I am from Venezuela and in my country I was a Children's Clothes wholesaler, a business in which I achieved excellent returns, therefore when I arrived in Miami, I thought that I could do the same here.
The results? I lost all my financial resources, I was physically and emotionally exhausted.
If anyone knows what it's like to come to Florida and put their time, money, and everything they own into a business and then lose it all, it's me.
After this, I started as volunteer in Chambers of Commerce and foundations that helped small entrepreneurs. There, when listening to my story replicated in people who came from other Latin America, I understood that, like the former tennis player, we didn't know how to adapt and we allowed ignorance and impulse to lead us to failure. Then I found my purpose: To help people of different nationalities, to meet and connect with key people, that could support them to start a successful Business in South Florida. |
