Hey there!
This is Oda, and in just three days, I'll finally be telling everyone in my special rescue unit that I'm resigning.
#I'm already nervous.
#My stomach hurts a little.
#Please give me a red ball.
Yesterday, I spent three days talking about all the hardcore stuff,
so today will just be like a regular diary entry.
It might not have much to do with preparing to start a business, but if there's anyone out there thinking about starting a business while raising three small children, this might be somewhat helpful.
Simply put,
I was more narrow-minded than I thought.
That's what happened.
I was looking after the kids all by myself,
and I had become incredibly depressed. When my wife came home and saw the room looking like it had been robbed, I wasn't particularly surprised.
I was just like, "Thanks!"
That's how it went.
Then came the mysterious report:
"Daddy didn't play with me at all!"
"Daddy was sleeping the whole time!!!"
That's what I was told.
It's out of the question to get angry at your kids,
but I simply got irritated.
#Pathetic.
#But it's true.
I sulked and went to take a hot shower.
#The plan to wash it all away with the heat.
And after about 10 minutes,
I thought, "Okay, I'll go back and say, 'Sorry for getting angry at you kids earlier.'"
But when I got back to the room, lo and behold.
The room was neatly tidied up.
I was like, "No way!" and said, "Thank you!" to my wife.
And she was like,
"Okay!"
"That was easy!"
That's how it went.
#Love.
Preparing to start a business is full of things not going well, and there are still many things I haven't been able to get to yet.
So I'm really, really anxious,
and it feels like 80% anxiety, 10% excitement, and 10% serious.
Especially when there's no time to solve problems, I get really impatient.
What I want to say today is,
When you're quitting your job to start a business!
I think it's 70,000% impossible without your family's support.
That's exactly why we should live our lives grateful to our families.
In a year, I'll repay my wife with something big! (^^)
