Yesterday I hosted Keisuke Oshima's seminar in Osaka!

Full throttle.

Really, Oshima-san's seminar is like a "purification (oharai)."

Refreshing.

Crystal clear.

The brain gets cleared.

I truly feel — there are no limits!

It was a wonderful time

a miraculous time

energy filled the room

energy circulated

love overflowed

gratitude overflowed

it made me want to try

and to make a start.

Thank you!

_______________________________

Keisuke Oshima's method

is not mere inspirational talk,

but combines a "neuroscientific setting change (reset)" and

"habitualizing action," built as a system.

↓↓↓

Unleashing latent potential

↓↓↓

overwhelming results

everyone's dreams come true

studying the mind

I've been studying the heart!

studying the brain

↓↓↓

Latent potential

What result do you anticipate so much it could give you a nosebleed?

When it comes true, who will you thank?

More than the "how,"

with what heart do you do it?!

↓↓↓

Gratitude work and writing a future diary matters.

Someday I want to start a "school for making dreams come true"!

Many people put a lid on their own potential.

There's no one without potential.

They just haven't noticed it.

1. The power to believe

Conviction

a "good misunderstanding" matters!

Environment and habit matter.

In baseball,

the coach believing "you can do it!"

The power of gratitude

The power of excitement

Play matters

Play is high vibration

Play is

offering dance and song to the gods

Play was a time when, away from daily roles, gods and people mingled through song and dance.

Bring play into your work!

WAKU

Because you feel WAKUWAKU (excited), you succeed

It's not that you get excited because you succeeded

Good spirits matter

Don't get too serious

"Serious (majime)" is damp and gloomy (jimejime)~

_______________________________

1. The art of controlling the supercomputer called the "brain"

Humans have a brain equivalent to 100+ (?) computers, but your life is decided by the settings of the subconscious that makes up most of it (99%).

↓↓↓

* Harnessing the power of misunderstanding:

* The brain can't tell "reality" from "something strongly imagined."

* Take the successful future in advance and deliberately install the good "misunderstanding" — "I can do it," "my dream comes true" — into your brain.

* Eliminating "have to":

* A sense of obligation (fear/anxiety) markedly lowers the brain's performance.

* By switching the brain to a "state of absorption" — "I can't wait to do it (excitement)" — your true latent ability is released.

2. "Rewriting reality": mental engineering

Concrete works (systems) for reflecting theory into reality.

* Future interview (blessing in advance):

* Play "yourself giving the best result report on New Year's Eve 2026."

What situation would make it a New Year's Eve so exciting your nose bleeds?

* By "celebrating in advance (yoshuku)" the future result rather than the past, you fix the brain into success mode.

* Writing out gratitude (circulating energy):

* Put gratitude to parents and those close to you into concrete words.

* When the altruistic "for someone else" switch turns on, humans exert power beyond their limits. Making this a regular habit (letters/memos) builds a mental foundation that won't lose to adversity.

3. The "vibration-shift" technique that turns a pinch into a chance

A "hidden trick" to rapidly boost the brain's performance when cornered by adversity.

* The logic of Ama-no-Iwato (the heavenly rock cave):

* What breaks a serious pinch = darkness (hiding in the rock cave) is the extraordinary energy of "laughter, dance, festival" rather than a logical solution.

* Getting ahead with words:

* At the moment of a pinch, say aloud, "This is getting interesting!" "A chance to make a legend!"

* The brain responds to words. By redefining a pinch as "the most interesting situation," your fighting stance (vibration) changes, and the result (like a come-from-behind win) catches up.

4. "Organizational strategy" to optimize team and environment

To make an individual's mind the strongest, an "environment" that allows and reinforces it is essential.

* Multiplying "shining adults":

* Adults talking about their dreams and showing a shining figure is the greatest education for children.

* The power of trust:

* A coach or leader "believes 100%" in the potential of players (subordinates).

* By continuing to say "you will grow," the person realizes they had put a lid on their own potential, and self-trust revives.

* The importance of environment:

* Place yourself in a community premised on "everyone makes their dreams come true." An environment that celebrates and supports those around you accelerates sustained individual growth.

5. Summary: the dynamics of success

This talk's claim: by repeating the following cycle "every day, every moment," miraculous results (like reaching Koshien or overcoming an intractable illness) can be reproduced.

* Set it with excitement (future diary / verbalizing dreams)

* Circulate it with gratitude (acting for someone / conveying thanks)

* Enjoy the pinch (change the vibration with laughter and dance)

* Fix it with environment (place yourself where friends' success is celebrated)

More than "what action you take," "with what vibration (mental state) you begin the action" decides the result — that is the core theory of this method.

From the Tokyo venue you can attend by Zoom!

From the Shibuya head office...

Imai-sensei joined too!!!

Everyone after their "purification"! (laughs)

Gratitude overflowing~~~

Feelings that won't stop turn into words, don't they.

Everyone's faces are omo — shiroi.

Interesting.

We too, are off to a dinner gathering!

Backlit! (laughs)

Thank you to the organizers!

Oh!

Ichinose-kun and President Ushiro!

The filming crew for the Tomabechi seminar!

"As my strategic partner, give the conclusion first, separate fact from inference, and keep it realistic. Don't affirm cheaply — show me counterarguments, alternatives, and even the next action." Just this greatly deepens the answers, the proposal power, and the usefulness, making everyday AI use even more comfortable.

Put it into "Custom Instructions."

On the Web/desktop version, go to your profile image at the bottom-left → Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions, turn on "Enable customization," and enter it. Once set, it applies to all conversations, including existing chats.

It brought back vibes like The Little Prince.

Yamato-san's session, thank you!

I tried turning it into a drawing!

In Shibuya too (laughs)

And in Ise-Shima.

All the way to Nagareyama, everyone, come!

Community building that begins with contribution!

Check out Takumi’s NEW English Youtube channel

https://www.youtube.com/@takuway

↓↓↓ I've put together a summary of the other day's seminar! ↓↓↓

Thank you for joining!

Believe it or not, the Zoom attendance hit "1K."

Being part of a session with over a thousand people gave me chills!

The passion came through,

and it really moved me. — Takumi Yamazaki

↓↓↓

Product doesn't come first — contribution does.

The 6 steps by which community grows out of trust

"How do I grow my circle of people?"

"How can I share a product in a way that feels natural?"

When we think about these questions, we tend to start from "how to say it" or "how to invite people."

But that isn't where it really begins.

What comes first is everyday contribution.

Talking with this person leaves me energized.

I always learn something useful from this person.

When I'm in trouble, this is the person I want to turn to.

When small moments of trust like these accumulate, people begin to gather.

And when those people start sharing what they've learned and putting each other's strengths to use, a community is born.

The product comes after that.

You tell someone who needs it, "Here's another option you might consider," about something you yourself used and were glad you did.

In this order, it never turns into a forced sales pitch.

1. Know your own strengths

The first thing to find is not a product to sell, but what you can offer to others.

The things people often come to you for advice about.

The things you do naturally, even when no one asks.

The things that are easy for you but hard for those around you.

The things that, when you teach them, make people happy.

That is where your unique ability lies.

For example:

Listening and helping to organize someone's thoughts.

Encouraging people.

Explaining health topics in an easy-to-understand way.

Teaching cooking.

Giving beauty advice.

Connecting people to one another.

Brightening up a room.

Every one of these is a fine "function you provide to others."

"Who am I able to offer something to, and what is it?"

It all starts with finding the answer to that question.

2. Contribute in small ways

Once your strengths start to come into focus, put them to use in small ways in daily life.

Give advice.

Send along useful information.

Share what you've learned.

Help someone who's struggling.

Notice the good in people and tell them about it.

You don't need to create some grand project.

Just pass a little value to one person a day.

Keep it up, and you'll gradually come to understand what kind of contribution from you makes people happy.

What matters here is not to seek a return right away.

Not "I did this, so please buy from me," but simply being useful first.

Trust is born from this kind of accumulation.

3. Turn your learning into a form others can use

Take what you've learned and what has worked for you, and shape it into something others can use too.

For example:

Turn the things people consult you about into a question sheet.

Condense health information onto a single page.

Make materials for beginners.

Hold a small study group.

Build it into a habit you can keep up every day.

The goal isn't to talk about a lot of knowledge.

It's to shape things so the other person thinks, "This is something even I could do," and can actually take a step forward.

Once you can do that, your contribution stops being a one-time thing and becomes something you can deliver to many people.

4. Create a small space

Next, create a small space of about 3 to 10 people.

A gathering to learn about health.

A gathering to put the lessons of a book into practice.

A gathering to discover your strengths.

A gathering to enjoy beauty or cooking.

A gathering to talk about dreams and goals.

You don't have to gather a large crowd from the start.

Precisely because it's a small group, you can listen to each person.

And don't make that space only "a place where the host teaches."

Have the participants bring their own experiences and strengths too.

That way, it changes from a gathering where people merely receive information into a community where people contribute to one another.

5. Hand over roles

Once the community starts moving, don't carry everything on your own.

Someone good at emceeing.

Someone good at welcoming first-timers.

Someone good at posting on social media.

Someone good at summarizing the learning.

Find each person's strength and hand them a role.

Don't just ask, "Please do this."

Tell them, "This part of what you do is helping everyone."

When people realize their strength is useful to someone, they change from participants in the community into contributors.

You turn it into a place that runs not on the host's power alone, but on each person's strengths.

6. Share only with those who need it

After a relationship of trust is in place, you tell people about a product you used and were glad you did.

It's not "Please buy this."

"For that concern, this is what I use."

"Here's another option you might consider."

That's the way to say it.

First, listen to the other person.

Share your own experience.

Explain what the product can do.

Tell them the price and how to use it.

In the end, let the other person choose.

Treat those who don't buy, and those who don't become members, with exactly the same care.

Don't make joining the community and buying the product a trade-off.

It's this attitude that makes referrals feel natural.

Among the people who used the product and were happy with it, some will appear who think, "I want to tell someone about this too."

That person, in turn, finds their own strength and begins to contribute in small ways.

And so the next contributor grows.

The only 4 things to do each day

Pass value to one person a day.
Find one person's strength and tell them about it.
Share one thing you've learned.

Tell only those who need it about something you think is good.

Keep this flow going, and a cycle is born:

Contribution
↓
Trust
↓
Community
↓
Referral
↓
Companions

You don't have to start by gathering people.

First, ask what you can give to the one person in front of you.

Product doesn't come first — contribution does.

Open Chat: "Takumi Yamazaki Daily Report"

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSXDjVm4p/

↓↓↓ I've summarized and adapted it to be easy to take in!

From the Showa era to the Reiwa era: a textbook called "the essence of business" that never wavers in a lifetime

No matter how much the times change,

the "truth" at the foundation of business never changes.

From the turbulent Showa era to today in Reiwa,

I have carried on in business without ever once losing my way, simply by keeping this principle in my heart.

This time, so that you may keep shining in any environment

and be loved by your customers for a long time to come, 

I'll carefully share "7 iron rules."

Please settle your mind and read on.

1. Don't sell the product — deliver the "ideal future"

What the customer truly wants is not the object itself that stays in their hands. It's the "hope" of how their own life will change because that object exists, and what wonderful future awaits them. Earn their trust in you as a person, and escort them toward the future beyond. That is the first step of business.

2. Don't fight on low prices — raise your own value

Lowering your price also exposes a lack of confidence in yourself and in the service you provide.

What matters is polishing your own one-of-a-kind appeal and added value.

Nurture yourself carefully so you can present a fair value with confidence.

3. Don't try to persuade — help the other person "understand and agree"

Rather than forcing someone to buy, sense what they wish for deep in their heart. Aim for a proposal that makes the other person genuinely feel, "I see — this is what I needed right now." Deep understanding and empathy build the bridge called trust.

4. Don't try to sell to everyone — cherish your true "fans"

Try to be liked by everyone, and your message reaches no one's heart. Cherish the fans who tell you, "I love the way you think," "I love your service." Empathize, move emotions, and nurture bonds. That becomes your greatest asset.

5. Let go of the wish to sell — stand beside the other person

The ulterior motive of "I want them to buy" mysteriously gets through to the other person. Rather than rushing to sell, talk with them about what troubles them and what they seek, and listen. That sincere, no-strings-attached attitude ends up forming the very best connection with your customer.

6. Don't study trends — study the unchanging "human heart"

Trends pass in the blink of an eye. But "human psychology" — what moves people, what delights them, how they decide — never changes in any era. Continuing to study the universal workings of the heart, rather than fleeting know-how, becomes a stable foundation unswayed by the times.

7. The "sales" of facing people is what opens up a life

The reason I can stay unwavering in business is that I've met so many people directly and, through those conversations, kept experiencing "how to truly connect heart to heart." It may seem unglamorous, but within the process of facing people and connecting hearts is where all the answers are packed.

To everyone

Don't just put knowledge into your head — please, starting today, put it into practice on the stage called "the field." Meet people, face them sincerely, and speak to them in your own words. That accumulation is exactly what will make your life richer and more unshakable.

Today we had a great time talking about art!

Drawn to Shinto!

The other day's Shinto lecture.

It was a deep learning experience!

Thank you!

Wow—

two people I love are teaming up~~~

I learned a little more about Claude Co-work!

Fujimoto-san too, thank you!

Her head says one thing, but her soul says another.

And saying that, she chooses her soul — it blows me away!

Thank you to everyone taking care of me everywhere I go!

Really, thank you so much! I feel refreshed!

So much to learn~~~

The shoot was fun too!

Thank you!

I met Morinaka-san, from the same Matsusaka High School!

Thank you!
