We had the good fortune of connecting with edwin parada and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi edwin, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
the most inportant factor to my success is the ability find solutions to problems very quickly at the same pushing forward and advaancing in my busineess. but i believe there are many factors at play. like, hunger that never stops, sacrifice of whatever stand in the way of of success. patience, a good team, rational decision-making, people skills, are very inportant
What should our readers know about your business?
my dream was always to be a business man, i wanted to be in control. i want my hard work to matter, and also a legacy i can be proud of. i always had a mind for business since a young kid, i can see it all around me. i love the idea of bringing some thing new to the world, all the while helping people in the process. i learned as much as i could in high school and took every business class they had, knowing i was never going to college. and college it self is just a business. i always worked in stucco my whole life with my dad and uncles. so i did that after high school, know i can never fail in this. it was very hard work for little pay but i knew i had to start at the bottom to get the top. since i start i had ever intentions of learning everything about the business side of the business. four years in i started my first job, for the next five years i would work and started running my own business at the same time up till i got fired for the same reason and the rest is history. i had nothing holding me back. it was very hard in the beginning making sacrifices, but with rational decision making and a good team we over come all challenges.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
my favorite places will be have a carne asada with my family or fogo de chao.
