"You are young and have every chance to build your own path."
Every day, people choose to buy products or services. Every day, someone makes money by choosing consumers. The choice to acquire, or not, a product or service. That sounds pretty natural, right?
So why not stop being just a consumer, to be also an entrepreneur? Flávio Augusto says in his book, "Geração de Valor 2", that you can be on both sides, you have that choice.
Your friends, co-workers, relatives, and people you do not know, they are all ready to consume.

The book, "Geração de Valor 2", emphasizes: every time you give up fighting, a part of your future disappears immediately, so remember that we reap only what we plant.
For the author of "Think and Grow Rich", Napoleon Hill the first step to becoming rich is to have a strong desire to be rich. It may seem simple, does not it? But that desire has to be a real "blood in the eye" and possess a good deal of persistence.
In the book "Happiness is Profitable", Márcio Fernandes makes clear that "there is no separation between personal and professional life, because we are the same person, unique and integrated, inside and outside of work."
As we become more efficient leaders we become better friends, parents, partners, children, neighbors, customers, citizens, and vice versa.
