【10X Notes】Nagone-san × Takumi-san Dialogue Summary

— The Key to Breaking Through Your Current Limits―

“10x Goals” and “Who You Partner With”

■ Encounter and Impact

First encountered Nagone-san through YouTube. Deeply impressed after watching, then met him face-to-face at a networking event.
Returned from the U.S. and was exposed to the 10X mindset.

■ What is 10X?

“2x Goals” → Requires twice the effort, leading to exhaustion.
“10x Goals” → Requires a perspective beyond common sense. That’s why unique “signals” become visible!

Takumi interprets achievement as:
“Wit and willpower!”

⸻

■ Moment When Thinking Changes

2x: Trying to solve things through more action, effort, and volume.
10x: Thinking itself transforms, tuning into “something beyond action.”

Example of signals:
Nagone-san’s gene testing business:
→ Expanded from 5 million to 50 million.
→ Exclusive contract with a U.S. company = A result beyond conventional thinking!

■ The 4 Steps for 10X

Set a truly desired future.
Clarify your unique ability.
Focus less on “how” and more on “who” you do it with.
Build a team and systematize it.

⸻

■ What is Unique Ability?

What you love, what you’re good at, what helps others, and what generates income.
→ Leverage your talents and delegate the rest.

■ The Secret to Building a Team

Choose people who share your vision, not just based on ability!
Teams without aligned vision will collapse.
→ First, clarify your own vision!

⸻

■ Practical Example: Revising Workload Distribution

Aim for 100% of time spent in Zone C (things you love and excel at).
→ Work becomes lively and fulfilling!
→ Don’t force fixing weaknesses; turn them into opportunities to leverage others.

■ Takumi-san’s Strengths (Unique Ability)

Quality and quantity of ideas.
Ability to simplify complex information.
High output capacity.

⸻

■ Dan Sullivan’s “10X Time Strategy”

Focus days: Immerse in your unique ability.
Buffer days: Handle routines and prepare to delegate.
Free days: Completely step away and refresh.

Weekly rhythm:
Weekend = Free | Thu-Fri = Buffer | Mon-Wed = Focus

2 days focus
3 days buffer
2 days rest

■ The True KPI

Not progress itself, but whether everyone is fully engaged with the “biggest challenge”.
The entire organization attacks together!

■ Final Thoughts

10X is not a battle of effort quantity, but a challenge to fundamentally change your
perspective, thinking, and team structure.

And on top of that—

I was totally captivated by Machiko Kusui-san’s signature “Machiko style”!

The Kusui Shrine!
Everyone felt refreshed and cleansed—what a beautiful sense of clarity!

An unforgettable time with Shimada-san and Kitasato-san!
Thank you so much!

This exercise

—could it be amazing if done properly?!

Have you seen the film “The Promise That Can’t Be Erased” yet?
I actually appear in it too—as a clothing shop manager (yes, really!). 😄
But what I really want you to see isn’t me—it’s the film itself.

Today, during a meal, I was reminded of Professor Shoichi Watanabe.

I was once invited to give a “Switch On Your Motivation” seminar at an event organized by Yoshinao Sato-san, targeted at business leaders.

And just before I spoke, Professor Watanabe gave a talk.

He began with:
“To succeed as a business leader, you must first understand the Tokyo Trials.”

I was stunned—“Wait, a talk about war?”
But an hour later, I felt like…
I had truly become Japanese.

That’s exactly the feeling I want you to experience—
Please watch this film.

🎬 The Promise That Can’t Be Erased

A young man named Umi washes ashore in Okinawa with no memory of who he is.
He meets Masaya Nakahara, whose grandfather once served as a kamikaze mechanic.
Together, they journey to Tokyo in search of their roots—and to reclaim the pride and spirit of being Japanese.

Who is Umi really?
And what is the unerasable promise sleeping within the soul of Japan?

A miraculous, moving story.

And then,

I suddenly remembered “dot-jp”—it’s been a while.

Over 20 years ago,
this NPO took flight from my own living room.

Dot-jp: An NPO Connecting Youth and Politics

| NPO Dot-jp – Bridging the Gap Between Young People and Politics

With the aim of increasing youth voter turnout,
they organize social internships and policy contests.

And that little dot in ".JP"?
It represents the rising sun of Japan. 🇯🇵

We talked aboutYMO

I was so excited—realizing that even Japanese people can thrive on the world stage.
And yep… I had that classic techno haircut back then! 😄

I took something I summarized with ChatGPT,
turned it into a website using Gamma,
and then used Notebook LM to make it feel like a podcast

It was shockingly easy to create a radio-style experience!
Seriously amazing!

That’s the kind of feedback I received!

I’ll be using these tools to start releasing Yamazaki Takumi’s content too—stay tuned! 🚀🎙️

[Rice Farming] No Paddy Field Needed!?
A Rice Farmer’s Bold Challenge: Growing “Upland Rice” in Fields to Revitalize Abandoned Farmland

Fukui – NNN Selection

CHAT GPTSummary

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZShuGxBnJ/

[Stage 1] Background and Motivation
*Masanobu Fukuoka was working as a plant quarantine inspector at customs when he collapsed from pneumonia due to overwork, facing a near-death experience.
*This trauma shattered his previous sense of “security” and “trust” in the world, awakening a deep, existential questioning of life and existence.
*One day, while sitting on a hill, he was struck by the flight of a lone crow—and in that moment, he experienced an awakening:
“There is nothing in this world.”
[Stage 2] Trial and Error in Natural Farming
*Fukuoka quit his job and retreated to the mountains, determined to prove through farming his belief that “humans don’t need to interfere with nature.”
*His first attempt—growing mandarin oranges—ended in failure.
Later, at an agricultural research center in Kochi Prefecture, he observed the natural growth of wild rice and became deeply inspired.
*Through years of experimentation, he developed the core principles of what he called Natural Farming: No tilling, no fertilizers, no pesticides, no weeding.

[Stage 3] The Method of Natural Farming

Sow wheat seeds before harvesting rice
After harvesting, lay the rice stalks directly over the field as mulch
Sow the next year’s rice seeds (with hulls) on top and let them overwinter
In May, harvest the wheat
Return the wheat straw to the soil
No fertilizers, no pesticides—just nature doing its work

→ Using this method, he achieved yields exceeding conventional scientific farming.

[Stage 4] A Deepening Philosophy

Fukuoka’s Natural Farming was not just an agricultural technique—it was a path to human fulfillment.
He rejected the Western, science-driven obsession with control, and embraced the Eastern philosophy of “wu wei” (non-doing or effortless action).
He proposed a radical idea:
“Doing nothing is the highest form of action.”

True happiness, he said, is not found in gaining something, but in simply being alive.

[Stage 5] Final Conclusions and a Message for Humanity
*Natural Farming is not just a farming method—it is a philosophical and spiritual revolution.
*When humans begin life from a place of “non-doing,” a new vision of happiness and the future becomes possible.
*Rather than blindly worshiping science, we must learn to ask,
“What if we didn’t need to do that in the first place?”
*Living in harmony with nature is the true evolution of humanity.
