■ The courage to surpass your own brand
□■━━━━━
┌1）Historically unprecedented hit work that was rejected 13 times
└──────
"Too long for children"
The manuscript she had worked
long and hard on was returned
with just one sentence.
This is common among new writers.
and continued pitching to publishers.
At the 13th company.
Finally, there was a little twist of fate.
The chairman of that company
had his granddaughter read it
as a trial.
His granddaughter eagerly read that story
that was "too long" until the very end.
A year later, that manuscript she brought in
became a book.
The name of that publishing company was called
Bloomsberry.
And the name of that new writer was
J.K. Rowling.
This was the moment that birthed
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"
which had 450 million copies published world wide.
But the interesting part starts from here
┌2）The true identity of this mysterious new writer
└──────
10 years later.
Another writing was once again brought to the publishers.
It was a suspense novel called "The Cuckoos Calling"
The author was Robert Galbraith.
A unknown new male writer.
The reaction of the publisher was a harsh one.
"It's boring"
"It's too common"
Robert Galbraith was actually J.K. Rowling's pen name.
After it was published, it was announced that this was her pen name,
and this book became an instant best seller.
Why did she use a pen name
to hide her identity?
That is because she wanted it to be evaluated purely by the book itself.
She said afterwards
"I wanted to keep it a secret for longer."
"Being Robert was a very freeing experience."
I strongly resonate with this attitude.
┌3）The courage to surpass your own brand
└──────
"Branding yourself"
This is what many people are wanting now.
It's true that once you have a brand,
in business, it is overwhelmingly advantageous.
By just that virtue alone, customers will purchase your service.
However conversely,
that brand could also cause you to lose your freedom
and bind you.
At such a time,
it's important whether you have the courage to
intentionally trying something new
and try your true strength.
This is far more difficult
than when you are fearless,
nameless and have nothing to lose.
I myself have always tried to challenge myself with something new
from when I was "Reiki Mochizuki" and made the switch to "Treasure Map Mochizuki"
I made it a rule for myself to host at least one new seminar a year.
Why don't you also challenge yourself with something new.
Thank you for reading.
