Business lessons from a prominent Italian
entrepreneur 

• While everyone has an individual path and route
  to success, many famous entrepreneurs have
  reiterated the same basic advice when developing
  your ideas. In this blog post, Jole Figliomeni,
  an Italian entrepreneur, offers business wisdom
  that may make it easy to start your
  entrepreneurial journey.
• Here are five principles you should follow when
  youre trying to get a new entrepreneurial
  project underway, as shared by Jole Figliomeni.

• Seek Out New Opportunities
• Waiting for someone to tell you what to do
  wont lead you to success. Sometimes you need to
  actively ask. Often, there are more opportunities
  available than you might initially think, and you
  need to take the step of putting yourself out
  there. Are there local resources out there? Is
  there someone to mentor you? Maybe no one has
  thought to do what youre doing before!

• Build a Good Team
• Its crucial to appreciate the talents of
  other people. Nobody runs a business alone, and a
  good entrepreneur will seek out others with
  particular talents. Look at the people around you
  not just your parents and teachers but also
  neighbors, friends, and even other entrepreneurs.
  What special skills do they have that could help
  you? A good leader also knows how to delegate,
  which can also help you keep your own talents and
  limitations in perspective.

• Be Creative
• Not every creative idea will be feasible, but
  development in technology and many other sectors
  is heavily driven by people who are able to think
  of new ways to do things in an innovative manner.
  Learn how to stimulate your brain and tap into
  your new ideas constructively and productively.

• Keep Learning
• Entrepreneurs must always stay on top of new
  developments in their fields. Being stuck in one
  place or not staying up to date on new
  information and skills will likely mean youll be
  left behind. This learning doesnt have to be
  limited. Do online research, take a course, and
  connect with people working in these fields.

6

•  Dont Be Afraid to Take Risks
• Almost every new undertaking involves some
  degree of risk, and you wont find success
  without taking a chance. You cant protect
  yourself entirely from the possibility of failure
  and often the road to success is paved with
  failures along the way. Failure is essential to
  learn and prepare yourself for success the next
  time. So, you may as well enjoy the ride.

• Learn from your failures
• The most vital life lesson entrepreneurs can
  teach you is that failure isn't necessarily bad.
  It shouldn't be the end of your entrepreneurial
  efforts. It shouldn't dissuade you from pursuing
  your other life goals either. In fact, failure
  should serve as a lesson and help you make better
  choices in the future.
