/Sounds like "ehm" (as in "egg") + "POO" (as in "pool") + "heh" (as in "help")/
Drive, hustle, and the determination to push through obstacles without stopping. Used in Colombia and Venezuela. Saying someone has "empuje" is recognizing their relentless, proactive energy: they do not wait for conditions to be perfect, they just find a way forward regardless of what is in the way.
“That guy has serious drive, he always finds a way to get things sorted no matter what.”
“With determination and good organization she got the whole business off the ground in under a year.”
