We speak with Ivan Alario, a young man who has tried to work twelve (12) hours without feeling useful until deciding to undertake. University studies and languages. The new working generation.
What is the motivation to undertake?
I prefer to work for myself and feel fulfilled as a person. I am not satisfied with working with paid stability. I prefer to be happy with what I like to do. Also, working eight hours, five days a week, is exhausting on the mind because of how the jobs are designed.
In my case, as a freelancer, I work 2 hours at the table, I do sports for 2 hours, I do 2 hours of classes for my students and that is how I manage my time. Maybe I work more, to get a salary at the end of the month. The times when I need to rest my mind, activate my energies, my body ... I do them in my concept of how I have to be more productive.
Time management
I cannot be in a monotony and loop of hours for the same salary, without evolution as a person. It saturates me and does not help me to discharge what has accumulated. I can't settle for working this way. I have tried and it is not a fit for rebellion.
Jobs don't motivate you?
In my experience, I have been working twelve (12) hours without doing anything. Without feeling fulfilled. That's not for me. Working without understanding or participating in depth, detail, and why… is not for me.
I have had a generation in which on the internet you see how others work and undertake with the ideas of freedom and happiness that you understand is part of the minimum to be a person. If others can, I want that for myself.
On the internet we see others working creating their own world of freedom, management and happiness. I want that for myself.
How do you see the entrepreneurial world?
There are very good ideas. Very viable ideas. You can create something on something established and look for an optimization. We have great opportunities right now to undertake.
Is it the first time you start?
No. I was caught by the pandemic. We had to close. It is not the best year with so much change. Then add, that many people if you do badly to undertake, understand that this is the normal thing that should have happened to you. If you do well, they already dislike you because you are getting out of the loop of being a salaried worker. We are living in difficult times.
It is not the best year to undertake. They stop us. They condition us. Much change.
What training are you doing to undertake?
Now you pay for everything if you want to have good knowledge. In the end, what it does is delay people.
Who is helping you to undertake?
I am looking for people who know about the subject. Maybe I don't know what the state provides. I am looking for life. I ask for advice, I seek opinions. Of course, having your family support me is very important. We are all afraid. If you don't bill what you need to cover your expenses for a month, what do you do? We are all afraid.
The people I know tutor me. I live asking. Experimenting.
It also helps me when they say no. Before the pandemic, I was going to set up a gym. They told me that it was not the time and it made me feel very bad, because sport is my passion. Two months later it was confinement and to be told no, it is also to feel that they are helping me.
It helps me when they say no. We are all afraid to undertake.
