it. After all, isn’t it better to do it and learn along the way rather than regret what you never tried?
