Trust in Your Capabilities

Trust in yourself and your capabilities. Sometimes it may feel more secure to have a job with a big company, but in reality you're at the whim of so many other factors--the market, your boss, your boss's boss, etc. When you trust in yourself, you control your fate more than you might realize.

Have Confidence and Act

Have the confidence to just go for it!

Pursue What Makes You Happy

The one message that I would like to give every rising entrepreneur is to do what makes them happy in life. Life is too short to be wasted in thinking – I can’t. It is too short to be wasted in thinking what others will say or feel. Life is too short to criticize yourself. And absolutely too short to be lived in fear. With a blink of an eye things go past – and it’s important to just keep doing what you love. I believe the secret to success for every entrepreneur is to love doing something so much, that it doesn’t even feel like work. Every day should look exciting and not a bore… that’s life!

Action and Courage

Try it. The worst that can happen is doing nothing.

Persistence and Support

Keep going. Don’t stop. The dream doesn’t change just the date you accomplish it. If you have a passion in your gut for the work you do, the success will come. If you’re a mom or want to have a family, make sure your partner actively supports you. Passive support and clapping from the sideline is not enough. Support starts from the idea not when the success arrives.

Trust Your Gut and Take the Leap

Trust your gut and take the leap.

Step Out of Comfort Zones

Get uncomfortable to be become comfortable. You have to start somewhere and jump out of your shell to retrieve results. Also,  I want to share the meaning behind my company. “Luna Bella” translates to “beautiful moon” in Italian.No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what your circumstances may be, we can all look up to the same moon. Similarly, in this digital age, we are all connected by the same vast network of knowledge and opportunity. Anything is possible if you put the work in.

Advice for Young Women Entrepreneurs

For aspiring and current entrepreneurs alike, my advice is simple: perseverance is key. Take the time to meticulously plan out your business strategy and goals, and never lose sight of them. Avoid the trap of comparing your journey to others'—your vision and path are uniquely yours. Understand that not everyone will comprehend your vision, and that's okay. Consistency is paramount; even on days when motivation wanes, taking small steps forward is crucial to progress. Remember, success is a journey, not a destination.
