"If I could leave a single lesson for those thinking about starting a business, don't be afraid to invest. Fear is a barrier that exists in the minds of all of us, but success only comes to those who decide to cross it. I have already gone through great challenges, and at no point did I think about giving up. On the contrary, I learned the importance of resilience and persistence. Each failure taught me to 'adjust the sails', to understand the market and to seek new opportunities, affirms

And working with what you love is, without a doubt, one of the most important pillars for lasting success. When we get involved in a project or a business that we're truly passionate about,, Our dedication goes far beyond physical effort or hours spent. We are completely immersed., connected to the mission of what we do., And that gives us a unique strength., explains Boeira
"E", of course, during the path, in case it 's wrong, The secret is to understand that failure is part of the process., and that, many times, It's a learning and a leap to success.. And the Brazilian has this claw of 'never give up' is even a motto that the people take with them and needs to be adopted in different areas of their lives, professional, staff, business and even health, how is my case, I recently beat cancer, and I'm still doing constant follow-ups., cherishing life and never giving up having more and more full health every day to continue with all the projects I have for myself and for my companies, says Boeira
