Sueño Millonario: José David Hernández, Overcoming Fear
José David Hernández arrived in this country with disadvantages, but he did not let any of these defeat him to move forward.
- Sueño Millonario shares the story of José David Hernández.
- A man who came to this country at a young age and had to work and study at the same time.
- One of his most important pieces of advice has to do with fear.
José David Hernández is a Honduran who arrived when he was 19 years old. The first thing his mother told him was that he had to learn English to get a good job.
He began studying English during the day and worked at night. After a year, he started working and then opened his own business with some relatives.
It was a car painting business, as the relatives he was in business with were in that field and knew about it, but it failed.
When this happened, he saw an opportunity in the construction sector.
Finding Work Through Helping
During the time when hurricanes wreaked havoc in the United States, he saw an even greater chance in this field.
His friends advised him to move to the affected area, and that’s when he applied his knowledge and started paving his way.
Slowly, he became increasingly well-recognized, but it was when he moved to Georgia that his growth became evident.
A company offered him a contract, and he accepted. He put in a lot of effort to make it work, and he succeeded.
Gaining Confidence
When he finished that job, the same company continued to offer him more work because they really liked the quality and dedication he demonstrated.
He started his company with two employees, and now it has nine.
The company does framing, roofing, painting, and other construction-related jobs.
José David Hernández, to conclude, offers some advice that helped him in this process.
