The Japanese use Kaizen better than Americans. The weird thing is that the Americans taught the Japanese the Kaizen method. This wasn’t called Kaizen before, that’s a Japanese word. But the Americans developed this method during WW1 to ramp up production. It worked so well they kept it going until the end of WW2. That’s when they taught it to the Japanese to help them get their country back on it’s feet. While the Americans gradually abandoned the method, it suited the Japanese culture. Think of origami, bonsai, or karesansui (Zen gardens). These are not Kaizen, but the art of small things is definitely embedded in Japanese culture. While it seems to be restricted to Japan, it’s not. This is a method of improvement that we can use everyday. It fits with what I’ve been talking about, small test assets, stacked. Going 1% better each day. You’re not trying to build the next ClickFunnels, you’re building one blog post, tweet, reel, pdf, etc. Not all of those, just one of them in one day. The next day you make one of the others. One small step at a time. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make one of those – today or tomorrow.
