"The first key to the success of Garantia, and of each business that the 3G partners have run since, is what they call creating a big dream. A big dream is important because it brings everyone together; everyone is connected with the same higher cause. But the dream must be attainable, and then, when the dream is achieved, a company needs to evolve and find another goal to achieve."
