Like you, they had ideas and, with the help of Autoocupació, were able to realize them and start their own businesses. Perhaps one of them will inspire you.
“Professionally, being able to use my experience to help others has been very valuable. On a personal level, I think it has made me grow: the return you get is important.”
“Being able to share my experience in a new project has allowed me to give back part of what I received from my references. It has been very rewarding!”
“Professionally the Autoocupació service has allowed me to see how in such difficult times there are people with drive and desire to bet on their ideas. Personally, the experience has given me a great enrichment of the soul”.
“Thanks to mentoring, you feel accompanied and supported, you have someone who, in their experience, makes you see things from another point of view, helps you focus on what is really important and organize yourself much better.”
“First, think carefully about what you want to do and think about the ideas you have in mind to find the best approach for each of them and be able to discard the ones you don’t like. Let them rest for a few days, and re-evaluate them, because you will improve them.
Second, eliminate frustration when things don’t turn out. Not everything can go well and getting started is complicated. Take every mistake as an opportunity for improvement, never as a failure, because every mistake is a new learning, and that is very valuable.
Work, work, work and have close people who helps you, such as the experience and knowledge of a mentor. Find people with whom to collaborate and generate synergies. You never know where a new opportunity may appear.
Entrepreneurship can be very hard, but the freedom it gives to you is worth it”.
“The beginning of any project is hard and enriching at the same time. The idea is the least important of all, oddly enough. The important thing is the action and putting it into practice, as well as the validation of the idea. What better way than to do it accompanied by someone who has been there before?”
“Participating as a mentor in Autoocupació has been a very rewarding experience, especially in SOS Mentoring, as I have helped to create possibilities and reinvent businesses. I have grown as a person and a professional”.
“Being a mentor has allowed me to meet new projects of entrepreneurs with the desire and enthusiasm to grow their companies and I have been able to reflect on my own business”.
“Being a mentor makes you get out of your daily routine and open your eyes to new realities or to different realities. It is also an intellectual challenge, because you mentor projects that are not related to your day-to-day life. It makes you leave your comfort zone.”
