Hello, this is President Yasui. I run a solo business primarily focused on inspecting high-pressure gas equipment.
Due to concentrated road construction on the Isewangan Expressway and the Tomeihan Expressway, the inbound lanes from the Mie area are congested. In the evenings, it’s traffic jams no matter which way you go...
Since I’ll be working in the Mie area a bit longer, I plan to manage by staying overnight when necessary.
When I hear about the sales figures for a single construction job, I’m honestly amazed. Some projects bring in as much revenue in one go as my company earns in an entire month. Even factoring in their material costs, the difference in scale can feel a little disheartening. (laughs)
Over the past few years, I haven’t been able to break through a kind of revenue ceiling. I’m beginning to feel the limitations of running a one-person operation. If I go out to work, I earn revenue — if I don’t, it’s zero. That’s the basic equation, which means I’m maxed out at 365 days a year.
Obviously, that’s not realistic, so it’s impossible to maintain.
Since hitting this wall, I’ve been trying to increase subcontracted work. But I haven’t seen much growth in that area either.
Maybe it's time to admit that breaking out of the current situation will be difficult without a fundamental change — not just a continuation of what I’m already doing.
Historically and statistically, any major leap has always come from some kind of significant change.
But the wall I’m facing now feels much higher than the ones before, and it’s becoming clear that I need to change my mindset. Still, I’m struggling to break out of my comfort zone.
Should I pursue a big transformation, or continue on the same path?
If I want to change, I have no choice but to start changing.
See you next time!
