約40年におよぶ海外サラリーマン生活から不動産業へ転進
私の社会人人生は、1968年移民船ブラジル丸で日本を飛び出しスタートしました。
サンパウロの銀行、日本国総領事館を経て富士通に1972年中途入社。情報部門海外事業担当としてブラジル、イタリア、スペインに赴任した後、ハワイの同社ビジネススクールJAIMS副所長兼富士通ホノルル駐在員事務所長として役職定年まで勤めました。
第二の人生は不動産のライセンスを取得して不動産業へ。不動産会社に所属し一人で40億円近く売った年もありましたが、自分の会社『カイナハレ・ハワイ』を起業したあと勢いが一変します。
資金繰り悪化と管理物件不足で経営危機に陥り、知人の紹介で盛和塾ハワイに入塾しましたが、社内の足並みがそろわず、大きな商談に成功しても会社業績全体の伸びは今一つでした
コロナ禍も自動車事故もプラスに転換。自分も会社も元気に!
そんな中、二つの試練が大きなプラス要因に転換しました。一つはコロナ禍で日本から来られないお客さまのため、オンラインによる遠隔マーケティング体制を確立したこと。もう一つは車の運転中に事故を起こし一週間入院した反省から健康管理の改善を徹底し、自分が率先して会社を盛り立てる意識が明確になったことです。
この間、意見の合わないエージェントが辞め、かえって全社一丸となり黒字回復する機運も高まりました。Dojo RITAHのPDCA仲間の率直な助言も、私自身のマインドをポジティブに変え、目標管理意識も高まり、今年の売上は前年比で約20%増えています。
この勢いで、お客さまはもちろん、社内スタッフの「ハワイに家を持つ」という夢が叶えられるように頑張ります!

◎ Shifted from 40 years of overseas representative for a corporation to a real estate agent in Hawaii
My working life began in 1968 when I jumped aboard the immigrant ship Brazil Maru to leave Japan.
After working at a local bank and the Japanese Consulate-General in São Paulo, I joined Fujitsu in 1972. After being posted to Brazil, Italy, and Spain as a representative of the Overseas Business Division of the Information Department of Fujitsu, I served the company until my retirement as Deputy Director of the Company’s Business School JAIMS in Hawaii and Director of Fujitsu Honolulu.
My second life started as a realtor after I got the license. Belonging to a prominent real estate company, I sold well. At one time, my annual sales amounted to nearly 4 billion yen. After starting my own company “Kainahale Hawaii,” the momentum turned down.
We fell into a management crisis due to the cash flow deterioration and the managed properties shortage. I became a member of Seiwajyuku Hawaii by recommendation of someone. But my employees’ vectors are not aligned, and even if we succeeded in a big deal, the company’s overall performance didn’t look well.
◎ Both the corona disaster and a car accident have turned into positive factors to turn around!
In the meantime, two trials have turned into major positive factors in my life. One is establishing an online remote marketing system for customers who cannot come here from Japan due to the corona disaster.
The other is that I had an accident while driving my car and was hospitalized for a week. From my reflection on being hospitalized, I thoroughly improved my health management and clarified my awareness of taking the initiative to revitalize the company.
During this period, agents with whom we disagreed quit, and on the contrary, the momentum to recover profitability increased with the whole company united.
The candid advice of my PDCA colleagues at Dojo RITAH has also positively changed my mindset, increased my awareness of goal management, and the sales have increased by about 20 % compared to the last year.
With this momentum, I will do my best to make not just our customers’ dream but also our staff’s dream of “having a home in Hawaii” come true!
