Self-entrepreneurship is not about quitting your current job or changing your business idea like typical startups. On the contrary, it makes sure you succeed in both your job and business. - From Chapter 1, "Before Becoming an Employee or Entrepreneur, Become a Self-Entrepreneur First"


A self-entrepreneur never fails in business. Even when facing risks in business, they do not give up or get discouraged. Instead, they accumulate experience and knowledge that turn crises into opportunities, leading to success. Entrepreneurs accept risks, but self-entrepreneurs manage and protect against risks. - From Chapter 1, "Self-Entrepreneurs Who Succeed in Business"


If business experiences had not been recorded, trial and error would have remained failures. But the moment they were recorded, trial and error became assets rather than failures. Without recording, failures would have evaporated, but through documentation, they were reborn as assets. - From Chapter 1, "Accumulating Experience Through Recording"


Just as aiming to accumulate experience and knowledge rather than salary leads to higher pay, when sharing experience and knowledge, not aiming for compensation results in receiving even greater rewards. - From Chapter 1, "Share Experience and Knowledge"
