Just found a list of tips given by Göran Edman.
- Accept, enjoy, and respect our differences.
- Don’t believe the “impossible in Japan” message. Everything is possible, but it may take some time.
- Understand that risk minimization is an important part of all decisions
- Understand that there is volume in niches, and that there are enough for you to go around. Find and focus on your niche.
- To succeed one must enjoy. Take notes of all the different situations you encounter.
- Learn to love big cities like Tokyo. To know the city, you might have to go there a couple of times
- Take a ride on the Yamanote Line. Observe how people change depending of where you are.
- Do something that the Japanese themselves do.
- Ask, ask, and ask again. Everybody wants to answer, and everybody wants to give advises. Ask the same questions to many people and sooner or later you’ll get a more or less correct answer.
- Be provocative and be positive, by doing this you can shorten the road to success that means everything, and nothing.
- Listen, listen, and listen again. There are many messages, tips, and advises from your surroundings.
- Leave the bonucular at home, but pack a magnifying glass. Everything is in the details.
