ATTITUDE

20. “It
is
your
ahtude,
not
your
apetude,
that
determines
your
aletude”
Zig
Ziglar

21. SKILLS
CAN
BE
LEARNED

22. ATTITUDE
IS
REVEALED
AND
POLISHED

23. 5
ATTITUDES
SHARED
BY
SUCCESSFUL
DIGITAL
ENTREPRENEURS

24. RESILIENCE

25. “With
an
Italian
last
name,
I
can
eat
pasta
every
day”

an
art”

34. SO
HOW
TO
SPOT
THEM
BEFORE
THEY
BECOME
SUCCESSFUL?

35. THEY’VE
DONE
IT
BEFORE

36. THEY
MAKE
INSTEAD
OF
TALK

37. THERE’S
A
FIRE
IN
THEIR
EYES

38. SO
NEXT
TIME
YOU
MEET
A
YOUNG
ENTREPRENEUR

39. DON’T
LOOK
FOR
THEIR
CODING
OR
MARKETING
SKILLS

40. DON’T
TRY

ANALYSE
THEIR

41. BUT
LOOK
FOR
THEIR
ATTITUDE

42. THANKS
SO
MUCH
FOR
LISTENING!
