DESCRIBE A TIME WHEN YOU

TOOK A GREAT RISK.

WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME?

BY: JESÚS ACOSTA

THE DREAM Most of the people who studies management, has the dream of owning their own enterprise. This is how my great risk´s story begins.

I decided to undertake a business. I had to sell all my valuable things like gold chains, rings, car and also I had to use all my savings.

So I decided to continue with my project and I bought a piece of land, Then I went to an engineer and I told him that I wanted to build a carwash. That was like everything began.

S/T

First, like everything in life, nobody completely trusted on me. Part of my family was agree with my project but just that. Of course, I have to mention that I was just 19 years old at that moment..

HOW WAS IT ?

HOW WAS IT ?

When I started the construction I could notice that I did not have enough money. There were many details that I forgot due to my inexperience. This was a hard moment, I had tried my best and I had not achieved anything so far.

I thought for a moment to give it up. But I was helped by my family and also I introduced my project in a bank and I got a loan for it. So that was how I could finish this project, of course it is not quite finished.

The great risk

I had to bet everything I had. It was a hard decision in that moment, even though I believed that it was a good project one always knows that there is a risk and something could go wrong.

The outcome

Now I have finished the first part of my project and I have a car wash. It was not as easy as I have shown in this presentation. They were two years of hard moments, but at the end the achievement was comforting.

courageous decision.”
