From Italy to London: Simone Vincenzi's Journey from Restaurant Worker to Thriving Online Entrepreneur
“A lot of the time, we wait for things to align to make the decision, but it never happens that way. First, you make the decision; this is what we want, let’s take the first step. Then, the world around you starts aligning to accommodate that decision.”
Hear the inspiring story of how an Italian immigrant to the UK worked his way up from working in restaurants to being a successful online entrepreneur. Simone Vincenzi shares tips and advice on starting an online business, transitioning from one industry to another, and achieving both financial and location independence as an expat.
You’ll hear about Simone’s favorite places to travel, the quickest way to learn English as a second language (as an adult), and the shocking racism he experienced while traveling with his wife in South Africa. Plus, he tells you the benefits of creating a webinar for your business and how to create one on a tight budget.
