Some notes.

Know the price of everything. Every moment of entrepreneur's life is making decisions of price and quality. Know the range of prices. Look into maarket capitalization of any company. Know the GDP of the countries you're connected with.

Guessing is the half of life of entrepreneur. If you obsessed with accurate numbers, you'd better be rocket engineer.

Spain is the most successful oof least ambitious countries in the world.

In business it's all about balancing content and emotions.

desperately seeking... eureka

We'll, just to start.
At my MBA studies in Instituto de Empresa (Madrid) I'm attending Martin Varsavsky's Building business workshop and decided to have another blog for tracking my entrepreneural process.

We have an assignment to develop entrepreneural project that break-evens after 5 mln of investment.

Before signing to the course I planned to present the project we have for venture lab activities, but it turned to be individual assignment and I need to analyse busines opportunity, generate idea, make financial projections and make sexy presentation to earn my peers virtual investments.

Ready, steady, go!!!
