A price starts with a ‘declaration,’ is maintained by people giving credit to it, and fluctuates with the laws of supply and demand. The starting point of the price is not determined by people’s recognition, but by my own insistence. In other words, if you cannot assert yourself, you cannot start a business, and even if you sell your labor, you cannot receive a proper salary. Value formation is not a matter of good or bad abilities, but rather about being assertive. If you are not good at asserting your own price, even if you have excellent abilities and skills, then you have to live by the values set by others. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The term “pseudo-” means exquisitely similar, but the core differs. This small difference in the core has enormous consequences. When you see a pseudo-doctor, you lose your health or life. When you meet pseudo-religious leaders, you waste your life and ruin your future—this small difference in core changes in fate. So, when consulting, I emphasize the “essence of business” and “identity”. Entrepreneurs don't know the tragedy that occurred by ignoring the small core in peace due to similar reasons. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
