Bernd Schuster would say, “It's not necessary to say anything else”.

The truth is that the approach “dinosaur” It is usually preferred by banks when giving credits. solid companies, often family, they have not introduced excessive changes in its internal and external approach. Everything goes well until a recession tremble for not having been able to adapt to changes.

Focus visionary It is feared by banks. It is very stable people that risks own money and that of others in a project, at the moment, no market. No matter what guarantees there is behind the project and the preparation of its entrepreneurs. Banks play it safe. ¿Capital risk? in Spain is a substitute for what happens in other OECD countries.

The entrepreneur visionary must break many barriers before break through and launch your business. The first is financial, but for more. The chances of success just move on 25% ROI in the third year. But if you exceed this phase, the visionary has succeeded in creating one of the best bargains you can think. Who follows her gets her.

An interesting example of visionaries is Power Balance, based on a bracelet with a MYLAR hologram in which a frequency has been stored from natural materials known for their beneficial effects to the body. Imagine the founder of Power Balance asking for a BBVA credit (sorry, It is not personal) to create your business. Still they would be laughing at him. In America-particularly in California- everything is possible, and that the capital risk They did not hesitate to bet on the idea. They matched and won.

What happens to us every beginning of the year, or just after the summer? Which often took advantage of this circumstance to draw a Personal objectives. There are many types:

  • From health: slimming x kilos, point us to a gym, 10Km running gear, a balanced diet, give up smoking, do yoga…
  • family: dating, decide on a date for the wedding, pose a divorce, change habits, have a child, adopt a child…
  • cultural: read 4 books a month, see all movies in VO, Go to theater every month, travel every two months, finishing school, create a blog…
  • From leisure: go out to dinner every Wednesday, friends gather once a month, buy a LCD projector…
  • Professionals: improve positions in the company, find a job, change job, get a transfer, undertake…

If you also want that these objectives are met, write them. Nothing is more usual to see how time passes and how those goals will not ever come to fruition. Must write, even on a paper napkin. And you have to read every week, see progress, see what's wrong and fix the target, but without abandoning. In other words, draw up a plan, without templates, without rigidities, a map.

In other words, How do we manage our online presence?

Your name on Google what does?

We have found several cases among customers with our Personal Branding

  • In a case, the character appeared only in a legal dispute over ago 10 years for a bad debt (then it was satisfied, but that does not reflect the net)
  • In other, we find that the character had a false “other me” created by a third party LinkedIn. Obviously, impossible to find the keys and passwords to eliminate the fraudulent account.
  • In many cases, the characters appear only in golf competitions listings, fell, windsurf. Something not usually help a lot when it comes to finding work or look for clients.
  • In cases of younger people, It is common to see the name associated with unedifying phrases MySpace or Facebook, related parties, sex…
  • But in the vast majority of cases we see that what appears on Google has not been managed by the person concerned. The network has been commissioned to mark their preferences.

How to avoid it? An easy answer would be to hire one brander staff (management consultant personal brand or personal branding). But in general lines, It is to apply some common sense. Not engage in phrases that have boomerang effect. Avoid full conflict. Generate positive news. Use Twitter It is a good recommendation. They are short sentences (type SMS, of 140 up to characters 280) that help position the person with a particular field.
