Debunking Business Immigration Myths: The Juan Chronicles

10 myths about US immigration_2

Myth #1: "In America, Everything’s Already Taken!"

Oh, really? If that were true, Juan wouldn’t have even bothered crossing the Atlantic. But guess what? Millions of new businesses pop up in the U.S. every year, and many are founded by immigrants. Heard of Tesla? Google? Yup, immigrant-founded. The key to success is a clear vision and a solid plan—both of which our classes can help you develop. If you’re still worried about this, check out our article "Nothing Shines for Immigrants?" and shake off that pessimism.

Myth #2: "It's Too Complicated, I Can't Do It!"

Sure, the thought of navigating U.S. immigration might make you want to crawl under a tortilla, but let’s get real. While you might not know everything, that’s what learning is for! Running a business in the U.S. is a lot like making a good paella: it’s all about getting the basics right. And trust us, those basics aren’t as daunting as they seem—especially with a few practical courses under your belt. So, ditch the fear and dive into our resources to get started.

Myth #3: "I Know Everything Already!"

Juanito was a bit too confident. He thought his success in Spain would translate to the U.S. without a hitch. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. He didn’t listen to advice, went solo, and lost both money and his shot at a green card. The lesson? Don’t put your huevos in one basket without doing your homework. We’re here to help you avoid that fate by getting you prepared before you make irreversible decisions.

Myth #4: "I Don’t Have Time for This!"

Oh, Juan, Juan, Juan… If you’re too busy to delegate, you’re too busy to succeed. Many would-be entrepreneurs think they have to be hands-on with every single aspect of their business. Truth is, sometimes it’s better to let someone else manage things while you focus on the bigger picture. If that’s you, our affiliate program might be just what you need to balance your time and success.

Myth #5: "America Has Crazy High Taxes!"

Taxes in the U.S. might seem high compared to Spain, but remember what you’re getting in return—better infrastructure, higher quality of life, and no state-sponsored “surprise” inspections. Yes, taxes are an investment in a stable future. Check out our video on this topic if you’re still feeling the pinch.

Myth #6: "I Don’t Know Anyone in America!"

Juan was worried he’d be all alone in the U.S. But guess what? Starting a business guarantees you a social circle—employees, clients, contractors, you name it. Loneliness? Not on this business trip, amigo.

Myth #7: "Money is Everything!"

Sure, money helps, but it’s not the be-all and end-all. If you’ve got smarts, you can attract co-investors who’ll bring the cash while you bring the brains. Think of it as the perfect tapas plate—everyone contributes something to make it great.

Myth #8: "I’ll Be Seen as a Second-Class Citizen!"

Newsflash: jerks exist everywhere. But most people in the U.S. couldn’t care less about where you’re from. They’re more interested in what you bring to the table. And if your English isn’t perfect, don’t sweat it. What matters is your willingness to improve and adapt.

Myth #9: "Now’s Not a Good Time!"

Waiting for the “perfect” time? That’s like waiting for siesta during a bullfight—it’s never going to happen. The truth is, the sooner you understand the immigration process, the better your chances of success. Don’t delay; start planning today.

Myth #10: "Money Grows on Trees in America!"

Well, kind of. There’s plenty of money to be made, but it doesn’t just fall into your lap—you’ve got to hustle for it. With a massive market and relatively easy regulations, if you’ve got the right skills, you can tap into a geyser of opportunity. Just be ready to climb the tree first!
