I started as a freelancer about a year ago and found myself juggling a lot of things, especially with kids to take care of. I was working six days a week, and it was quite a hectic lifestyle. But in the midst of it all, I wasn't sure how to improve my situation for the future, so I thought about seeking professional help to streamline things.

A.

I knew about Mr. Kurosu through Voicy.

I had a strong desire to leverage the expertise of a professional. As a side note, I had sought professional help for financial improvement in the past. While it was a significant investment, I managed to see returns on that, which gave me confidence. Instead of trying to figure it all out on my own amidst a busy schedule, I believed it was more valuable to get consulting from a professional. I work in a planning-related job, so I've experienced advising clients and helping them see things they might not have noticed themselves. That experience made me realize the importance of seeking expert advice.

A.

The cost was relatively high, and it surprised those around me. However, I thought that if it could potentially lead to the same increase in income, it would be worth it. I didn't have strong objections, and my strong desire to increase my income outweighed any concerns.

A.

I used to juggle four different jobs, but with Mr. Kurosu's guidance, I was able to prioritize and narrow it down to two. Eventually, I made the final decision to focus on just one. It was great to be able to organize things that I couldn't have done by myself.

A.

My income increased by 600,000 yen. Additionally, I chose not to change jobs this time. Instead, I decided to work with the current venture I'm involved with, alongside the CEO, to expand the business. I also had an open conversation with the CEO about future income and the desire to take it to new heights. Hearing that job change could potentially increase my income by 2-3 million yen gave me confidence.

A.

The more I invested in the venture, the more I saw changes and improvements. It became an exciting journey where I dedicated my time, much like a hobby. While this still did result in less time with my children, my stress level was lower because I was doing what I had chosen to do rather than feeling obligated.

A.

In my industry, there aren't many opportunities to receive advice about the current market objectively or about what income levels to aim for. Especially in my field, where income levels tend to be lower, I had never received advice on potentially increasing my income by 2-3 million yen. This experience boosted my confidence. Having one-on-one conversations about my situation is a rare opportunity, as consulting is not a deeply rooted cultural practice in Japan. I believe that services like this can make a significant difference.
