MILAN, ITALY, September 24, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sales and marketing agency HB Group Italia are strong supporters of entrepreneurship. To help young people reach their full business potential, the firm run their own business development program. The program teaches young people essential leadership and business management skills and has helped shape a number of successful entrepreneurs. HB Group Italia believe it's important for young people to receive honest and clear advice before starting a career in entrepreneurship. Many new businesses fail in their first year due to entrepreneurs lacking support and knowledge. HB Group Italia believes the advice they received when they started their business is what has led to their success. To help entrepreneurs succeed the agency has decided to share the career advice that inspired them to start their business.
Who you work for is important.
HB Group believes it's important for entrepreneurs to work for the best people they can. Not only will working for the best impress future employers or investors, it will also build a strong support network to help their business ventures succeed. Working for the best in the business means entrepreneurs are learning from the best and gaining valuable work experience.
Being busy isn't always a good thing.
Being busy is not the same as being productive. By looking busy and working long hours entrepreneurs are less likely to progress in their career. Business leaders will assume they are stressed and therefore keep their workload minimal and be wary of giving them new responsibilities.
Don't try to hide failures.
Failure doesn't instantly mean incompetence. Facing up to failures shows that an entrepreneur is trustworthy and responsible. As long as an entrepreneur can back up their decisions, the occasional failure can be a sign of innovation and fearlessness in business.
Doing your job well is no longer enough.
Businesses expect their workers to be competent in their roles, therefore doing a job well is unlikely to impress. Entrepreneurs should look for ways to show leaders that they are valuable to the future of the business. Another way to impress is to be proactive and think of ways to improve the business as a whole.
