Preparation is the Key to Success

Ciao a tutti e Benvenuti!

In this week's episode, I dive into a lesson that has guided me throughout my journey in both life and business: the power of preparation. Growing up, my dad always reminded me that success doesn’t come by chance—it’s something you set yourself up for by planning ahead. Today, I share some personal experiences where preparation was the foundation of my success, including a memorable conversation with Marcus Lemonis, an entrepreneur I deeply respect.

Through these stories, I explore how preparation, though it takes time and effort, often pays off in ways you might never anticipate. Tune in for practical insights and a reminder that while hard work requires dedication, it can open doors you didn’t know existed.

Hello! I am Cristina, the owner of Healthy Italia and a native Italian who moved to the United States in 2014.

My original plan was to stay in the U.S for six months working in an internship while improving my English language skills. After being offered a full-time accounting job, I decided to stay but I followed the advice of my father to pursue “something else” outside of a 9-5 job. Healthy Italia is my “something else”!

The original idea was to open a retail store that would sell imported goods from small Italian producers. Today Healthy Italia has evolved into a retail store with an attached cooking school, where we instruct students in live cooking classes, teaching them how to prepare traditional Italian dishes from scratch.

My mantra is that everyone can create a delicious dish from a few simple ingredients.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!
