Hello, this is President Yasui, running a company that primarily inspects high-pressure gas equipment as a solo entrepreneur.
It's freezing!!!
I feel like I’m going to freeze solid.
Working outdoors is tough this time of year, and it makes me long for spring.
Prices are going up everywhere.
I read a newspaper article saying that even with price increases, companies still struggle to keep up because their profitability is too low (perhaps due to poor sales?). If higher prices lead to lower sales and declining profits, further price increases seem inevitable.
Raising prices just to stay afloat—this practice is becoming common, making it important to carefully assess whether the price of something aligns with its actual value to avoid overpaying.
When you're steadily handling small jobs, you might not think much about them. But as you start taking on larger projects, those small jobs may start to seem insignificant.
If you look at revenue figures alone, it's easy to judge tasks as big or small based on their monetary value.
However, we must never forget that our business was built upon these so-called "small" tasks, which are, in reality, just as essential as ever.
What starts as a small connection can grow into something significant.
We need to remind ourselves of that.
If you were in the position of placing an order, would you entrust a major job to a company from the start—unless they were already a well-known enterprise?
More often than not, you'd start with a smaller task, testing the waters.
Even if a task has a low monetary value, if someone specifically wants you to handle it, that trust is invaluable and should be cherished.
As long as you're receiving fair compensation for your work and effort, that's enough.
Avoid being overly greedy, and you'll maintain long-term relationships with the world.
If a company is struggling to survive, leeching off its existing customers is not a sustainable strategy.
It's human nature to prioritize oneself.
However, from the customer's perspective, that attitude can be incredibly frustrating.
If things aren't going well, return to the basics:
What does work truly mean?
What unique value can you provide?
Today’s Quote:
"Small tasks matter. Big tasks matter. Always be grateful to the customers who choose to work with us."
