"I started by building myself as a brand, I made myself heard and known. This is why I advise those who intend to do successful business to assert themselves. The number one in a company, no matter how small that company may be, must become a PR of the company. He (she) must not stay isolated, but must work towards increasing the confidence in his (her) own business. Opportunities show up when you move, not when you stay indoors."
Ionel Lucian SERBAN, Manager of A.Cont Assistance SRL
"Pursue the excellence in everything you undertake and the benefit will come soon. Do not be afraid of obstacles. In my opinion, a person who never experienced a failure in business is not a trustworthy partner. I’ve learned mainly from mistakes, I invested and lost money because I wasn’t familiarized with the peculiarity of the business I had got into. Once I failed, I analyzed the failure and I learned lessons that subsequentrly helped me to win.".

The rest came naturally and now I am at a crossroads. The business developped so much that now I need to diversify its target markets.”
Augustin CORNEANU, Counsellor, National Authority for Scientific Research

The risk constantly exists, but the important thing is the way the entrepreneur succeeds to build the business despite the barriers and obstacles.
