Wilmer, what learning do you highlight from working with the Foundation?
What I highlight is the human part. The vision of the Foundation is to help companies, the seed that the Foundation planted in my company made it possible for us to grow, open new lines of business and organize our objectives.
Secondly, I relate my learnings to business. I have learned to be a better leader, to sell my services, and to express myself verbally and with my gestures to my potential clients.
What recommendations do you have for new entrepreneurs?
Don’t give up, it’s not easy being an entrepreneurial businessman. There is a tendency to idealize, but the important thing is not to lose focus and not give up despite the difficulties.
Look for a guide or advisors who have experience, this gives a push to open paths and focus on where you are going. Before the advice and advice that I have received from the Foundation, I only had two lines of business, now I have seven.
Films Dreams Colombia with the support of the Houding Foundation and in alliance with the INEM Santiago Pérez Tunal School, will begin a symphonic musical training program with an emphasis on film music in the second half of 2024. This program will be taught free of charge to children and young students of the INEM School, the town of Tunjuelito and the city of Bogotá.
