OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS...


I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPANIES, MANAGERS & FRIENDS

SUFFER


DECLINING SALES & PROFITS

UNEMPLOYMENT

PERSONAL DIS-SATISFACTION

DUE TO...


AND


… I HAVE ALSO GATHERED A LOT OF

INSPIRATION


kickz.com was founded by a Basketball aficionado in 1993. After expanding his reach, commercializing different brands, the company introduced its own brand k1x and sponsors NBA Player Ron Artest.


The guys at sustenta.com have converted their passion (save the planet), into a profitable and meaningful business model!


My friend Hector Flores and a team of friends have used their passion for theatre and music to created an amazing musical experience 100% Tapatio!


A 21 year old student from the ITESM Campus Monterrey, has turned his passion for robotics, entrepreneurship and education into a $1.7 mio pesos business.


Lin-Manuel Miranda was inspired by his Puerto Rican background and laid the foundations for a mayor successful broadway musical “In the Heights” that won 4 Tony Awards in 2008.


The creators of “Monte Coxalá” have converted a normal mountain that is next to the Lake Chapala, into a pre-hispanic paradise at just 40 min. from GDL.


And two years of watching fascinating TEDTalks exposed me to a broad range of inspiring people who all found their passion in what they were doing.


In one of the videos, Richard St. John shared the results of his research where he interviewed successful people. “And the first thing was … PASSION”


I ASKED MYSELF...


WHAT´S MY PASSION?


HOLISTIC & POSITIVE THINKING


GIVING BACK & EDUTAINMENT


DESIGNING BUSINESS MODELS

ESTRUCTURA DE COSTOS


But what kind of Business Models do I want to design?


I wasn´t really sure...


Until a few weeks ago...


...after a family reunion, Alan (a passionate music student at Fermatta) explained to me that his parents are putting pressure on him to

engage in a profession that will earn him a living…

Alan


He considered opening a restaurant business...


Make enough money...


And then, when he has saved enough...


...open a Recording Studio.


Basically he is saying that he wants to do THIS in order to comply with the expectations of his family and friends (make money in the short term) until he has made enough money to pursue his dream.


For me this didn´t make any sense!


Immediately, I proposed to him that we can explore the world of music and search for

attractive niche segments where he could find fulfillment and financial independence...


Anyhow, the conversation reminded me of several friends who are in a similar situation.


Lupita

Lupita has a passion for theatre, musicals, and Walt Disney movies. Last year she quit her well paid job at Cemex in order to explore again her artistic routes, baught a bunch of

books, and enrolled in classes in NYC with Tom Toddoroff. Today she is being part of the cast of Sessions, a Broadway Musical that is currently being directed by Mauricio Cedeño.


John

John believes that technology, creativity and collective thinking can change the world. That´s why he is in the process of founding Gawana.com.


Carlos, a New Business Development Manager in the Digital Printing industry, who is exploring the Mexican art world in order to help artists in the process of spreading their

masterpieces with international art lovers all around the world.

So I thought...what the world needs now...


...is a task force that helps talented and visionary people to

transform their dreams into reality!


It would look more or less like this...
