And you, Are you for you've given up already?
They say it any better ... the past was ever a phrase was as timely as this.
At the macro level and seeing what was expected yesterday in Spain in the International Monetary Fund (recovery not until 2011, and eye! Not say who will arrive in 2012 and a stage with 19% unemployed, ie 1 in 5 people), one need only look back to see how well we were 2, 3 or more years.
These numbers macro if you think carefully if there are things, small or large that change your life and work routine. This morning I remembered that no more than 7-8 months ago he received the order of 20-30 Business Plan monthly entrepreneurs seeking funding.
Reviewing some of them I see that many are in the state since then: the vast majority have not secured funding, if a small minority, but much less than expected, and very few have "pulled through the streets of the way" and have project since its launch.
If we were talking for months of back to the garage, and today many projects waiting for funding and that, I think that some people would have gotten under normal circumstances (though generally less so than their claims) are turning to project incubators ( will have to ride one!) that was a step that seemed forgotten or at least had a secondary trend as before if there were interesting amounts of money directly to projects Seed.
I see some entrepreneurs that have been released to the pool, who have risked and have bundled the blanket to the head with simple means. A romantic idea, but usually very difficult without a proper ho kno and an industrial partner. Lucky for them.
I see others who have gotten under the umbrella of an incubator, with a little financial support generally, getting to work and looking forward, however little and move the clock in search of better times.
Finally I also see others, some of which passed through my office and sold me his idea forward, and that they should have it largely forgotten today because some have found jobs and have forgotten about it or even otherwise, without having found their work directly forgotten.
I'm not one to judge these initiatives, each in their lives should do what interests you and find their own way, but it reminds me a bit to the situation experienced in the middle of Internet bubble. 1 year before saw with amazement as people left the financial sector bank where he worked and rode his startup, was a matter of money, yes, but frankly I think it was also a hot topic. All these people-and some more-left the sector with the bursting of the bubble. Now many others are also coming, some by more tangible opportunity outside, others simply because they have surrendered.
Why is this happening?
Because many of the projects that pass through my hands are intangible. We have an idea, we have an illusion and monetization "and will", "will be advertising." The "will come" is difficult, especially because you can not tell you there with the Venture Capital in Spain, does not work as in the USA or Northern Europe (capital little risk "pá" other, here you only buy a horse winner), and advertising can not yet and in Spain is even somewhat smaller on the internet.
It is time the ideas and sustainable businesses. It's time need not give you 100,000 euros to set up a startup, I think it is a time of natural selection, defined ... but mostly it's time to have a REAL business plan with an economic objective that allows your company is held by itself in the medium term and will not need to go to endless rounds of financing without meaning or end.
I kept thinking that you and inspire you as an example in 20-30 of international ideas without real economic model has been successful and are worth tens of millions of euros, that to you, and more from Spain, it will happen. We must find a coherent point, we need more sense than "be master of the world, begin to mount sustainable businesses with potential for medium term cash flow and be prepared for that if the situation continues to lack of liquidity can survive and move on .
And if you get it or you did it, let me recommend what Jesus says entrepreneurs Encinar acosejando very valid for 10 ideas to enjoy this situation without the "success? you can.

An old businessman, who had made a considerable fortune in Latin America, told me one day: "we at least had nowhere to escape, but the youth of today, where do they go?". And he, like almost everything he said-totally right.
The worst is that no one solution and, he does, he can not give. Recommend to all those millions of voters who are now unemployed and in his day were like flies to vote "against the war in Iraq" campaign driven by the artists (that nonsense, look who believe that artists and actors were to move altruistically something ... if they never do until there is money involved!) who go to these artists to ask themselves a livelihood, to see how they respond mega-super-subsidized by SGAE.
And eye am not in favor of the PP or any other acronym, which I doubt they have the solutions to this crisis or know how to apply.
Just a fact: more than 45% of young Asturian have had to emigrate, and this community is common to see whole villages where all its citizens are seniors or older than 50 years. The worst thing is that those who can (and must, it is their duty!) Taking action are folded arms, and nobody was falling face of shame, and no one resigns in this country ... That yes, at the time of ride salaries are the first.
Do I ask myself, no one is minimally formed that can cope with a little knowledge and common sense to all this bleeding (misspent youth, the unemployed, thousands of SMEs adrift etc .... Etc. Etc.) Are cut ? And if you have to remove any member is removed. And if you have to change our mentality changed. But someone who, at least, know clearly where diriguir his steps, and not the puppet army of fools we have in front of our economy.
Well, I just leave my cushy job as an analyst-programmer in a couple of miles from my house and with a decent salary in August last year to work myself my own future.
Now I consider myself an entrepreneur, without any external financiaciópn, only with my savings and my work.
We are in the worst macroeconomic conditions (and micro) that you never imagined you could, but if you have to work 14 hours to earn what they were earning prior to working on 8 for 14 hours. Better times lie ahead.
What if I would do the same knowing as he was going to put the picture? INSURANCE.
Greetings.
