## What is Hajime no Ippo?

■ START SMALL. REWARD THE WIN.

Learn 10 new words.
Do 5 squats.
Drink a glass of water.
Fold 5 pieces of laundry.

Done? Give yourself a small reward.
Hajime no Ippo lets you assign a reward amount to everyday actions and turns those small wins into a running total you can watch grow.


■ BREAK BIG TASKS INTO FOUR SMALL STEPS

Starting is often the hardest part.

Hajime no Ippo breaks a task into four concrete steps and shows you where to begin.
You do not have to finish everything at once.

Just start with the first step.

Check it off, and your chosen reward amount is added to your total.


■ MAKE PROGRESS VISIBLE

Studying. Working out. Eating better. Cleaning. Work. Personal projects.

A lot of worthwhile effort does not pay off immediately.
Instead of waiting for the final result, Hajime no Ippo helps you see the action itself.

Finish a step.
Check it off.
Watch your reward total grow.

Small wins become visible progress.


■ TURN SMALL WINS INTO A SAVING HABIT

The reward total shown in the app is a record, not actual money.

As it grows, you can use that number as a cue to move the same amount into savings or investments yourself.

You do not need a large amount to begin.
Start small, build the habit, and let consistency do the work.


■ SEE WHAT CONSISTENCY COULD BECOME

Use the compound growth projection to see what your total could look like in:

・1 year
・3 years
・5 years
・10 years

Choose a projection rate and see how small amounts can change over time.

The goal is not to start big.
It is to start.

Hajime no Ippo does not hold, transfer, deposit, or invest money.

The reward total shown in the app is for tracking purposes only. Any actual saving or investing is done separately by you through the financial service of your choice.

Compound growth projections are illustrative calculations based on the selected rate. They do not guarantee future returns.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Hajime no Ippo is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any company named in the app. Nothing in this app is investment, tax, or legal advice.


Start small.
Reward the win.
Keep going.

Hajime no Ippo.
