      Preface

      Welcome to Biz道 (Pronounced Biz- dō). Some of you may be hearing the Japanese word dō for the first time, while people who live in or have visited Japan may already know this term. In fact, there are many different kinds of dō in Japan, such as Shodō (Japanese calligraphy), Sadō (tea ceremony), Kadō (flower arrangement), Kōdō (appreciation of incense), Judo, Kendo and Aikido. The Japanese kanji character (dō) is actually a combination of the two other characters 首 and 辶, where 首 represents a human being and 辶 means to stop or to go. Therefore, dō represents a place that people can repeatedly come and go. A deeper translation of this kanji character is that dō describes the highest level of excellence an individual can achieve by thinking about or practicing something over and over again. In the same way, Biz道 stands for the highest level of business excellence gained from deeply and repeatedly thinking about your business activities.

      Furthermore, if dō is a road or path, then it should be one that anyone and everyone can use to arrive at their destination safely. Biz道 has as its goal the highest level of business excellence for anyone who chooses to apply its principles, and it has been developed in such a way that it can be a path walked upon by entrepreneurs and business leaders from any country. Dear entrepreneurs, let’s have courage when facing new challenges and together let's walk down this new path for doing business, Biz道, which will lead you to unprecedented success.

      Introduction

      Gyoku Shin - the Spirit of A Business Master

      Today's business world is constantly changing, and it is becoming increasingly complex and globalized. In such an environment, companies of all sizes and their leaders continue to struggle to achieve optimal and smooth performance levels for themselves and their organizations. In order to overcome the challenges and problems that arise from such a complicated business reality, many styles of business training, coaching and management systems have been developed all over the world. But even with all of these solutions companies, their leaders and workers are still seriously struggling with these business challenges and problems.

      As I said earlier, the business world is constantly changing. We are faced with so many challenges and problems within this changing landscape, and on top of this we must survive within highly competitive markets. So, what can we do to succeed in such a harsh business world? And where can we learn such methods?

      We can learn it from Budō, the Japanese Martial Arts. Before I explain the reason for this, I would first like to understand what images of the Martial Arts came to your mind when I said this. Many people have images of being hard, strict and painful immediately come to mind a when they hear this word Budō. This seems to be especially common with people who are from Japan. Our generation and those younger than us have come to embrace a Western lifestyle, and some people within Japan dislike Budō, which is often associated with battle, self-sacrifice and ancient history. On the other hand, some people may have favorable images come to mind, related to ideas such as strong and cool, based on Samurai movies and TV shows that glorify Japan’s Warring States Period (In Japanese, called the Sengoku era). However, true Budō has a deeper meaning of being based on training leaders to overcome the self through practice (In Japanese: Keiko) and to lead people onto the correct path. In other words, it was created to develop a person's character. The same is true in business. As leaders, we must face reality and accept the hardships we encounter.

      Let's say for example, you have your sights set on success and are following your business path. But as you face of countless challenges and hardships, you react in fear, or say Oh, this is too difficult!, as you move to escape from these hardships or worse yet, you panic and even retreat. In this way you will never reach your destination.

      This reminds me of the theme song from the historical television drama Mito Kōmon which goes like this:

      There are ups-and-downs in life. After tears, a rainbow will appear. Keep going and follow your own way with determination.

      "We need courage in life. Someone who is discouraged will be surpassed by others, even if he had been first and they have come later.

      Crying is no good, so let's get moving!"

      There are tears and smiling faces in life. It's not so bad. Better than leading a life without doing anything is to live a life in search of something.

      In business, it regularly turns out the same way it is expressed in this song:

      Even though they were behind me, they passed me by.

      Companies, who have many employees afraid of change and who want to remain exactly where they are, crying, will be overtaken by other companies who enter the market long after them. Such companies need leaders who can say; "Crying is no good,
