Japan Jump Start

Here's the first video of a 3 part interview with law firm Morrison Foerster, an international law firm that has a heritage spanning over 100 years and has been in Japan for more than 20. We were lucky enough to sit down with Jay Ponazecki and Mitsuyoshi Saito to talk about some of the legal matters foreigners should consider when incorporating a business in Japan.

Back by popular demand here is another piece of the interview with Brian Tannura. Inside we still have even more insights from him but his story is so inspirational that we had to give some of it away. Enjoy.

Ever hear of the term "chicken entrepreneur?" That's what Brian Tannura was before he launched his multi-million dollar business in Japan. Brian is a good friend of mine and I jokingly call his business strategy "BVM" - Brian's Vending Millions method.

While at NOVA teaching English, Brian was able to build a multi-million dollar vending business in his spare time! But he made a few mistakes along the way.

Are you teaching English or ready to build your successful business in Japan? Brian gave us his step-by-step guide to how he did it. This is incredibly valuable information. We are going to try to post as much as possible on the blog. The full interview + more tip on how to execute his plan is in the members area.

Once you're inside the community you can chat with Brian himself, he has agreed to participate in the discussions!

I need to be blunt. Doing business in Japan as a foreigner is a huge challenge and if you don't have the right mindset it's downright impossible. It's not because of the language. There are ways around dealing with language issues. The challenge in Japan is the business culture itself. It is unlike any other business culture in the world.

An astute business person and someone experienced in international business can carefully tip-toe around deals and negotiations here without screwing something up, but even that takes time and patience. What we have done with Japan Jump Start is we have removed the necessity for time or patience.

• Imagine you could sit down the the Japanese CEO of a major publicly traded company in Japan and ask him "How can I convince you to work with me?" We did that!

• Imagine you spoke with a entrepreneur who has launched not one, but 16 businesses in Japan and he gave you a play-by-play of how he did it? We did that too!

• Imagine you had lunch with one of the largest law firms in Japan and they gave you guidance on what to be careful of before doing business in Japan....yes, we did that too.

And the list goes on and on. There simply aren't any other resource available now with so many high profile, experienced experts giving you detailed information on how to succeed in business in Japan. In fact, there isn't anything like this anywhere on the internet on how to succeed in business at all!

You should take a moment to look inside the membership community. I'm going to let you join for $1 to see if you like it. But regardless, of whether you join or not, I'm going to give you a completely FREE book on doing business in Japan. And I'm going to continue to post free content on this blog as long as possible.

See you inside,
Ejovi Nuwere
