Starting a business at 55 doubled my income! I will continue to challenge myself aiming for a "lifetime active" life【Happy Science Faith Experience】

I joined Happy Science when I was 37. Thanks to learning the teachings, I have overcome life's troubles and work issues, and have walked a happy life.
As I approached retirement at 55, I wanted to practice the "lifetime active life" taught by President Ryuho Okawa open_in_new, so I started studying real estate rental and finally started my own business.

Discovered the key to success at a management book study group

However, at first, I struggled as I couldn't fill the rooms.

At such times, it was indeed President Okawa's teachings that showed me the way to solve problems.

I participate every month in the training of President Okawa's management books held at Chubu Seishinkan open_in_new of Happy Science. When I read the teaching in "Introduction to CEO Studies" open_in_new that says, "We must create an ideal and management philosophy of 'What is our company for?'", I was able to deeply reflect on my management.

(I had been aiming for "full occupancy management" until now, but that was only for my own convenience...)

I realized that I had not been able to stand in the customer's position and reflected on it. I then added to my management philosophy the idea of providing a "relaxing and peaceful living space" to satisfy customers and bring joy to the related businesses.

Instead of only thinking about our own profits, I started visiting business partners with the thought of developing together with other companies such as real estate and management companies. Gradually, I was able to build good relationships, leading to new customer introductions and smoother work progress.

Work became a trigger for rejuvenation

Sometimes I receive hints for success from my fellow practitioners (※) participating in the training together. While talking with the owner of an esthetic salon, I realized that a sense of "beauty" is also necessary in housing.

So, together with my wife who helps with the work, we started to visit various apartments and learn about the latest room designs, becoming more conscious of "beauty" in room creation than ever before. As I made efforts to refine my sense, my feelings rejuvenated and I became more energetic.

As I worked on various improvements, the number of tenants and properties increased, and all eight buildings I own became almost fully occupied. Before I knew it, my income had doubled.

This is all thanks to President Okawa's teachings. In the future, I will further expand my business and grow into a company that can contribute to society.
