I've been writing about the negatives in Venezuela regarding economy, but there are positive cases too. Just like my friend with her business "Libretas Betania"

I've been writing about the negatives in Venezuela regarding economy, but there are positive cases too. Just like my friend with her business "Libretas Betania"
1/🧵
What is Libretas Betania?
Libretas Betania started as a personalized handmade notebooks store (libretas=notebooks) and now is a whole packaging business
We have the same career, and funny enough, neither of us do what we are supposed to do with it. But she got into entrepreneurship, almost by accident, offering first her notebooks, then a client asked a box, and it started
2/?
What the audience demanded were no notebooks, of course a few like it but is not something people need a lot. But packaging is something other entrepreneurs need, and they can't have it with industries bc lack of capital
3/?
My friends offer packaging stating with just 1 box, whatever the client needs. And now she's one of the very few people doing it, and doing it right, good quality at a reasonable price
4/?
Known in our city and the neighboring one. Her familiar small business is now at the point were sooner that later will become a full business with physical location and employees to cover the demand
5/?
So Venezuela still offers opportunities to grow, people need to find their niche and put their 100% into it. The entrepreneurs of today will be the one running the market tomorrow.

Here you can read it in extension. I'm really proud of her.

"It's nice that you also mention the positive points. That shows that you are open to other perspectives.
In a dark tunnel, at the end there will always be a light!
It's good to read that whilst the economic situation in your country is still at a challenging state, some people including your friend is finding business opportunities and making it thrive. I wish her the best!
Venezuela is crazy because of that. The destruction of the current economy is opening space for new players. Like phoenix raising from ashes
Desperate times call for desperate measures they say. And it's great that the entrepreneurial spirit of your friend was awakened in the midst of the challenges your country is facing. All the best to you as you rise above them
