today I have to tell you a story of
a dream that came true I know
something 17 years playing wanted I needed
do some business to keep me
my mom told me I will not follow you
maintaining I can not continue with you and
you have to start making a living from
look for the way you’re going to
do
It was a very important part of my life
life but in the end today I give this leads to
More than 4,000 people
I have a newspaper that is the financial
in alliance with bloomberg and we are a
very important reference in our country
when I was a young teenager I did not
I come from a family
courses
in January by inheritance been middle class and
starting to look for how to do it if I
I was still thinking about some strategy
to be able to do a business and I got into
a problem in that age a friend me
I borrowed a motorbike I steal it
and he had to pay he did not have so
little money for back
then I return to the problem
manages to reach an agreement with her
to the project the money but it put me to
work although I had to do
desirable and the money
obviously he was not even older
could have a formal job then
she called one of her contacts
known for that somehow already
they take a job I started to discover
to myself that coincidences are
begin to give and began the others
coincidences that stole the motorcycle from me
mother put me to work for three months
I had that I was fulfilling my
school with ink down for power
finish paying when I finish
pay on the bike that was something symbolic
I realized that I liked working
It was a person that I was a person
that could serve for something else
and when I realize that I am going to serve
for something more than to study and follow
making things
I started looking for how they did
business
back then my mother got me
Treasury work in a magazine
politics of our country I know that
did all the errands and things
factor and a driver and very permission
driving and then people tell me
hey you know how to drive if they tell me my boss
bossi but how is it that you have to
be seen to help us in the early morning
to distribute the staff to work behind
in his home back I realized
who knew all the secretaries of the
government offices I knew all of
the people to whom he gave the
magazine because at that time ni
there was even internet then
I saw them every day they have a deal
direct with the secretaries
and I knew there was a big trade
around all these offices and
secretaries and residents who
selling things between them then I
made it easy to enter the jeweler center to see and
buy jewelry by kilos and makes
samples and then take them
then I started offering jewelry to
consignment and after that I them
they paid me even a fortnight and I pay what
saw 50 percent in half for
them 100% for the first payment and the
second was then
Well, what does a world ask?
of vendors and after one year what
had gathered around that time around
50 thousand pesos and he was very
easy that selling food could be
millionaire and it’s going to grow and it’s going to be
businessman but I said in a crisis
people always like always
we need food I’m going to open a
food business opened a small local
I tell them that I spent a thousand 250 thousand
pesos was very nice local was everything
and we separated
then it will be truly worrying
because I had permission to pay him
two meals and everything in the story and
the circumstances like dances changes
the discounts in life I came up with
start offering meals for seven
pesos to each of the premises that
there was around my business
then I went to the stationery of the
streams of beauty in the transparencies
in the borders to the gas stations
all the businesses around me
business and percent the PSOE does not
offered
meals supported the payment of the rent
of the premises with my jewelry business per
He was running out of money at the end
I ended up making minimal food continued
with my new jewelry but
I ended up distributing about 120 meals
daily distributing to my local no
There was business but I distributed what
was profitable my business I you Monday to
Friday
I spent working from the morning
adapt until the night very very very hard
because I shopped on Mondays to
have eat the food for all the
week and went to the supply center of
his aunt had everything he came to people
I used to cook the meals and what
The only thing I wanted to do was rest
sure with frequent for orchards
when in a moment not because thanks to
that was born what it is to tell
thanks to that it is preventive in the
telecommunications business and
thanks to that I learned to do more things
in my life they take me to one of the
important younger entrepreneurs
my country
then I happened to tell the center
where they repaired the emitter is that if I
I let put a little bit a little
cardboard where I told you that
they sold that an antenna was coming to return
I’ll let you put it on the left or not
I kept delivering all the meals
days
in a day giving him the meals that
asks this man hey how much you know
you of death
and all this
to manage and change the rangers and
I’ve always liked television and
electronics then I knew operated
perfectly the parabolic and tells me
listeners of a client who fell a
lightning in his house was damaged all the
televisions know you damage also the
satellite system
could repair it let’s see it has a
completely different type to mine
so bring the equipment what
I wanted to take them home to check them
in the night that without so much pressure and that
nobody saw me and then come back and
tell him if he fixes let’s go and start
look for who can help me repair it
find a person and hear no
customer who has a satellite dish
damaged and that I want to fix what
could be to guide how to do it I would
I dedicate to the external satellite dishes
of housing that I do not understand right now
this new system that came out today ready
total help that against all these
business people with him
and he starts teaching me how to use it
and then they ‘re going to ask what the
reaction to my client if he accepts it
dedicate, tell him, make me
my client took the meals that he
tell your client to repair the platform
to parabolic in the villas that cost
30 thousand pesos 30 thousand pesos was what I
looseness going on a month in my business
meals and scares
and then they do not accept the budget
so he helped me prepare this for
budget but in favor of you coming
with me but I
then it’s not a problem but you turn it off
Total I managed to do
already on a trip to the United States for about
receivers and I started to bring and start and
I did not see it one of the main
suppliers across the country to sell the
parabolic antenna system
they already knew too much the story to say
much more if you’re on time with my mom
I wanted to run from the house because now
the service person please by
please I ask you this is a company
it would be in general
this is my room more asleep until the
11 in the morning
a company like the one I put 17 18 years ok
Now you have to look for a new type but
I did not have much either, there’s nothing to
move it is a logo that are going to
leave the computers that you
remember the courses from
microsoft came a a logo of a
parabolic I told you this I’m going to
pull and this is in the types of
compensate we’re going to put deployed in
the second-hand newspapers in all
sides are condensed is a great company
gigantic that has many employees what
I visualized
friends
good thousand pesos will install the
mind design then I started with my
friends to install the antennas everything and
little by little running ground
it began to dig
and then what am I going to do now?
I understand that I tell you
and here already with the beatings that the
people who had known him I started to
put on the television part
professional and now to sell
transmitters for public
total edition team I started selling
professional television team to little
time out of ten years or so with
Mr. tumor 95% of the television
in the country had been integrated by
talk then when this one had
alumina turned the indicator but they say
have another problem I already had money but
I already had it marked because they were not made
television daily then I had
what to look for now with a new solution that
will take me to continue growing by 2
April 2 offices in Central America

Central America we did one during h
We did many many more installations
and we started to grow in different
countries in Latin America to reach
see
and we began to learn that you will love the
banks to the industries
many things are done to the cities
We are going to sell circuit cameras
closed television and then like
that they are prices branches of services but
what I wanted and work in the media
telecommunications because I said to
see how it is possible to find
All this
we are behind the information of the
means but we do not participate in a
active
good a newspaper
then total started looking for reedbeds
of newspapers and I find that the
newspaper in financial
that had an excellent excellent
reputation will not be a great opportunity
because its founder had died
cárdenas contact the family will
He said
I dedicate myself to television and total
that decides to sell me
