Business creation, which already increased in Spain in 2012, continued to grow in 2013. This is great news! Some may believe that creating, growing and making sustainable and profitable a business is easy, but it is a small miracle that encompasses different processes all working harmoniously to sell products or services to customers. And this, while constantly adapting to the new vicissitudes of the market: new customer demands, global competitors and new regulations. Many are also those who do not succeed. One of the big keys is to have a good team of motivated professionals working in coordination and well led by someone who helps them to improve professionally and to achieve compliance with mission statement of the organization. And that someone is an entrepreneur or a general director .

So when you see an entrepreneur or a manager, don't think of them as someone who steals from business. The vast majority are honest. Nor think of them as someone who earns an excessive salary (perhaps higher than yours, but most are normal), but rather as someone who financial aid creates jobs work and wealth for society and, in particular, for the environment in which they work.

People who have been trained to create and manage companies or perhaps have been promoted for their worth and effort and who seek to do well their work dedicating, in most cases, many more than forty hours of work a week. The businessman or manager has no choice but to think about the business because of the high responsibility he has, not only before the shareholders, but also before the workers of his business, his customers, his suppliers and everyone with whom his organization is related.

director Therefore, when you see a businessman or the general manager of a business, thank him and encourage him to continue doing things well, to work hard, with creativity and innovation, thinking about the growth of his organization, surrounding himself with talented and committed people, making this small miracle that is a business, continue to grow because it is based on companies, good companies, that a country can grow and improve the quality of life of its citizens.
