Andrea is 35 years old and she is an entrepreneur from the town of La Madrid. She attempted to start a brewery bar many years ago, but it was unsuccessful, resulting in significant financial losses and a difficult recovery.
She decided to participate in the entrepreneurship workshops because she needed new sources of income, but she was very afraid of failing again. The entrepreneurship workshops helped her recognize the mistakes she had made in the past with the brewery. She learned to evaluate opportunities and challenges in the context and decided to invest in a holistic store where she began selling incense, essential oils, crafts, among other products.
Andrea says that, thanks to her participation in the workshop, she was able to find the confidence she needed to start a business again, now with more information to reduce risks.
She is currently very successful with her holistic store, having been working on it for six months, and has managed to expand the range of products and include holistic therapy services for her clients.
