🧭 Stage 1: The Courage to Take Risks is the First Step Toward Success

  • Core message: “Everything involves risk — but without taking any, success will never come.”

  • The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t lies in how many risks they’re willing to take.

  • Eliminating risk entirely is ideal — but unrealistic.

  • Growth = taking the right risks you’re capable of handling.

  • Even after failure, those who don’t dwell on it and keep stepping up to the plate are the ones who ultimately win.


💰Stage 2: Risk Management and Financial Intuition

  • Example: With 1 billion yen in capital, even if 300 million goes to taxes, think, “I’ll earn it back within six months,” and go all-in.

  • Then, apply leverage (borrowing) to maximize opportunities.

  • In other words, risk isn’t something to avoid — it’s something to analyze and bet on.

  • However, always distinguish between “risks worth taking” and “risks to avoid.”


🧩 Stage 3: Learning from Abroad and the Power of Combination

  • In Dubai, concepts like Bvlgari Residences and Aston Martin Residences show how cross-industry fusion is driving innovation.

  • The key is breaking free from fixed brand concepts.

  • This mindset is now being applied in Japan’s hotel and residence business.

  • The essence of business lies not in 0→1 creation, but in 1→10 combination — the “cocktail approach.”
    • Examples: Japanese × WesternTechno × Bossa NovaSushi bar × Wine glass.


🧠 Stage 4: Discovering Problems Through Experience--and Turning Them into AI Innovation 

  • “Wherever you feel inconvenience, a business opportunity lies.”

    • Example: In Sweden, no hairdryer, no English — frustration sparked an idea.

  • From that experience came the creation of a multilingual AI chat app for hotels.

    • By blending translation and AI, communication became seamless.

    • Because existing AI translators felt unnatural, a new system was built from scratch — now implemented in real hotels.

  • Experience is the best textbook. What matters isn’t just watching YouTube — it’s feeling things firsthand.


🏗️ Stage 5: Organization, Delegation, and the Philosophy of Team Growth

  • The No.1 struggle among solo entrepreneurs: “I can’t build a team.”

  • Root cause: Inability to delegate — fear of failure, lack of trust.

  • Solutions:

    • Clarify decision lines — e.g., “Small mistakes are fine, big calls are mine.”

    • Introduce an incident reporting system to turn failures into learning.

    • Scold occasionally to maintain tension, but stay calm day-to-day.

    • How you get angry matters — too harsh, and people stop challenging themselves.

    • Build a culture that laughs off failure and keeps moving forward.


🌍Final Takeaway: The Irie Formula for Growth and Success 

  1. Courage to take risks without fear

  2. Leverage of money, time, and action

  3. Fusion thinking across industries and cultures (the “cocktail mindset”)

  4. Turning real-life inconvenience into innovation (like AI solutions)

  5. Empowering others through delegation and embracing mistakes together
