Here are my assumptions:
- People are most efficient when they are working on things they love.
- Independence comes from not having the freedom to blame others. True independence = 100% responsibility.
- You can learn to do anything and become anyone if you really really want it.
- Businesses can be fun, creative, lean, flexible, and profitable. All at the same time with the technology available today.
These are my assumptions, and I’ve made a decision to prove them right.
I left my job at Sony headquarter strategy office in Tokyo and started working on what I’ve always wanted to do - a game studio. This is where I will keep record of my progress and see where this road leads me.
