El comparte ciertas frases que todo hemos esuchado como:

YO TUVE ESA IDEA PRIMERO • ESA IDEA YA EXISTE • EMPRENDER ES PARA JÓVENES • LO INTENTÉ, PERO FUE MUY DIFÍCIL • EMPRENDERÉ CUANDO
Como ejemplos de como nos hemos llenado de mitos y paradigmas que nos vuelven cada vez más perezosos, más idealistas y menos dispuestos a enfrentar los obstáculos propios de la vida y el emprendimiento .
