Career Development & Entrepreneurship: Luca’s Leap from Employee to Business Owner

(Categories: Career Development, Entrepreneurship, Problem-Solving, Decision-Making)

Luca, a 37-year-old accountant in Italy, had always dreamed of owning his own business. For years, he worked diligently in a corporate job, saving money and waiting for the “right moment.” But the right moment never seemed to come.

He faced the same fears many aspiring entrepreneurs do:

• Fear of failure.
• Uncertainty about where to start.
• Doubts about his decision-making skills.

The Problem: Comfortable but Unfulfilled

Though Luca was financially stable, he felt trapped. His job provided security but not satisfaction. Every Monday morning, he dreaded the work week ahead, feeling like his talents were wasted.

He realised: comfort was his biggest enemy.

The Turning Point

Luca discovered Sanodea Digital’s Entrepreneurship and Career Development resources. Instead of waiting, he decided to prepare himself systematically.

1. Career Development Roadmap – assessing his strengths and transferable skills.
2. Entrepreneurship Toolkit – step-by-step guidance on ideation, planning, and execution.
3. Problem-Solving & Decision-Making Modules – building confidence in making tough choices.

The Solution: A New Career Path

Luca took action:

• He started small, launching a freelance accounting consultancy alongside his job.
• He applied decision-making frameworks to choose clients and set pricing.
• He reinvested profits to build a professional website and brand.

Within 18 months, his consultancy generated enough income for him to resign from his corporate job. Today, Luca runs a thriving boutique accounting firm helping SMEs across Italy.
