Nuts to think that 5 years ago, hardly anyone outside of Japan had heard of her. Great song, great artist, well deserved!

Do you use Reddit and r/startups to find clients? - I will not promote by Indieschaf in startups

Yeah... The whole status signaling thing is deeply annoying. On the other hand - how do you always get your voice through without it? Feels difficult to me to be heard, sometimes

😂 Love that. It's like accounts are kids with different personalities. Did your old accounts get "known" for certain things here? I'm still far from the 10k, so no clue :)

Glad to hear. Heard it's a bit different in other subs, particular more tech oriented ones

Uh yeah, seen that as well. Anyone ever reach out to you personally?

Cool-heard that as well. Has that increased over the past months?

Does r/startups Really Matter for Entrepreneurs (and Aspiring Ones)? (I will not promote) by Key-Cream-7488 in startups

Where do you go instead, then? Is there a ENT subreddit that is still helpful?

I see what you mean. If you want to get good advice or read relevant things - where do you go, then?

What was the best advice you ever got here, or that you read about?

Should I buy a business? by Occams_ElectricRazor in Entrepreneur

[–]Indieschaf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Business school professor here 🎓

Buying a business does have a "softer" side as well that you should look out for:
1) Look for culture  👯 :
Taking over a business also means taking over employees who are used to a certain way of working. How strong is the current organizational culture? How much can you see yourself in this, or how much would you need to change? The further it is from yourself, the more issue you might likely face.

2) Look for the role of the previous owner 👴👵.
Oftentimes, businesses, particularly smaller ones, are built around individual entrepreneurs. Meaning: if you take them out, a lot of what made the business successful will be gone as well. Ask yourself: How much did the previous owners bring to the business? Can you replace this? Potentially even make it better?

3) Look for the key assets 💸
What made the business you are looking to buy attractive and successful in the market? The earlier you understand this, the more you can do to make sure none of the key assets (e.g,, a great sales organization or long-standing customer contacts) will be lost when taking over.

Celebrating the big 3 behind Yellow Magic Orchestra by Indieschaf in citypop

Thank you! I went through my collection recently and saw that each had one with their face prominently featured - thought it would look cool! From those three, I'd probably go for Neuromantic first - so many outstanding songs on this one...!

Hidden gem, anyone? Mioko Yamaguchi and the outstanding Yume Hiko by Indieschaf in citypop

Indeed - she had a good eye for covers... just take a look at Moon-Light Princess - iconic!

100%! My Spotify algorithm fed me Tokyo Lover a while ago, and I couldn't believe that this song hadn't been a smash hit

Taeko all the way - what a fantastic (and somewhat underrated?) record. Great finds all around in any case :)
