Lesson #4: Tread Carefully Into New Waters
Today, the popularity of Pokemon throughout the world has led some to dub the phenomenon “Pokemania.” From Japan to the U.S., children are fascinated by anything and everything Pokemon: the cards, the toys, the websites, the candy, and the list goes on. But when Tajiri first thought about expanding his brand, he was not quite sure what to expect.

The Bug Boy: The Early Years of Pokemon’s Satoshi Tajiri
“When you're a kid and get your first bike, you want to go somewhere you've never been before,” says Satoshi Tajiri. “That's like Pokemon. Everybody shares the same experience, but everybody wants to take it someplace else. And you can do that.”

The Dawn of Pokemon: Tajiri Launches His Game
Tajiri was no stranger to video games. In the early 1980s, he had won a contest sponsored by Sega that involved making a video game. With his “Game Freak” colleagues, Tajiri had also created his first video game, Quinty, which was published by Namco. But in 1991, Tajiri discovered something that he thought was revolutionary: the Game Boy. When he saw two boys playing a game together, connecting their Game Boys by a link cable, Tajiri immediately began to think of the possibilities. “I saw Game Boy when it was first released,” says Tajiri. “The idea for Pokémon clicked in my mind. The basic idea for Pokemon seemed a good fit for Game Boy.”

A positive work-out for your brain for business owners and would-be business owners alike
There are many of us that go to the gym to give our bodies a work-out, but how many of you give you mind a work-out too? I would hazard a guess that not many people give their brain a physical work-out; there are those of you that have bought the "Nintendo Brain Tease", which is said to help our brains and our memory. However, this is not many people that even do this and what I have in mind is to change your thinking to a positive mode of thinking, so here goes my idea for a brain work out: 1. Each day you wake up make sure you "Think in a positive way". Begin your day with a big smile and take your mind off to a lovely place, a special place you would love to be. This could be a Caribbean Island or by your favourite lake, it does not matter, all that matters is that when you think about this place it makes you feel really good.
