However,\nif you&#8217;re in business for yourself, you want to transform your business or you want\nto increase your income this year, you know this is for you. Learn proven\nadvance techniques that produce consistent results, whiling having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You were born\nand raised in South Africa with an Italian heritage. How did you come to found\nyour company in Switzerland?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today Z\u00fcrich is one of the unstoppable growth hubs of European\nentrepreneurship. It wasn\u2019t always this way, what you might not know is that,\nthere has never been a better time than now to start living your dream, doing\nmore of what you love, while impacting the world. Z\u00fcrich is filled with like-minded,\ncreative and innovative people, entrepreneurs who want to lead change, drive\ngrowth and delivery results for themselves, their teams and their families.\nZ\u00fcrich has an entrepreneurial vibe that you don\u2019t want to miss out on.

It\u2019s hard to find a better place to start and grow your\nbusiness today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re currently in South Africa on business. In your opinion, how does the startup scene in South Africa differ from the startup scene in Switzerland?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two scenes have their complexities, challenges and unique opportunities,\nthe major mistake that most new business owners make is the same, regardless of\nindustry or country. Having had the opportunity to work with business owners,\nbusiness leaders on both continents, I have worked with great people, talented\npeople, gifted people, good at what they do with great products and great ideas\njust holding themselves back, we all have fears, we all have concerns, so many\nof us completely undervalue ourselves, completely worry about what other people\nthink about us, so many of us are so concerned about getting things wrong not\nbeing perfect, waiting for the right moment whatever those excuses are that you\nhave, let make sure that we just move past those excuses, let\u2019s not wait for us\nto be perfect, take some risks and do something different, execute on your\nideas, just get things going and get perfect later, I would rather that we all\nfail forward and do something rather than just not doing nothing. What are you going\nto do different this week? or are you going to let your limitations, your fears,\nyour concerns hold you back or are you going to do something differently?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our classic final question: What would you advise our young\nentrepreneurs who have just founded their first own company via STARTUPS.CH?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest challenge in starting or growing any business is usually the mindset of the owner. 80 % of success in business is the mindset of the owner and only 20 % is the mechanics of the business. A business is a reflection of the owner, a business grows at the rate that you grow at. Success in business requires enormous focus, courage and flexibility. Become a master of the art of taking action, even the wrong, imperfect action is better, than no action.&nbsp; To be effective you need clarity, vision and the ability to execute consistently on the right strategies. Know your \u201cwhy\u201d, the \u201cWhat\u201d and the \u201cHow\u201d, shift from knowing to doing. Learn from people, businesses owners who have made mistakes. And remember a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt \u2013 &#8220;Learn from the mistakes of others. You can&#8217;t live long enough to make them all yourself&#8221;, as a business owner time is your most precious resource, not your money, use your money to buy more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thank you very much for the interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any innovative business idea you would like to make come true?
