"You always have to bear in mind that undertaking is a journey of one step forward and two steps back." Here's how Brian Halligan, Hubspot's co-founder and CEO, summed up his entrepreneurial experience in his talk at Entrepreneur Masters this week.

One of the entrepreneurs behind one of the most important digital marketing companies in the world and creator of the inbound marketing concept spoke with me as part of his participation in INCmty about how it was for him to start a business during the dotcom bubble and how his business is adapting its business model amid the pandemic.

"I never thought I would start a company. Before Hubspot I had joined two startups that did very well and then went to business school. I didn't plan on starting a company, but I met the perfect co-founder for me and we complemented each other perfectly. and I think we still do, " Halligan told Entrepreneur en Español . " And we had a good idea. We had a very good idea! The time was right. It wasn't very obvious at first. I had other options coming out of business school and I weighed the risk and value of each. Opening a company It was the riskiest, but also the one that had the most value in terms of impact and fun. So I forgot about caution and did it. "
