Opening a Business at 19; The Full Breakdown with Marco Cabrera

The power of choice is always in one’s hands. However, this is still the most difficult decision to make, especially as a teenager. It is a make or break period that is surrounded by so much peer influence in social life. He was so busy embracing his vision and began to create his first business. His first steps in the lucrative entrepreneurial field were so fascinating.

Every journey of a thousand miles always starts with a single step, and anyone wishing to follow the same action, victory, and success belongs to him/her. However, success never comes easy. At times the journey isn’t a bed of roses, but its fruits are sweet. You ought to be prepared for a few challenges along the way. Marco conquered these challenges in a most excellent way that can only depict a prepared mind in action. It was doing ordinary things in a most extraordinary and organized manner with complete trust in the Almighty God. Marco is an icon today and a mentor to the upcoming young teenagers and entrepreneurs.

Problems in the First Year of Business

Funding was the first significant blow towards Marcos business plans and ideas. The ideas he had were excellent and impressive, but to fund them and ignite them to be a flaming tangible business was a mountain to climb. Marco also did not have the tools we have today. There was no google and so much info to start a business as there is now. I was literally shooting from the Hip to make something out of nothing. Now a days you can google “how to start a business” and get guided step by step. Back then there wasn’t any help you had to figure it out yourself.

At some point, he felt stuck and almost gave up, but a little voice kept beckoning him, “keep it on! The future is bright! Never give up!”A ray of hope kept fanning his vision. Everyone he met, he would share with them to find help. Lucky enough, Marco finally met an old-time friend who was then a loan officer who put him in the front line of his bunch of mortgage buddies.

He presented his business idea more courageously and boom! Another problem beheld. Marco had no business plan; neither did he have a proposal. It actually dawned on him that day that an idea without a plan is like a river without a source. This truth became an awakening call that saw him put up the business plan very fast. He understood too well that any time an opportunity shows up, grab it! Marco had just realized that the ‘clouds’ had begun to gather and that soon it would ‘rain’- the rain of success.

Overcoming the Obstacles

Giving up is the real definition of failure! Marco never gave up; neither did he allow himself to give up. He kept high his spirit and knew very well that battles are meant to be fought. That was indeed the battle. He believed in himself. The more the raging storms became tough, the stronger and more confident he became. Marco remained steady and ensured he is always above the winds. Through the harsh storms, he learned how to solve problems that even saw him become a problem solver.

As fate may dictate, problems will always come, but will we watch and see the difficulties ravage our vision? Alternatively, will we sit and begin worrying about our issues? Will we forever remain slaves? Never! His focus remained on being a problem solver and making bitter water sweet. So yes indeed, battles were conquered, enemies defeated, visions achieved and great heights are still being achieved. Viva!

Doing the Right Things Differently

Patience, persistence, and passion became the fuel for the hero. He never lost faith. He fought the battle and kept the faith catalyzed it with hope and love. Tracing back in his early days, as he grew up, he hadn’t been so rooted or planted in the church as he is today. The visions of success always received a backup of prayers and an inner feeling that God has a unique plan for him and his household. This assurance is what kept fanning his dream, igniting it to an explosive journey of success that can now be seen and appreciated by all.

The strong belief in God is all we need. Job in the bible trusted God even in the most challenging situation of his life. He still believed the LORD, who made him hopeful to regain all he had lost. He tattooed the fourth verse of the psalm in his chest as a remembrance that true blessings from the LORD and his vindication will always follow those with clean hands. Doing ordinary things more extraordinary with God taking the first position has seen Marcos walking the path of success.

Conclusion

Age is just a number that shouldn’t limit one’s ability. You can use today’s challenges to becoming tomorrow’s challenge solver. With honesty, trustworthiness, and determination, one can achieve their dreams with God as the dream director. Marco Cabrera has the secret that can be embraced with young people to attain their goals. So even to the old, it is not over until it is over. Just remember that age is only a number. Marco Cabrera has made it, and you too can be on your way to success.
