SET UP MY OWN BUSINESS Years ago, when I had just finished my degree, I had the opportunity to set up my own business. I had no experience, no money, no contacts so I didn't have any to lose except my time and decided to carry on that amazing project. In the beginning, I thought it could be a job for all my life. I knew I would have to work a lot and make a huge effort to build a recognized brand. We were eight different co-workers and everyone was owner, we worked with enthusiasm and fellowship. Unfortunately, things started to go wrong and the origin was the money. Some customers didn't pay us in time and it produced a lot of different problems. First of all, we couldn't pay our suppliers and had to get a loan which someone had to give a guarantee. Other co-workers couldn't pay their mortgages or rents. We had all ingredients to finish bad and it turned into a nightmare. Nobody thought it would have finished in that way but in my opinion, it was an experience that I wouldn't change. It helps me to value other things in my life. Some times, the worst experiences can be the best lessons.
