PSPINC CEO Kenichi Uchikura's Blog

We just wrapped up our networking event this morning at PSPINC, and it was a great success! Around 20 people attended, and it was a wonderful opportunity to connect, share business stories, and exchange ideas.

 

I want to sincerely thank all the people who attended this morning’s event despite their busy schedules. Your presence and participation made it meaningful and impactful.

 

I also had the chance to speak with a few attendees about potential partnerships to help promote their businesses to PSPINC’s customer base. These kinds of conversations are exactly what make events like this so valuable.

 

I’d love to see more opportunities like this in the future. A big thank you to everyone at PSPINC who worked hard to make this event happen — great job, team!

You Do Your Best to Maximize Your Investment

 

As an entrepreneur, every decision counts—because every dollar, every hour, and every opportunity matters.

 

You don’t waste money.
You don’t waste time.
You don’t waste resources.

 

Why?
Because they are all your investments—your money, your energy, your future.

 

When you build something from scratch, you learn to be lean, smart, and relentless.
You analyze every cost.
You measure every return.
You squeeze the most value out of what you have—because there's no safety net, no corporate cushion, no backup plan.

 

But here's the truth:
You still need to spend money, time, and resources—especially when you're creating new opportunities.
Growth doesn't come from saving alone.
It comes from strategic investment—knowing when to bet on yourself, when to build, and when to reach beyond your current limits.

 

Entrepreneurship isn’t just about risk-taking—it's about resourcefulness and timing.
You make things work.
You stretch what’s possible.
You maximize every investment—not by hoarding, but by spending wisely to create your own future.

It’s important to remember that government contracts are funded by public money—money that comes from the taxes paid by individuals and businesses. That means your true stakeholders aren’t just the government agencies that sign your contracts, but the people who fund them: the taxpayers.

 

Whether you’re providing infrastructure, technology, consulting, or other services, the success of your business is tied to the trust and contributions of the public. This comes with a responsibility—one that requires transparency, efficiency, and ethical conduct in everything you do.

 

Your work matters, and it plays a role in how public funds are utilized. So take pride in what you do, but never lose sight of who makes it possible.

 

You’re not just serving the government.
You’re serving the people.

 

Experience Japan in Bellevue: What is Japan Fair?
When you think of “Japan Fair,” you might not be familiar with the name—unless you’ve spent time in the Seattle area. But for those in the Pacific Northwest, Japan Fair has become one of the most anticipated cultural events of the summer. Held annually in Bellevue, Washington, Japan Fair is a free, two-day celebration of Japanese tradition, art, innovation, and community.

 

🎎 What is Japan Fair?
Japan Fair is a family-friendly, interactive cultural festival that showcases both traditional and modern aspects of Japanese culture. Originally known as “Aki Matsuri” (Autumn Festival), the event was renamed and relaunched as Japan Fair in 2016. Since then, it has attracted over 20,000 attendees annually, making it one of the largest Japanese cultural festivals in the region.

 

From taiko drumming and martial arts demos to tea ceremonies, origami workshops, cosplay contests, and even Japanese food and sake booths, the fair offers an immersive experience for all ages.

Great for families, friends, and anyone curious about Japan

📝 Final Thoughts
Japan Fair is more than just an event—it’s a cultural bridge that connects people through the spirit of omotenashi (Japanese hospitality), artistic expression, and shared experiences. Whether you have deep roots in Japan or are just discovering its culture, Japan Fair offers something meaningful, memorable, and fun for everyone.

 

So mark your calendars, bring your friends, and come celebrate the vibrant culture of Japan right in the heart of Bellevue!

This is an image of the elegant shopping center located in front of the Duomo in Milan—Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II—one of the most iconic and frequently visited destinations in Italy. Known for its breathtaking architecture, soaring glass dome, and luxurious atmosphere, the Galleria is also home to the Prada flagship store. It’s a prime example of placing your brand where the people are. Just like physical retail stores carefully choose high-traffic areas to maximize visibility and foot traffic, the same principle applies to websites.

 

Launching a website without any form of promotion is like opening a store in the middle of the desert. It might be beautifully designed and offer outstanding products or services, but if no one knows it exists, it won't attract any visitors—and traffic is essential for online success. A website without traffic has little to no value.

As an entrepreneur, you're always worried — even when things are going well.
The pressure never really stops. There’s always something that needs your attention, a problem to solve, a decision to make. Success doesn’t bring peace of mind — it often brings even more responsibility.

 

But sometimes, you need to step back — for your own sake.
Taking a break isn’t weakness. It’s wisdom. It’s about preserving your mental clarity and physical health so you can keep going long-term.

 

I didn’t do that. And I ended up in the hospital, repairing myself.
Nature has its own way of reminding you to slow down — whether you like it or not. If you don’t take a break voluntarily, life might force one on you.

 

So please — don’t wait until your body or mind breaks.
Pause. Breathe. Rest.
You’ll come back stronger.

 

It’s okay to take a break.
