Georgia Client: Alvaro Ramirez
Alvaro Ramirez, originally from Mexico, embarked on a journey to the United States 19 years ago with the aspiration of creating a better life for himself. After gaining valuable experience in various construction-related roles, Alvaro took a courageous leap of faith in 2007 and ventured into entrepreneurship. In 2010, Rams Construction was born, quickly establishing itself as a reputable company offering a wide range of services, including renovations, roofing, siding, decks, carpentry, and more.
What truly sets Rams Construction apart is not only the exceptional quality of their work but also Alvaro’s remarkable personal journey and innovative business approach. Drawing from past experiences and learning from mistakes, Alvaro has emerged as a natural leader within the construction industry. He meticulously manages budgets and has successfully transitioned from hands-on work to a strategic administrative role. This growth mindset and unwavering commitment to continuous improvement have been instrumental in Rams Construction’s ongoing success.
In April 2023, the Georgia Hispanic Construction Association recommended Alvaro to seek assistance from Prospera to further advance his business. Through dedicated and personalized consulting sessions, Prospera has provided invaluable guidance, support, and expertise. Alvaro is now learning about digital marketing strategies and the importance on a strong online presence, refining his networking skills, and implementing effective business management practices. These efforts are contributing to the progress, sustainability, and growth of Rams Construction.
Today, Alvaro has successfully delegated all manual labor to his dedicated employees, enabling him to fully focus on efficiently managing the administrative aspects of his business. This newfound balance allows him to maximize productivity and drive Rams Construction to new heights.
Alvaro’s transformative entrepreneurial journey was sparked by the challenges he faced during the 2007 recession. Overcoming these hurdles played a pivotal role in shaping Alvaro’s mindset and fueling his unwavering determination to build a business that surpasses expectations. When asked to provide advice to fellow Hispanic entrepreneurs, Alvaro emphasizes the importance of conquering fear and finding genuine joy in their work. He encourages others to embrace their inherent leadership potential, unencumbered by doubts or limitations imposed by external forces.
