Acerca de esta escucha
Making It Big in Japan is your ultimate guide to living, working, and playing in Japan. The information you get about Japan from reading articles online in English only scratches the surface. Like an outdated textbook, the advice seems to be stuck in the 1980s without reflecting the real pace of change in Japan. There is a need for more clarity and explanations of information that is often only available in Japanese.
To fill this gap, I have interviewed the people who influenced me, served as role models, or offered valuable perspectives along my seven-year journey in Japan to share their knowledge to all those interested in living and working in Japan. I hope this audiobook will answer all the questions I had before landing in the country.
We’ll cover finding work beyond English teaching, setting up a business, learning the language, navigating complicated and frustrating visa processes, understanding the hierarchical culture of Japanese workplaces, mastering the do’s and don'ts of dating in Japan, scaling career progression, and much more.
In the audiobook, you’ll get answers to questions like:
- How do I get a visa?
- How do I get a job in Japan?
- What is the best way to learn Japanese?
- What non-English teaching jobs can I get?
- How do I transition out of English teaching to something else?
- What kind of career can I have as a foreigner in Japan?
- What are the best, foreigner-friendly companies to work for in Japan?
- How do I start my own business and is Japan entrepreneur-friendly?
- How can I be a freelancer or consultant?
- As a foreign woman, what do I have to watch out for?
- What is it like being the only Black employee in a Japanese company?
- What are the best networking techniques in Japan?
- Can I actually have a decent work-life balance?
- Do I seriously need to get a hanko?
- What’s the secret to making Japanese friends?
- How do I still have fun in Tokyo on a shoestring budget?
- Where are the best bars and clubs?
- What are the best tips for dating in Japan, especially when you don’t speak Japanese?
- What’s the best way to travel and discover Japan?
- What are the biggest secrets about doing business in Japan?
- What should I do if I get fired in Japan?
- Is full-time employment my best bet? What other contract types can I consider?
- What about raising kids in Japan?
- What happens if I get stopped by the police?
- How do I invest in Japanese real estate?
- How can I position myself to obtain a long-term visa and settle down?
And much more!
These burning questions, which are answered through over 30 in-depth interviews, shed a new light on what it's like to live and work in Japan. Many of the interviewees came here to teach English, while others took completely different routes—setting up their own companies, sales, marketing, translating, programming, manufacturing, service jobs, YouTubing, freelancing, or studying. Included are details about the series of events that led them here and the practical steps they took on their paths to success.

Sales is a skill anyone can learn and master - and introverts are especially good at it once they learn how to leverage their natural strengths. Introverts aren't comfortable with traditional tactics like aggressively pushing a product or talking over a customer's objections. That's the beauty of The Introvert's Edge: it doesn't focus on the sale itself but on a sales system that helps introverts feel sincere instead of sales-y.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year. Yet quietly, under the radar, a small number of companies have rejected the pressure of endless growth to focus on more satisfying business goals. Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives. In Small Giants, veteran journalist Bo Burlingham takes us deep inside 14 such remarkable companies.

The Reality: The biggest thing you won't learn in college is how to succeed professionally. Some of the smartest, most successful people in the country didn't finish college. None of them learned their most critical skills in an institution of higher education.

Historia
In 2004 Philip Delves Broughton abandoned a post as Paris bureau chief of the London Daily Telegraph to join 900 other would-be tycoons on the Harvard Business School's plush campus. With acute and often uproarious candor, he assesses the school's success at teaching the traits it extols as most important in business: leadership, decisiveness, ethical behavior, and work/life balance.

In Silicon Valley slang, a "bozo explosion" is what causes a lean, mean, fighting machine of a company to slide into mediocrity. As Guy Kawasaki puts it, "If the two most popular words in your company are partner and strategic, and partner has become a verb, and strategic is used to describe decisions and activities that don't make sense"...then it's time for a reality check.

It's an axiom of business that great companies grow their revenues and profits year after year.

Goals like being great at what they do, creating a great place to work, providing great customer service, making great contributions to their communities, and finding great ways to lead their lives.

No matter how motivated and energetic you are - even if you're the greatest salesperson on the planet! - as a network marketer with limited time, there's only so much money you can make without great people to help you sell your products. Recruiting is the life force of any network marketing, multilevel marketing, or party plan business; it lifts the ceiling off your income, the key that will allow you to keep checks rolling in above and beyond what you can do yourself.
