Storytelling: When the future is uncertain and making decisions becomes difficult, we should calmly gather our thoughts and craft our own story. Stories hold power—the power to neatly organize complex situations. We accept and understand even absurd stories with interest if they fit the art of storytelling. Storytelling reconstructs the situation and finds and fills in the missing meaning between events based on facts. As a result, we complete and accept a coherent narrative. We experience cognitive dissonance when a narrative isn’t interpreted due to an incomprehensible situation, meaning the gap between events isn’t understood. This cognitive dissonance causes instability, which further complicates the situation. Addressing twists, turns, and future uncertainties requires a focus on storytelling. In this process, I need to identify the parts I missed and complete the meaning. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Wealth can only be accumulated when ownership is secured by humans. Debt is a relative concept that stems from ownership and establishes the idea that others’ property must be returned to the original owner. Debts are useful when managed properly, but they also come with the burden of repayment. The obligation to return others’ property is rooted in human morality , which is ultimately linked to the foundation of economic activity . Living with good people is a crucial factor in achieving wealth. Therefore, people come before money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Being wealthy means your assets grow larger, and their value increases too. The purpose of all economic activity is to secure assets. The more assets you have, the more opportunities you create. Assets represent the total of what one owns and borrows from others. In other words, it is the complete amount of resources available for earning time. Resources serve as the foundation for acquiring additional resources. It’s like using small earthworms as bait to catch fish. Thus, it is said that money makes money. This is referred to as financial income . Income is primarily categorized into earned income and financial income. If you have a substantial earned income but lack financial income, you are more likely to face poverty in the future. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

No individuals achieve greatness merely by improving their weaknesses; on the contrary, many become great despite their disadvantages. Despite their shortcomings, achieving greatness results from focusing on core strengths. Emphasizing strengths can be a more effective approach than simply managing weaknesses. However, individuals with fewer foundational skills often view the lack of basic skills as a weakness; this perception is an illusion. Those without a solid foundation struggle to understand their weaknesses or strengths, making any effort seem pointless. Return to the fundamentals. If a professional manager cannot comprehend financial balance sheets, it would be like watching a circus for blind management. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The Awakening Formula: [Mine = all of my properties - borrowed - inherited - gifted - stolen - cheated out of]. If you exceed this “mine,” it’s time to wake up. All economic activities should commence with the amount you consider to be a genuine “mine.” It is essential to view it as a sin to enjoy anything “first” or “more” than that. Caring for what belongs to you is the initial step toward success and the foundation of life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Business isn’t just about “doing something” — it’s about “building trust.” In running a café, my focus should be on fostering customer confidence in my service rather than simply selling coffee without consideration. Before making sales, establishing trust as a business owner should be a priority. Gaining experience by working part-time in another café can facilitate this trust-building process. When you create financial credibility, running out of money can harm your reputation. However, if you earn money through established trust, you can regenerate funds even after they have been depleted. Trust serves as the foundation of money and is central to successful business operations. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
