Life in action!

Time magazine named Fernando Espuelas "Leader of the New Millennium," while others called him "Latin America's Bill Gates." Born in Uruguay, Fernando immigrated to the United States with his mother in 1976 at the age of nine. He arrived in the country with nothing and without speaking a word of English. At 33, he founded StarMedia Network, an electronic media empire that brought the internet to Latin America. Two years later, he became a famous and successful multimillionaire businessman. However, when the internet bubble burst, he lost everything and went bankrupt. Contrary to what many would have thought, Espuelas didn't back down from StarMedia Network's bankruptcy and created VOY, a Hispanic-American multimedia entertainment company targeting Latinos living in the United States. In "Voy in Action!", the entrepreneur tells this story of overcoming obstacles and presents the twelve basic principles he followed to rise from the rubble left after the bubble burst—an action plan that serves as inspiration for changes in both his personal and professional life. For the author, life is a journey—hence the name of his new company ("voy" means "I go" in Spanish). "You can be a passenger, passively accepting what each day brings, or be an active explorer, following your own vision and creating your own happiness and success. By experiencing the VOY principles I describe in this book, you will be on the path to self-fulfillment," explains Espuelas. "Voy in Action!" chronicles the journey of this immigrant who learned early on that achieving success and building a promising future depended solely on himself. Divided into twelve chapters, the book presents stories about people who have impacted the author's life and accounts of extraordinary leaders such as Winston Churchill and John F. Kennedy. Each of the principles described by Fernando Espuelas will serve as inspiration for the reader to begin a path towards an entirely new life, free from doubts and excessive worries.
