”A Harvard Business School professor studied my method and taught it to 800 students.
I was told that every single one of them — without being told — chose to include Karma and Personality in their own charts.
That told me something. People already know, deep down, that these two things matter.”
— Takashi Harada,
The Creator of Open Window 64 (Mandala) chart
You've probably seen it — the 9×9 grid that went viral after he signed the biggest contract in sports history.
ESPN broke down his speed. Business journalists wrote about the goal-setting framework. Everyone had an angle.
But they all looked at the same thing — and stopped at the surface.
*The Open Window 64 Chart completed by Shohei Ohtani during his sophomore year of high school.
Ohtani didn't just train his body. He trained his karma.
He didn't just sharpen his skills. He built his Personality.
”Pick up trash” wasn't a quirky habit. It was a strategy.
A simplified example — not from the course, just to show you how the system works.
1
Center box: your one goal.
Example: ”Get Promoted to Team Lead This Year.”
2
8 surrounding boxes: the pillars that goal depends on.
Skill Mastery, Leadership Presence, Relationships & Trust, Energy & Health, Communication, Daily Habits, Character (Karma), and — yes — Luck.
3
Each pillar becomes its own 8-box chart.
Take ”Character (Karma).” Ohtani's version of this box was picking up trash. Yours might be: follow through on small commitments, greet people first, show up five minutes early.
That's the whole mechanism: 1 goal → 8 pillars → 64 concrete, repeatable actions. Simple to explain. Surprisingly hard to actually build — which is why the course walks you through it step by step, box by box.
