do not
[Music]
be here today in tampico
one of my houses are our decisions
not the conditions of our lives the
that determine our destiny
I want to tell you how this phrase in my
life has a very special meaning
with nine years of age
I got up every day at six
in the morning make ramis studs
soccer polished them make ramis bandages
he folded them he grabbed the jambs
football team and I put everything inside
of a suitcase
this makes sense because this happened
one hour before entering the school and
12 hours before my training
Daily with 12 hours in advance
that suitcase cia with all the passion
I armed with all the enthusiasm I understood
perfectly that I wanted to be a player
of professional soccer and it was not my mom
the one that put that suitcase together and now my mom
the one that told me I had for here or I had
for her she loved him with all her heart and
from that moment I understood that there was no
other reason than not being a player of
post-professional football I wanted it with
the heart
on June 6, thousand 998 was my first
first division match
on February 12, 2002 he played the last
I still remember the noise of the tendon
when it was torn
and I still remember six months later
when the doctor told me you will not go back
to be able to play on a soccer field
I was 22 years old is facing my
first great frustration is facing
to my first great failure and head was
filled with ideas and obviously had to
decide back the worst crisis of
Argentina in all its history to
go ahead wake up take off that backpack
of wanting to be an ITA soccer player
of making money fame success and face
with a reality for rent for the
light and pay all my problems of those
moments here in tampico
all I did was take a newspaper
and the eagerness to continue clinging to
soccer ships announced dreamed it
professional footballers are requested
injured
that task was a possibility of a
million however there were many offers
of salespeople that change
started to dial I’m going to a hotel
interviewed and they start telling me that
they want to sell home security alarms
by house door by door my options
there were not many
however he took the challenge and I trained
four weeks without gaining a single weight
without gaining a single weight
I prepared myself in such a way as that child
who put that football suitcase
and you should sell alarms a technique
perfectly controlled when I went out to
sell house to house door to door and
result should not be another success my
first day of sales in a morning I got
ten contracts ten contracts that the
best seller cost him 30 days of
work on door-to-door alarms
House for house
I returned to feel that blood go through my
body and I felt that child of 9 again
years he was carrying all his passion
bag
as I always say in the alarms
Here in Mexico I was born again the
adversities have the effect of
awaken the talents that occasionally
normal people would stay asleep and I want
tell them the story of my first
children’s soccer match children of 6
years running all behind one
ball in a field of seven players and
that was food in its essence
the only thing I have understood was that
you had to do was put
the ball under those three clubs but
those children had the innocence that if
we throw that ball for this side
we all run to that side if we throw
the balls so that the side all
we run for that side my first
decision
I had to take it when the ball
it reached my feet I was paralyzed
the only thing I saw was like in their treks
children were coming towards me I knew that I
they wanted to remove the ball and my first
decision was to turn to one side
watch my coach read their lips and
scream kicks me forward
kick forward is kicked for
ahead
transcended much beyond a field of
football that is kicked forward what
still using 39 years later to
take each of my decisions
here in tampico after a while a
multinational contact me faces a
new challenge
I’m going to another interview this time , a
gringo of two meters that is presented
as director of general electric and I
you say you have the possibility of
develop a business in Mexico and
you have the possibility that this business
detone in mexico
my only question is he was
product see in it told me offices
mobile phones will be able to understand that alarms
at least knew what it was the
first year from within that organization
of that corporate
they gave me recognition
they named the rocket of the year
never before never before has anyone
sold so many mobile offices what
it happened during the next eight years
It was exciting
in all my career that stage
I call my university start
be within that organization starts to
make decisions always attract
investment in this area and to develop
best businesses in the industry
mobile offices at the time was on
the money was for success and now what
only that I was moving in that
moment those eight years inside that
industry were exciting changes
as in all multinational and one way
very complex to do new business
they forced me to change and change
start a stage although I call my
graduation came to my house I see my
Mrs
the seat and I say I’m going to resign I’ll
to give up my income and I’m going to
give up all these comforts
waiting for your negative response the only thing
what he did was look me in the eye and say
I am the most capable person and
entrepreneur I know there’s no way
that they failed what you undertake
pressure was worse imagine or without
But it was already with better tables and
I knew where I was going and I decided not to go
money and I decided not to go for success
I decided to do business through the
values and I decided to become a man of
value as I always say on this earth
foreign
I kept reinventing myself and kept
growing
in 2011 I founded my first company in
mexico which is still competing with me
previous company
all those sales are obviously already
in a personal way and I keep growing and
developing and acting with people who
sum and keep gathering friends and
understanding that success goes for that
path
my friends ask Gonzalo what is your
luck
tell him what is your success and there is no
formulas there are no secrets in this my
way to see business is to grab
the best people with the best
attitudes and add all my stubbornness and
all my perseverance
that formula for me guarantees successes and
then I always ask myself two questions the
first question is what would happen if
what I am doing today does not serve me
morning
The truth is that I was a footballer and
enterprising employee salesman
I am a businessman, I am stubborn perseverant and
I hope I do not end up in the
qualifiers in my life to discover
me again and my second question is
why risk risks
I run them because it’s my way of following
being inside a soccer field in
my way to continue playing a game
of 90 minutes and put that goal in the
90 minute and in my way to follow
kicking forward
I remember perfectly
my mom’s hug when I got on
that the plane that brought me here to mexico
a work so strong that I knew it was not
had return for me from that moment
with everything to gain and I never saw my life
with a whole to lose
I want to invite you to join me
and think about all this way that
go through and and what do I do but and what do we
let’s ask what would have happened if I did not
I was getting on it is an airplane that brought me to Mexico
what would have happened if he did not go out and sell
door to door alarms door to door
what would have happened if not and holding on
commitment to face a new challenge
with a company that did not know everything
what happened in Mexico and what would
past if he had not given up his
dream salary to that dream job
would have happened if I had run the
risk and if you are not betting to face
new challenges
I always answered about them
bases because I’m willing to start
zero once
again again and again I am one of
many foreigners who have come to
this land to look for successes and I am one of
many foreigners who saw themselves in the
need to leave your country because the
circumstances were not favorable
I believe that the secret is precisely
in breaking new ground in finding
those opportunities in meeting with
new roads
oz and develop a new strategy not
stay paralyzed lustrales the
studs bend these see grab those
uniforms put it in the suitcase and do it
with the greatest commitment possible
with the greatest
most of france possible is not
where you are born or where you are born again is
the action of doing the one that marks the
difference
I am Gonzalo Veron was born 39 years ago
in my beloved Argentine rosary
but and here I feel proudly
made in Mexico
thank you very much
[Applause]
