Drawing from her own experience with almost 15 years of being an entrepreneur, she emphasized the importance of fostering an environment that cherishes both stability and innovation.  Onahira Rivas's compelling narrative underscored the need for small businesses to embrace change, leverage technology, and cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset to thrive in today's rapidly evolving landscape.

Her strategic approach not only resonated with aspiring entrepreneurs but also offered valuable insights for established businesses seeking to reignite their entrepreneurial spirit.

Merging Small Business & Startup Philosophy

Nonetheless, there are several compelling strategies that both can bring to the table; for example, startups are great at branding, scalability, technology, vision—the bigger picture, and design. On the other hand, small businesses excel at customer service, relationship building, sales, launching sooner, and follow through.

Therefore, the recommendation for entrepreneurs is to keep the best of both models, merging them and squeezing a valuable output philosophy that can be adjusted and deployed in your business.

In her concluding remarks, Onahira emphasized the imperative for small businesses to embrace innovation as a fundamental step towards propelling their enterprises to new heights. By fostering a culture of innovation, small businesses can harness their entrepreneurial spirit to unlock new opportunities, differentiate themselves from competitors, and excel in the 21st-century business world.
