One of the subjects I have been writing about in this blog of An Entrepreneur –actually it is one of our categories-, is Strategic Internet. With Strategic Internet we mean that our Internet presence must not exist randomly but it must be part of a strategy that will seek some objectives. Big and medium companies –even if they do not …

I’ve been an independent worker for the last 5 years, and this is the second stint in my life I do this. I love being an independent and I’ve been offered several well-paid jobs during this time and I’ve always rejected them.
