INTERVIEW LLA: What would you advise to young entrepreneurs who are just taking the first steps in the field of concierge services? CB: I would give a few tips in a general way: Challenge – it is the biggest motivation to continue your challenges and where you can learn many things every day. Work with what interests you and what you want. There is no doubt that running a business takes a long time, but the only way to be satisfied in life is to do a business in which you truly believe. Take the risk. Trust yourself. Have a vision for what you need to live your life. Look for good people around you. Face your fears. Take action when needed. Know your goals. Learn from mistakes. Spend the winnings wisely. For Concierge Services: Concierge service providers are trained professionals, often with years of experience and well-developed industry network relationships. The advantage of this vast vault of local knowledge is that concierges can handle an ever-increasing range of services from mundane tasks such as restaurant reservations, to extraordinary requests such as arranging a private jet to compensate for a missed flight.
