Mentalidad empresarial:
Clave para fortalecer y
expandir su negocio familiar
Todas las grandes empresas, empezaron como microempresas familiares.
¿Qué caracterizó en sus inicios el manejo operativo y ante todo gerencial de sus grandes gestores?
50% de las nuevas empresas se enfrentan a la insuficiente generación de ingresos, ni siquiera para permanecer sobreviviendo en el mercado. Es decir, se enfrentan a problemas financieros.
Lo primero que debe hacer el nuevo empresario es abandonar la mentalidad de “Dinero de Bolsillo” figura que se presenta cuando los ingresos de la empresa van a un fondo común para los gastos empresariales y familiares.
