Andrés Portillo, a speaker from Mexico, recounts a personal business mistake: prioritizing external success (possessions and outside investments) over inner balance. He describes becoming very sick and stressed until he refocused on his own wellbeing, concluding that personal balance and a healthy relationship with oneself are prerequisites for business success. The clip includes his website (andresportillo.com) and functions as a short motivational reflection.

Hello, I'm Andres Portillo. I'm from Mexico. My webpage is andresportillo.com and the biggest mistake I commit during my years where I was opening business was thinking that my success was about having things and investing outside. So I was very sick, stressed, and everything started collapsing till I came back to me. I realized that if I'm well, if I'm balanced inside, then everything will balance outside. So if you want to have a successful business, you have to have a successful life and a successful relationship with yourself.
