Think of it as running a restaurant.
You will need to set up the menu, of course, but there’s much more to it than just food. You must decide whether you see your business as an average-but-safe franchise, as an all-round casual dining, or as a boutique bistro, And, of course, depending on that, you will need to deploy certains skills and a strategy to attract the type of clients you would love to have sitting at your place.
I will help you weigh the pros and cons of each factor to help you build a winning long-term strategy and attract the type of client that best matches your profile, skills and personality.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”9/12″][vc_column_text]With a double Degree in Translation & Interpreting and in Foreign Language Education in his back pocket, Carlos la Orden Tovar started to travel Europe and America to forge a professional career that has since been linked to Information Technology, Languages and Education.
