When you think of work, you may think of earning money or selling things. Of course, that is important, but what is even more important is "to whom and in what way can it be of use?" When you share something you made or care about, it helps to think about how it will be useful to the other person.
It’s hard to continue if it’s not useful.
No matter how cool it looks, something that is not needed by anyone is unlikely to last long. On the other hand, even if it is small, there is value in something that people say is "helpful" or "easy to use." Our work begins by getting closer to people's problems and wishes.
Something to think about before selling
What is the problem the other person is having, what format is easier to use, and how can I convey it to them? Children who can think about these things do not think of work only as "selling". Children who can think of something useful first are more likely to be trusted for a long time.
Find one thing around you that you think would be helpful.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value the ability to think about work not only in terms of money, but also in terms of being useful. Helping people is the beginning of a career.
