How to mount your own business? Here are some myths and truths about an exciting experience full of success and failure. From both we learn, and without them nothing could be achieved. We have always followed admiringly racing success. It’s in our DNA. We are programmed to succeed, or at least try and I was no exception. From young I knew I wanted to be a successful person, logically measured in economic terms, but also in prestige and recognition. I focused my studies to achieve this goal and I convinced my parents to meet the costs of a prestigious university striving to take the title, and everything that followed was a long struggle to reach a stated goal into the wind. But I failed. Although it sounds like a joke or platitude, my road to success did not make me a millionaire, and although the work by others helped me to gain a lot of experience and pay my bills, I must admit that I lost. But, why I thought at that moment that I failed? Because I did not reach some goals I later found out they were not mine. I start with this speech because I think it is important to know the context. I took it out, but one day I discovered my own charade. The company I worked for, went through some difficult times and that fact coupled with my lack of motivation which led me for the first time to raise openwork changes in my life and if I tried to create my own company? And if finally doing what I wanted without trying to meet the expectations of an insatiable society? It was a long week of sleepless nights weighing the pros and cons. A leap which would capitalize on the arrest and that with two mouths to feed at home. But soon defoliated Daisy, I created my own business. I remember those days like a strange cocktail of nerves, excitement and sense of unreality. My surroundings looked worried but they respected me, in silence, my decision. Choose designer, records, paperwork, high taxes, subsidies but I soon discovered the bitter side of the entrepreneur, fighting over the administration to put everything in order. And the change was twofold, not only left the warmth and security of payroll, but also left the office to work from home. They spent days, weeks and months, and my company was beardless without issuing a single invoice. I soon learned to live with the bare minimum, buckle down and begin to value things that previously took for granted, was one of the most valuable experiences under my belt now awarded. And finally came the day, a client (now become friends) decided to trust that guy with the brightness of hunger in their eyes and hurry to talk. It is the sign of identity entrepreneurs, pleading with his eyes a chance as if the world were to end tomorrow. And I had. The first experience was sensational, a job well done, but very poorly received, like most beginners with their business. It seems that we are ashamed to charge. Working from home: My letter Well, from that first client in my own business has never been a month where you have not checked one dollar, and my company was founded in 2007, which I still remember as long as I can proudly. On the way I found very good people, I’ve made good friends, much pirate and also used, but until recently I have been able to learn. My maxim has always been transparency and honesty, first with myself and then with clients. There were many who advised me not to say that working from home, that this disrepute the business, but where there was a weakness in theory, I found a strength. To work from home was my letter, and most customers appreciated it as an asset. If I look back and try to take stock of the first reality I find the owner of your business, there’s no time to take stock. A smartphone, an iPad and a laptop are permanent coworkers … well, and my assistant staff that goes with me everywhere. But certainly there are two rewards for those who choose to carve out his own destiny: the freedom and pride in paying bills with direct sweat of your brow. It seems silly, but those who do know what I mean. Encourage entrepreneurship or not? Without hesitation, but always following these maxims while starting your own business: Do not set goals: Eventually learned of the trees, let your arms to move freely in the wind. The entrepreneur must be equal, flexible and trying to enjoy every second. Do what you really like: To succeed as an entrepreneur you have to be good at what you do, and for that you have to enjoy what you do. This way, you will get a double reward, the joy of work and income. Since May 2007, I no longer suffer from the so-called depression Sunday : Monday is a day in the calendar. No Shortcuts: The rewards come by hard and honest work even if you see some take shortcuts and you advance. Do not worry, sooner or later you will see in the ditch. Constant work and being clear with yourself and your clients Ever have asked me: “Have you failed in your career?” I always say yes, but thanks to this failure I have succeeded in my personal goals. My personal success is enjoyed as a child in everything I do and promptly pay my bills and taxes. Yes there I have succeeded, even before my own eyes.
