What you need:
-a vision (MUST)
-a community of like-minded people who you can work with and be inspired with (MUST). You need people like these to figure out how to achieve your vision.
From where I stand, you best bet seems to be to offer a product that incorporates what you are trying to do and charge huge amounts of money from it (huge amounts of money because corporations don't trust anything that is cheap)
- harisenbon 15y agoThanks for the solid advice. I'm confident in my vision (and that is one of the reasons I'm leaving my current job -- their lack of a vision and a dearth of leadership). The like-minded people... I have maybe 4 or 5 amazingly talented people in my community, a mix of ex-pats and Japanese who are just as fed up with the malaise of the current generation of Japanese as I am. Bringing a product to the table is something that I know is going to be key to bringing Japan into a data-centric mindset for Saas. However, there are so many wonderful solutions currently available in the west, that I feel that reinventing the wheel will simply drain time away from my consulting evangelism. Especially at first, I think that bringing a pre-made solution wrapped in a consulting service is a better use of my resources than re-creating mixpanel and crazy-egg for the Japanese market. Thanks again for the great advice. You've really given me a lot to think about.
