At my current site, I’m not working alone, so I’ve had many chances to talk with others.
Speaking with people always leads to discoveries—it’s really a great thing.
But that ends tomorrow. I hope I get to meet the current team again next year.
My company is a small one.
In the high-pressure gas inspection industry, most companies are small, usually with just a few employees.
Because we’re small, it doesn't mean everyone is necessarily top-tier talent.
Even so, sometimes people who've been through tough times in society shine in surprising ways.
What counts as "smart" in school and what makes someone a strong businessperson are totally different.
Small companies are easily thrown into crisis.
Unlike major corporations, our finances aren't made public, and often the workplace culture isn’t very transparent.
We don’t really know whether the company is making money or how much cash flow is available.
That’s exactly why we must establish proper systems and rules.
If we slack off, it doesn’t stop—"if that’s okay, then this must be okay too," or "we’re too busy and short-staffed to follow procedures."
People start doing whatever they want.
People who can’t manage themselves often escalate.
They’re soft on themselves, and the looseness keeps spreading.
Once you allow exceptions, that becomes the norm.
"It was okay before" becomes a common excuse.
Turning things around from there is extremely difficult—almost impossible.
Honestly, the world is full of people who only look out for themselves.
If a small company is filled with people like that, things get stagnant fast.
That’s why, because we’re small, we need proper rules.
Since there are few saints among us, we must build a system that encourages saint-like behavior through rules.
Even though I run a solo business, I’ve set strict rules for myself.
If I break them, I’m the one who suffers.
I’m not causing trouble for anyone else—but precisely because they’re easy to break, I need to commit to them.
People break promises to themselves too easily.
A sound company makes work easier for everyone.
That’s the best outcome—where people feel good working together.
I don’t want to see people dragging each other down or being miserable because of one person's behavior.
In a small company, shouldn't we support each other and build a better workplace together?
I truly dislike people who are hostile toward their own team.
Those clinging desperately to their position can’t view things from a higher perspective.
They judge everything based on whether it benefits them, not on the greater good.
Because we’re small, there are things we must cherish.
There are countless things we must protect.
Change always comes with pain.
The biggest stress for people is change.
When your environment shifts, your brain senses danger to your survival and instinctively resists.
But if change is truly necessary...
There will be trade-offs.
And because we’re small, we must continue evolving.
Today’s Quote:
“Because we’re a small company, never forget thoroughness.”
See you again!
