Hi all,
first post, though I have lurked for a while...this place is full of useful info!
Some background:
I am 32 years old, Australian, and lived in Japan for a couple of years about 6 years ago.
I am currently an analyst with a Fortune 500 consulting company.
My Japanese is basic,but getting there. I will do the N4 in Dec, and don't expect any issues, though my speaking is much better than my kanji knowledge,so I'd say that's probably at N3 level.
ANYWAY...
I will be moving to Japan permanently next year sometime (wife is Japanese), and want to set up/invest in/buy a business.
Funds are not really a problem, I have plenty of upfront capital, and am financially secure enough to not need to turn a profit for quite a while. What I am lacking is an IDEA.
Can someone point me in a useful direction as far as networking with other like-minded individuals?
Anyone have suggestions as to what they would do in my situation?
Buy an English school? Buy accommodation for foreigners? Find a startup to invest in? Just invest in property? Any good booming industries for a startup of my own?
Cheers guys, any input would be appreciated!
