Surviving in a World Without Companies

Description
Book Introduction
How to live without wavering, outside the company fence
Will we collapse or survive in a world without companies?
Prepare for life outside the company right now!
Many people think of retirement as something that happens in the distant future.
But the reality is different.
Retirement can come much sooner and more suddenly than we expect.
In an era where the average retirement age is getting earlier and earlier, retirement is no longer a matter of old age, but rather a survival strategy that must be considered starting in one's 30s.
Most workers think of retirement as the end of their career, but depending on how they prepare, it can be the beginning of another path, not the end.
What matters is life after that.
The moment we leave a company, we leave an environment that has been familiar to us for a long time.
Set schedules, clear roles, and relationships with people you meet every day disappear.
The lives of those who prepare for this change in advance and those who do not proceed in a completely different way.
Life in a world without companies brings freedom and hope to some, while to others it brings emptiness and helplessness.
The author, who left a large corporation where he had worked for 16 years to begin a second life as a writer and content creator, emphasizes that leaving a company requires thorough preparation to truly make the rest of your life your own.
There comes a time when everyone has to leave a company, whether they want to or not.
A world without companies is closer than you think, and the days of living in that world are far too long.
Let's prepare for life outside of work quietly and strongly, starting in our 30s and 40s.
It will be the most powerful weapon in your life.

Into the book
Retirement in your 40s, being recommended to resign in your 40s, is like a death sentence in a capitalist society.
So how should we live? The bottom line is that you need to prepare in advance while working at a company.
I need to get ready before the company tells me to leave, before I spend all my youth.
I didn't find my way right away either.
I was constantly worrying and wandering.
In my 30s, I prepared for a job change and earned an MBA (business administration degree) and several certifications.
I invested quite a bit and even prepared for immigration.
By repeating this process, I found my own path.
If you're reading this and you're in your 30s, you're in luck.
If you're in your 20s, that's even better.
Even if you're in your 40s, it's okay.
You just have to realize it now.
No, actually you may already know.
That we must prepare for the future.
40 is never too late.
Youth is competitiveness.
You need to develop your own competitiveness while you are still young.
It is absolutely necessary to challenge, experience, and prepare for various things.
---From "Things that office workers in their 40s need to realize as soon as possible"
What should we do when the company faces the possibility that it might no longer need our employees? Should we remain loyal to the company? Should we consider the company our everything? No.
If you think that way, you need to come to your senses.
Words like “loyalty” and “everything” no longer fit today’s jobs.
I wish office workers would think like this.
"Work as if you'll go forever, prepare as if you'll quit tomorrow." It's become tiresome to say that we live in an age where we could be fired at any moment.
But are you ready? For my company and I to have a healthy relationship, we need to think alike.
If the company can abandon me at any time, I should think that I can abandon the company at any time.
What does it take to be able to let go? I need to be able to generate the economic benefits of the company for myself.
But only a very few people are prepared for that.
You must be that kind of person.
---From "The company can abandon you at any time"
While working, I worked as a freelancer and a salaried worker. After leaving my job, I worked as a freelancer and a self-employed person. Currently, I am a freelancer and a corporate business owner.
I am learning about various forms of economic activity one by one that I was unaware of when I was working.
When you become an individual or corporate business owner, you are now the business owner or company representative.
The fact that I have nowhere to lean on can make me anxious.
But there is also the satisfaction of being able to forge one's own destiny as a business owner or company representative, rather than being swayed by the company.
If you've only worked your whole life, you might be wondering, "Can I really do this?"
But everyone has a first time.
All workers have to leave their jobs at some point.
So, I hope you will take an interest in other forms of economic activity besides office work.
If you quit your job and start a new job, you will lack experience and skills.
That's why it's a good idea to first gain experience working as a freelancer and then choose a form that's advantageous based on the industry, structure, and income level you're looking for.

Publisher's Review
Enduring is not the answer.
Design a life that won't waver even outside of work.
You will remember the moment when you finally became a working adult, free from the status of a job seeker.
It seemed like only a flowery path would unfold before me, but no.
Before you know it, you find yourself walking on a stone path.
Thinking that this might not be the right road, I move to a side road, but it is a steep road.
What I'm saying is that moving companies is not the answer.
However, if I just quit my job and go off course, a cliff awaits me.
Every office worker faces difficulties in their work life due to different problems.
In it, many people who are exhausted choose to endure in the company as a way to survive.
However, corporate life, where you are desperate to survive each day, eventually ends up exhausting you.
The author, reflecting on his 16 years of experience working for a large corporation, says, "Prepare your own path while working at the company."
Based on my own and those around me's various experiences, I emphasize 'planning' rather than 'enduring' before my body and mind get hurt.
Quitting a job is not a failure.
A well-prepared retirement is a springboard for life redesign.
There comes a day when everyone has to leave their company.
Only those who are prepared can stand as themselves.
When is the right moment to leave a company? When commuting becomes so painful that you feel you can't bear it anymore? When you reach retirement age? This book doesn't specify a specific time to leave.
Just say it.
'That day will surely come to everyone.'
With the average retirement age moving forward and restructuring and forced resignations becoming an imminent reality at any time, those in their 30s and 40s are not just a working generation, but a generation that must prepare.
The organization called company does not protect me.
Then I must protect myself.
Wouldn't true self-development in this era be to become someone who wouldn't crumble even if thrown into a world without companies tomorrow?
Life after leaving a company often feels bleak.
But this book offers guidance on finding opportunity and hope in the midst of anxiety.
Based on the author's experience as an office worker, freelancer, self-employed, and corporate entrepreneur, the book details various types of economic activity, their pros and cons, and even how to prepare for them.
Through rich experiences and examples, it shows the reality of the somewhat vague word ‘self-reliance.’
People who have their own revenue model and are prepared to manage their money and time will remain unshaken even outside of the company.
Rather, I can stand taller as myself.
For those who want to live a life where they are the representative of their own life, this book will provide a useful blueprint.
Chapter 1.
In 'Why is work so hard?', we hear various stories about survival within an organization, about giving up or holding on, and the resulting pain.
Chapter 2.
The company does not protect you' emphasizes the need for preparation by showing the inevitable moment of retirement, the disappearance of income and status, and the uncertain future.
The last 'Chapter 3.
"Things You Can See After Leaving a Company" contains powerful advice on the realities after leaving a company, strategies for financial independence, and opportunities to find outside of work.
If you don't get it now, it's too late.

"What weapons do you have at this very moment?" "Are you ready to protect your life beyond the company fence?"

It will be a shield to survive in the unfamiliar world of life outside the company, and a powerful weapon to keep the wavering adult's balance.
