From Slave to Businessman: How Did I Create My Own Company

By Franklin Díaz Lárez

This is the narration of the journey of a desperate man, who is in search of solutions to his multiple economic problems.
After a long process of self-critical reflection, he decides to leave his job to create his own company. And he succeeds, not without first overcoming dozens of obstacles, setbacks and stumbling blocks.
A book written in the form of entertaining and, at times, with funny stories, which describes the steps to follow in the world of entrepreneurship, based on the experiences of its protagonist.
Away from didactic, rigid or academic descriptions, it tells a peculiar story in which its main character is overcoming important and implacable obstacles, until finally arriving at the long-awaited financial independence.
A pleasant way to know how to set up a business and create a source of your own income, putting yourself in the shoes of another who has already achieved it.
This book is dedicated to those who wish to definitely liberate themselves from the yoke of the modern forms of labor slavery of our time, and from the cruel and dramatic uncertainty of unemployment.

No exit

The concept of intelligence

When nothing works

Wherever life builds walls, intelligence opens a way out

(Marcel Proust)

There was a day when I said: I can't take it anymore! It was comprehensible that this was the case. I had crossed all the limits of my desperation. Hundreds, maybe thousands of hours dedicated to the particular job of finding a job were lost. Precious time of my life, wasted. None of my countless strategies and multiple efforts for finding a job had worked at all. And all the arguments to give me strength and courage to keep looking had vanished. They just disappeared. I was feeling like the lonely castaway, abandoned to his luck in the middle of a huge ocean, who no matter how hard he tried to find land on the horizon, he just sees day after day pass, one after another, without getting any results. There comes a time in which hope, no matter how much you try to keep it, just vanishes.

You try to not reach a state of anguish or desperation, but you can't help it. The needs of your family can't wait anymore. You can't just go to the supermarket and tell the cashier that you will pay her another day because, right now, you don't have a job. You can't say to the companies of light, water or trash collectors that you can't pay for their services and ask them to not charge you right now because you can't pay them, simply as that. What you do is fill yourself up with debts, start asking for borrowed money everywhere, and try to extend the fulfillment of your obligations

Particularly, it happened to me that the more I was anguished and desperate, the worse things went. It was as if some invisible law of nature returned to me that state of consternation in negative results, and with it, more anguish, more despair. It was a vicious circle that was killing my nerves and, consequently, my mental health.

I couldn’t continue like this.

≪And now, what should I do?≫I thought. ≪I will have to do something. There has to be a solution.≫

A lot of people, in similar situations, spend their time looking for culprits; the system, the politicians, the cruelty of the businessmen, the capitalism, the conjunction of the stars, the tides, the moon, the evil eye, avocado sellers, etc. You can blame everything about what happens to you when you can’t find the solution to your problems.

I don’t know how much responsibility will have other people in regards of what happens to me, if they do have any. I don’t know and I have never worried to find out. It has never occurred to me to think in something like that to justify my bad luck. Every time that I have had a problem, I’ve tried to think on a solution, not the causes that originated it on the first place. I have only thought about it as long as I have believed that by doing so it would help me somehow to find the solution.

If I wake up one day and notice that I have a sore on my leg, I don’t focus my attention on the mosquito that stung me, causing that injury, or the lack of insecticide and mosquito nets in my room, or in the injury itself; I focus on how am I going to cure it. Then I think on everything else. But first it’s the solution.

It’s a matter of ways of thinking.

I remember that once someone
