I was glad yesterday.

I have been asked and giving advice to many people who want to start business. From 13PM to 21PM, many visitors came yesterday.

When I am asked by someone who think that he/she is trying to set up business seriously, I start to think together how to do and how to make it come true.

A week ago, I gave homework to one of entrepreneurs.

He is trying to start IT support business. If he only use his knouledge at that time, the limit would suddenly come. The same is true of me. Even if one promote on a large scale, customer couldn't come.

So I gave him "100 homework".

I said "Search and seek 100 tips about IT service." To do this homework, he cannot do only his output. It includes my message that continuous input is very important.

Of course I don't say like this if I am afraid that one think "It is stupid, boring, and useless!." I give a homework only to someone who seems to try and action if I say.

Then I was surprised to his quick action. He submitted his homework only a week.

Looking pver 100 tips, I was slitely moved.

I talked about my examples or results of his 100 tips in order, in honor of his performance. I have tried 60-70 of tips. Some words I don't know so I asked him to teach me.

He trusts me. He thought my homework is somehow useful on his setup business. Then he took a quick action. It is my glad!

The number "100" is good because of it expresses the thing that is not halfdone.

It is important that he seeks by CS viewpoint and he would start to seek.

The work is troublesome or difficult. But after he got over it, the resistance against some difficulty will decrease a little from next time.

If it changes 2 columns, rivals hesitate an entry the business. I sometimes tell.

For example, the website of company ordinary number of pages are 20-30. To change 2 columns, if one has 1,000 pages, it is not so easy to follow. It means "an entry barrier." (Of course meaningless pages which have only useless charactors are said to be "meaningless.") To make 1,000 pages requires a long preparation, knowledge input and information input. So it is valuable.

(I realized it by myself.)

I reccomend this "100 homework" if want to start a new business or improve management. It extends your view widely.
