Hello, are you doing business?
This site repeatedly provides information about starting a business and having multiple jobs, but there are not many people who actually think about doing so, right?
You should first look into what kinds of businesses are out there and then think about it. It would be a waste not to do that.
I'm so busy thinking about how to make money every day that I don't have time to do my research.
This time, what I say alone won't be very convincing, so I used PerPlexity to research the reasons why entrepreneurship in Japan is not progressing.
I would like you to look into the number of Japanese entrepreneurs. Also, the trends.

The number of new businesses in Japan has been declining in recent years. Between 2014 and 2016, there were 263,531 new businesses, a startup rate of 3.6% .1 This is down from 436,037 new businesses (a startup rate of 4.6%) in 2012-2014.1
When looking at the types of start-ups, we see the following trends:
Companies: 104,388 companies from 2014 to 2016
Private companies: 159,143 companies1 during the same period
Both types of businesses are declining, but the rate of decline is faster for companies. This suggests that there is an increasing trend for people to choose the sole proprietorship form over a corporation when starting a business.1
Looking at the trends in the number of people hoping to start a business, the number of people preparing to start a business, and the number of entrepreneurs:
The number of people hoping to start a business and those preparing to start a business has been declining significantly since 1997.
The number of entrepreneurs has also been declining slowly, to 306,000 in 2012.3
Interestingly, however, the percentage of entrepreneurs among those aspiring to start a business has been on the rise, rising from 13.1% in 1997 to 20.2% in 2012.3 This suggests that while the number of people aspiring to start a business is declining, the percentage of those who actually take the plunge is increasing.
The Japanese government has designated 2022 as the "first year of startup creation" and is working to build a startup ecosystem over a five-year period . This plan includes a 1 trillion yen budget and tax reforms, and is expected to improve the entrepreneurial environment going forward.2

Why is there such a low entrepreneurial mindset among Japanese people?

answer
The reasons for the low entrepreneurial spirit among Japanese people include the following:
Economic factors
Lack of knowledge and experience
Lack of business ideas: 34.6% of people said they couldn't come up with a business idea3 .
Lack of knowledge regarding business operations: 24.0% of people feel that they lack knowledge and know-how regarding finance, taxation, legal affairs, etc.3 .
Lack of industry knowledge: 22.2% of people cited a lack of knowledge or skills regarding products, goods or services.3
Social and cultural factors
Intolerance of failure: The biggest obstacle is the intolerance of failure that is inherent in traditional Japanese culture.4
Stability orientation: There is a strong desire for stable employment, such as working for a large company2 .
Social evaluation of entrepreneurship: Only 30% of Japanese people feel that their country is positive about entrepreneurship and do not consider it a society where entrepreneurship is valued.2

Perhaps the reason for the low number of startups in Japan is
Lack of funds
Lack of ideas
・No one to talk to
I think it can be summed up in these three points.
However, you don't have to make up for the lack of funds by using only your own funds.
The government provides some kind of subsidy every year, so if you take advantage of this, 2/3 of the funds will be provided.
Doesn't this alone make starting a business a lot easier?
And a lack of ideas.
You wouldn't know this unless you've been doing it for years.
When you're working for a company, it's not something that happens overnight when you can implement the business ideas that your boss designed, right?
The lack of motivation among Japanese company employees is also due to the lack of participation in this project.
In addition, I have a preconceived notion that managers are superior, so I can't say anything.
I can't run a business like this.
What you need to do is not to be subservient to management.
Of course, it is in the company's interest to do so, but I also plead for independence.
The word "side job" is all over the world, but it was never thought up by anyone.
If you want to do it yourself, there are plenty of options if you look hard enough.
Should I continue this or not?
That's all.
It seems like there is no one else to talk to, but we live in the age of social media now.
If you open SNS, you will find people who are posting brilliant information, so you should try contacting them.
It's ok to be rejected
Please continue to be rejected
You'll find someone you get along with among them
If that happens, you can communicate well and get the know-how.
Well, that's pretty easy isn't it?
But even though I say this, most people don't do it.
One of the characteristics of Japanese people is that they "don't do anything unless others do it"
However, when it comes to economic freedom, it's never too late to think about it if everyone crosses the red light together.
The rails that someone else laid out have no value
Whether it's a side job or multiple jobs, doing it yourself is valuable
Next time I would like to focus on how to do that sales.
