The moment when the dots become lines!

The moment when the dots become lines!

This phrase is from the famous Steve Jobs commencement address at Stanford University.

→Steve Jobs Lecture

Recently, I have been keenly sympathizing with him.

Life has many experiences in the past when you are over 50. Whether those experiences were good or bad for me at the time, I have accumulated many experiences both in years and in time.

Even if it is just an experience at the time, it will have a connection later on.

You may say, "Oh, that and that are connected now. That thing and that thing are connected now!

If I hadn't done that then, I wouldn't be here now.

And so on.

This is life.

The more you experience, the more you experience. There are many things we appreciate now that we didn't appreciate before. And when the dots are connected, the work is very powerful and the potential for success is very high.

If you want a lot of powerful success, you have to accumulate a lot of experience.

That is the reason why.

Experience can be negative or positive. So just feeling it doesn't mean anything. You have to learn something from the experience in your own way and make it work positively, that is experience.

Experience is an experience!

Life can be compared to a journey.

It is a journey through time. Where is the endpoint? What fraction of the current journey is this transit point?

How far will you go? How far will you walk? In which direction?

When and how far.

Experience and experience and the dots will connect to form a line.

That's how we want it to be.

Our background In 1991, we started the business that was not yet found in Japan, or even in the world. That business was to become an agency who provides franchise store-development service. We came up with the idea to persuade companies to join a franchise as their new business; our target was not individuals, but the small and medium-sized enterprises who already established with their businesses. With that as a start, we managed to expand over 30 franchise brands including various restaurant brands i.e. Bakery Restaurant St.Marc(650 uint in Japan, BBQ “Gyu-kaku”(850 unit in Japan), Katsudon “Katsuya”(350 unit in Japan), Sushi delivery “Gin-no Sara”(730 unit in Japan), and from other hospitality business categories i.e. Second-hand automobile dealer “Gulliver”(450 unit in Japan), Second-hand golf club dealer “Golf Partner”(350 unit in Japan), Women’s fitness club “Curves” (2,000 unit in Japan as a master franchisor of the American brand), by selling new businesses to small to medium-sized enterprises in Japan. Number of the stores we successfully opened are over 8000 ! During this time, in 1996, Akira has established a company, Prime Link Co.Ltd., to start a business that we become franchisee ourselves to grow the business. In 2001, Prime Link Co, Ltd., became the very first franchise business company that is listed on the stock market(Nasdaq Japan). In 2006, Akira left Prime Link and started our company, Assentia Holdings, Inc. In 2010, Akira has established Assentia Holdings PTE. Ltd. in Singapore, and started the business to connect Japan and the world. During the last 5 years, our client’s franchise stores have spread in 19 countries（180 unit) in the world. Japanese food business and Japanese-style service are catching a great deal of attention from the world. Our work is spreading out from Asia to Oceania, Middle Eastern, Europe and North, Central and South America. Published a business book "Gain F&B franchise business opportunities in Asia"
