If you don’t trust yourself, who do you expect to do it?
Si no confías en ti, ¿quién esperas que lo haga?
One of the big questions people ask themselves before venturing into entrepreneurship is: Am I capable of achieving it? And I say: But in the jobs where they are currently working, aren’t they looking for capable and prepared people? Why does a company pay them a salary every month? The problem is just one: confidence. Our most precious asset is time. Sadly, most people trade the best and most productive years of their lives for a monthly amount simply because they don’t want to take on the risk that entrepreneurship entails, not realizing that, in the end, these same companies end up letting them go.
As my good friend Borja De La Plaza would say: “Like a trained dog.” Allow me to say something: It is very difficult to go out into the world at a certain age to make a living in a forest full of wolves after being accustomed to a guaranteed paycheck at the end of the month. The effort you put into your jobs today is infinitely greater than what you’ll need in your own business. Do you know why? Because in your own business, you’ll work more hours, but simply knowing that what you’re building belongs to you will turn it into a pleasure.
Who really believes that things don’t change or that there is a magic formula to avoid risk? The reality is that many times we prefer not to think, not to see reality, trying to find the greatest short-term stability without realizing that we are postponing a problem… and do you know what? When problems are not solved in time, they always arise at the worst moment. Each individual is perfect for something. Each of us has something we do better than anyone else. We must try to discover that passion, that art we all have, to develop our potential around it.
If one doesn’t trust oneself, who do they expect to do so? Launch yourself! Get the best tools to work. Treat yourself as what you are: "the best talent in your own venture." It’s absolutely proven that when a boss grants us their trust, we grow and become more efficient. Give yourself that vote of confidence! Who can trust in our capabilities more than we can? The world belongs to the brave!
