Description
William, son of Hector, a successful businessman in the food trade and distribution business. Pampered and accustomed to doing just what he wants, has lived abroad for a few years at the expense of his father, but needs to return to face the death of the patriarch and then that of his mother. Between one loss and another, the young man suffers an accident while surfing and significantly compromises his spine. All of this in less than three months. The boy, determined to be a winner on the waves, is faced with the reality he has always tried to escape from: managing his father's business. That's when the protagonist needs to be resilient. Because he was not interested in business, he had no preparation or education to take care of the family empire that was experiencing financial difficulties. Some questions begin to emerge throughout the narrative: How to give up your own dream and take care of business that you were never interested in? How can you forgive your father and yourself for the accusations that the two often exchanged? How to deal with employees and manage people? How to win the trust and respect of employees? From start to finish, the reader will be able to put himself in William's place and discover for himself the answer to some dilemmas common to all people. It is a fact of life: decisions must be made. Whether right or wrong, it is not possible to know at the beginning, only at the end when, in most cases, very little or almost nothing can be changed.
