The new 'Beer Gates'

I was reading today's newspaper and... what a surprise! My friend Eduardo Sacristán leads the cover page of Diario Información and therefore, I cannot do less than write this small article in order to let you know what he has done.

Eduardo Sacristán started his own beer company (Cerveza Artesana Sacristán) a few months ago and now it's a complete success! As Google founders' Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Sacristán started his company in a family garage where he produces monthly 900 liters of premium high quality beer 'Amber Ale'.

Hard to believe, but true. I had the opportunity of tasting the beer months ago, when it was just an idea and If I were asked to put money to support the excentric idea of founding a new beer company I would have said 'no' but fortunatly someone did.

Congratulations, my friend!

Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development (FIELD)

In these times of global recesion and lack of employment, creative minds should take the initiative and move on self-employment.

 

If you are a Tiger and you feel that now, in your city, region or country you feel you cannot give your best, probably it's time to think twice about self-employment.

 

Just have a look on what Harvard Business School is including in their MBA programme:

 

“Learning by doing” will become the norm, if a radical overhaul of the MBA curriculum succeeds."

"The 900 students arriving in Boston this summer for their two-year course were told they would be guinea pigs. The new practical addition to HBS’s curriculum is known as “FIELD” (Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development)"

"...students will be given eight weeks, and seed money of $3,000 each, to launch a small company. The most successful, as voted by their fellow students, will get more funding. "

8 weeks and 3,000 $... Can you do the same with 3,000 € in your city?

If you feel now like a tiger in jail, with no future in your actual brand or if you're unemployed, think about it.

Entrepreneurship as a need

The time is over: XX century managers have shown themselves they aren't up to date to the new century. The last few years are the prove they cannot adapt themselves and their organisations to the new business model and therefore, create jobs and be competitive with emerging economies.

We, as young and well-prepared professionals, have the need to become entrepreneurs and stop waiting for an employment position in a brand.

What are you going to do?
