Safely dispose of sensitive documents through shredding.

Avoid carrying your Social Security Number in your wallet and only share it when necessary.

Exercise caution on social media, using privacy settings to protect personal information.

Educate your children about internet safety and ensure they don't share personal data online without permission.

Regularly monitor your credit report or consider a credit monitoring service for early alerts about changes.

(2) Protect Your Devices:

Keep all your devices updated with the latest security patches and software.

Secure your devices and home Wi-Fi network with strong, unique passwords.

Utilize biometrics like fingerprint or facial recognition where available.

Refrain from granting remote access or sharing login credentials with unknown individuals.

Install online fraud protection software, such as Trusteer Rapport, for added device security.

(3) Control Access to Your Accounts:

Create strong, unique passwords for each account and avoid password reuse.

Implement multifactor authentication for an extra layer of security during account logins.

Set up account alerts to monitor your financial transactions and account activity.

Keep your contact information (phone number and email) up to date on your financial accounts.

By following these measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of identity theft and enhance your online security.

Direct connections from Japan to the USA.

9月

29日

Did you know that there are only five airports in all of Japan offering direct flights to the USA and US territories? These airports are:

Fukuoka: Guam, Honolulu

Nagoya: Guam, Honolulu

Osaka: Guam, Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco

Tokyo Haneda: Atlanta, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, Detroit, Honolulu, Houston Intercontinental, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Newark, New York JFK, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington Dulles

Tokyo Narita: Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Denver, Dallas Fort Worth, Guam, Honolulu, Houston Intercontinental, Kona, Los Angeles, Newark, New York JFK, Saipan, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle

Speaking of Seattle, if you're looking for direct flights to Japan, you'll find them at only two of Tokyo's airports: Haneda and Narita. There used to be a direct flight from Seattle to Osaka/KIX by DELTA, but that was before the COVID-19 pandemic. Let's hope they bring back the KIX flight soon!

Many people who are considering starting a blog for business promotion often face the challenge of not knowing what to write and lacking the confidence to consistently maintain their blog. This is a common concern, but there are solutions available. While it's important to provide valuable information in your blog, you don't need to constantly write about a wide range of topics. Here are some approaches and content ideas to consider when starting your blog:

1. Selecting a Theme:
Before starting your blog, choose a theme that focuses on your business or your areas of interest and expertise. It's important that this theme aligns with your knowledge and passion. Themes can include topics like cooking, health, technology, travel, fashion, hobbies, and more. Selecting a theme helps you clarify the direction of your content.

2. Diversify Your Content:
A blog should not only provide valuable information but also reflect your personality and experiences. Diversify your blog content by including:
- Sharing Expertise: Share your knowledge and tips related to your chosen theme to provide value to your readers.
- Personal Stories: Discuss challenges or issues you've encountered and offer solutions or insights.
- Introduce Yourself: Give readers a glimpse into your life by sharing your hobbies, interests, and backstory.
- Everyday Life: Write about everyday things, such as your favorite foods or places you've visited, to create a sense of connection with your readers.

3. Maintaining Consistency:
Consistency in your blog is essential, but you don't need to push yourself to update it too frequently at the beginning. Start with a schedule of once or twice a week and gradually increase your posting frequency. Planning your content schedule and maintaining a list of article ideas can be helpful.

4. Engage with Your Audience:
To make your blog successful, prioritize communication with your readers. Respond to comments and engage with your audience on social media platforms. Building a connection and receiving feedback from your readers is important.

In conclusion, a blog is a powerful tool that combines self-expression and business promotion. By leveraging your personality and passion, you can build a strong relationship with your readers while contributing to the success of your business.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 252 Independent Contractor

9月

28日

Independent Contractor

In Japanese, sometimes we call independent contractors, freelancers. They are independent professionals who take on work themselves and offer their skills and services.

The term, independent contractors, alludes to the fact that they are on their first step toward building an independent career. It implies that they’ve taken the first step toward independence by accepting work as a contractor rather than an employee, giving them the freedom to choose their own schedule and clients.

There are many benefits to being an independent contractor, including:

1. Managing your own schedule

As an independent contractor, you can set your own work schedule. This makes it easier to allocate time to family, hobbies, other projects, etc.

2. Selecting your clients

As an independent contractor, you can choose which clients you want to work with. You can work on projects that match your preferences and areas of expertise, and avoid unpleasant client relationships.

3. Maximizing earnings

Because you can freely set your fees, you can earn an income equivalent to your skills and experience. If you’re successful, you can also earn more revenue.

4. Reducing fees and expenses

Compared to getting hired as an employee, an independent contractor can reduce expenses for office space and equipment. Other expense reductions can include commuting time and transportation costs.

5. Tax benefits

In some countries, there may be tax incentives available. In some cases, you can deduct a portion of expenses, which would reduce the tax burden.

6. Skill development

You’ll have opportunities to work on a variety of projects and gain a wide range of skills and experiences, which promote personal growth.

7. Access to infrastructure

You may be able to access the infrastructure and networks of large companies and organizations, which can improve the quality and efficiency of your work.

On the other hand, the disadvantages of being an independent contractor include:

1. Income instability

Your income may fluctuate from project to project, which may not be stable. Some potential risks like loss of work from clients and delays in payment may occur.

2. Lack of benefits

Benefits such as health insurance, retirement, and paid time off are typically not provided. You must manage and pay for insurance and benefits yourself.

3. Self-employment tax

You are responsible for paying self-employment taxes when you’re an independent contractor. This can be a higher tax burden than working as an employee.

4. Competition for Clients

You may have to compete for clients as an independent contractor. In a competitive field, it can be difficult to find work.

5. Difficulty in balancing work and personal life

On the one hand, free schedule management is an advantage, but on the other hand, it can blur the line between work and private life, causing excessive work and stress.

6. Risk of contracts and disputes with clients

Contracts with clients and dispute resolution are responsibilities that you must bear. In the event of a breach of contract or dispute, it will require legal action.

However, these disadvantages can also exist when starting a company.
