There are a significant percentage of people who would like to start their own business, but fear of the unknown often prevents them from trying.
Everyone dreams of starting a business at some point in their life and the first thing they think about is the best idea that can be successful.
But not only do you need good ideas, you need well-run businesses, with spirit and social sense, where the staff has a prominent place and their talent is valued.
Entrepreneurs are required to have a new way of directing and guiding new businesses, offering a humane and inclusive approach.
It is a radical transformation in the way of seeing, doing and thinking about the administration and operation of a company.
Models or paradigms just as societies evolve, which means change and for this you must be willing to change.
Today the new paradigms must respond to the needs of a new era of technology, the digital age.

The business world is one that is present on the Internet, with hundreds of thousands of connected companies and millions of users who are potential customers.

As entrepreneurs understand new ways of doing business, are determined to put the concepts and principles of the new business culture into practice, and become interested in training, they will surely be successful.

Due to the wide variety of topics, I invite you to periodically interrupt the reading and reflect on the recommendations and advice that are made in each of the chapters.
It is important to note that this work is based on the experience of the author who has been, in addition to many times an entrepreneur, founder and president of various boards of directors, director, investor, consultant and auditor of a wide variety of companies of different types and sizes and is recognized as a historical antecedent of the administrative audit.
Undertaking is starting a set of activities aimed at a specific and predetermined purpose.
Entrepreneurship is a race with many obstacles to be overcome and requires being prepared to face difficult and uncertain scenarios that with a good attitude and dedication can be successful.
For an entrepreneur to be successful, he must create companies that meet his personal needs, so he must make sure that the nature of the business is in accordance with his wishes, attitudes, character, knowledge and potential.
Having a good idea does not mean that it will translate into a successful business since there are many variables involved.
Many may have a business idea, but nothing guarantees that it is good and can be transformed into a successful company.
You should not believe that a new idea really is different from the thousands that already exist and you are going to be the creator of a new social network with millions of followers.
Supposedly original businesses are not always successful and can be expensive and have little chance of success so they must be very well thought out.
I don't want to be pessimistic, but you need to keep your feet on the ground and be practical and rational, it's not about inventing the black thread in business.
The initiative or project to create a company is generated from an idea that arises from the observation of economic reality, in which we detect possible business opportunities, whether the market has more demand than supply of any product or service and the companies that exist cannot satisfy it or the demand of a community for a certain product or service that is not on the market.
It is preferable to start in a simple, tried and tested business to achieve self-sufficiency as quickly as possible and then get a loan or a partner to grow.
It is advisable to start with a small business to gain experience as an entrepreneur, preferably with a simple business to operate.
Businesses must have a clearly defined vision, mission and objectives, adopted and understood by their involved collaborators, which augur a promising future and a better quality of life for all.
The entrepreneur is a person who engages the business world with his own means, changing his way of life.
When you are going to start a business the most important thing is to be realistic since the entrepreneurial spirit does not always make a dream come true.
One of the biggest fears when starting a new business is the statistics of the failure of those who start.
Knowing that more than 80% of companies fail and more than 60% of those that survive will do so in the first two years, definitely does not motivate you to start a business.
The above is a reality that must always be considered when starting a business, it is not about being optimistic or pessimistic, the only real thing is that the statistics do not lie.
When starting a business, there are no guaranteed formulas or proven recipes for success.
To be sure of the objectives to be achieved, it is essential to know what strategy will have to be adopted.
In order to define the strategy to be adopted, it will have to be subject to a specific work plan that allows achieving the established and visualized goals.
To define the goals, the personal potentialities and the profile of the members of the group involved must be taken into account.
It is very important to establish realistic and achievable goals and objectives, to avoid frustrations.
The idea of getting investors or bank loans starting a business is very rarely real, since the vast majority of entrepreneurs do not get money if they do not have guarantees to give financial institutions such as real estate, bank accounts with minimum balances or guarantees with credit credibility.
There are special funds for entrepreneurs that governments provide through their incubators and accelerators, but the amounts they lend and the universe of people they can cover are still very limited.
When you don't have many resources to start a business, using social networks to promote it is a low-cost alternative that requires imagination and can give good results.
To keep expenses low at the start of operations, you can hire office services, assistants, specialists, telephone systems and virtual email addresses that allow you to be efficient and have a presence in the market with a serious and professional image.
"The important thing is to try it again and again until it is achieved, that is how the character of the entrepreneurs should be"
"Entrepreneurs are born and made"
"Being an entrepreneur can be crazy or a great opportunity"
