What strategies did you use to get through them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An entrepreneur&rsquo;s life isn&rsquo;t exactly a bowl of cherries!&nbsp;<br \/>\nMy first big challenge came when I went from being a consulting engineer to a rebar subcontractor. Instead of having a direct relationship with the customer, I was now dealing with many general contractors, where the subcontractor&rsquo;s voice is not always heard. It was no longer in an individual dynamic, so I had to become adaptable. Rebar is all about teamwork!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The other big challenge has been dealing with both good times and bad. Like any company, we have gone through complicated phases, in which there was little activity. On the other hand, as surprising as it might sound, it is also difficult to manage an overflowing order book, which means you face issues such as labour shortages, productivity, inventory management, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To get through tough times and surmount obstacles, you have to keep a cool head regardless of the circumstances, have confidence in yourself, as well as great confidence in your teams!&nbsp;<br \/>\nIf you don&rsquo;t have a united team behind you, you won&rsquo;t weather the storm.&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-2245.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>LOS DESAF&Iacute;OS DE UN EMPRESARIO<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cada mes, los lectores de La Red pueden enviarme sus preguntas sobre la historia, los proyectos, la implicaci&oacute;n social, los desaf&iacute;os o cualquier otro tema relacionado con Grupo AGF.<\/p>\n<p>No dude en enviarme sus preguntas a:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:communication@agfgroup.com\">communication@agfgroup.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Este mes, seleccion&eacute; la pregunta de Leonel Dominique (T&eacute;cnico de N&oacute;mina).<\/p>\n<p><strong>&iquest;Cu&aacute;les son los m&aacute;s grandes desaf&iacute;os que ha enfrentado durante su carrera? &iquest;Qu&eacute; estrategias puso en pr&aacute;ctica para superarlos?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La vida de un empresario &iexcl;dista mucho de ser un camino llano y tranquilo!<\/p>\n<p>El primer gran desaf&iacute;o para m&iacute; fue pasar de asesor de ingenier&iacute;a a contratista en acero de refuerzo. Tuve que pasar de una relaci&oacute;n directa con el que otorga el trabajo a una relaci&oacute;n con muchos empresarios generales en la cual la voz del contratista no es siempre escuchada. Ya no estaba en una din&aacute;mica individual, as&iacute; que tuve que demostrar mucha adaptabilidad. &iexcl;El acero de refuerzo es un trabajo en equipo!<\/p>\n<p>El otro gran desaf&iacute;o es tener que enfrentar los periodos buenos y los malos. Como toda empresa, tuvimos que pasar a trav&eacute;s de fases complicadas, durante las cuales la actividad no era muy grande. Por el contrario, aunque parezca sorprendente, la abundancia en el registro de pedidos tambi&eacute;n es dif&iacute;cil de administrar, ya que nos enfrentamos a problemas relacionados con la mano de obra, la productividad, la gesti&oacute;n de existencias, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Para lograr pasar a trav&eacute;s de los periodos complicados y superar los obst&aacute;culos, hay que mantener la cabeza fr&iacute;a en todas las circunstancias, tener confianza en s&iacute; mismo, &iexcl;y tambi&eacute;n tener una gran confianza en sus equipos!<\/p>\n<p>Sin un equipo de soldado alrededor de usted, no podr&iacute;a atravesar ninguna tormenta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every month, readers of The Network can send me their questions about our history, projects, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":46361,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[217],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-interest"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46366"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58518,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46366\/revisions\/58518"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
