\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Creating great things matters more than pursuing wealth. If you want to become a successful entrepreneur, stop chasing money. That\u2019s the general principle he followed <\/span><\/p>\n

and champions\u2014the subject of today\u2019s article, Thomas Gorny, the entrepreneur who went from bankruptcy to becoming a millionaire<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gorny\u2019s dramatic story is full of lessons we can learn from and put to use. He grew up in a poor neighborhood in Poland, then immigrated to the United States <\/span><\/p>\n

in his late teens, where he started his own business and made millions\u2014only to lose them in an instant before earning them back again. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gorny now owns Nextiva, a cloud-based communications company headquartered in Arizona, USA. Gorny\u2019s company employs <\/span><\/p>\n

\u0648\u0645\u0646 From Gorny\u2019s rise and fall to his rise again,<\/a>we can draw several lessons he shared in an interview with Entrepreneur.com.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t judge others by their appearance or the way they speak.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Jury says everyone mocked him when he started his businesses in the United States. This was because his Eastern European accent made it difficult for him to <\/span><\/p>\n

pronounce English correctly. He says people treated him like \u201cthat stupid Polish kid.\u201d He ignored the ridicule and used it <\/span><\/p>\n

as motivation to move forward and pursue his path. This earned him everyone\u2019s respect and taught him his first lesson: don\u2019t judge others by their appearance or accent.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t be afraid of failure.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Jury\u2019s first company was a computer distribution business based in Germany. To cover the costs of moving to the United States <\/span><\/p>\n

He sold the company, but the proceeds were only enough to support him for eight months. That was when he began thinking about starting a new venture and how to fund it. <\/span><\/p>\n

He worked at a variety of jobs and lived on no more than $3 a day. After succeeding in this venture, he sold it in 1998.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gurney then invested in real estate, but after one of the crises that hit America, he lost almost everything and was back to square one. <\/span><\/p>\n

Five years after first arriving in the United States, he picked himself up and returned. He never lost hope, even for a moment, until he was back in the spotlight. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u0645\u0631\u0629 \u0623\u062e\u0631\u0649.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

3. View the service and product from the user\u2019s perspective.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Customers are the best teachers for entrepreneurs. Guided by this principle, Guri learned the value of earning customers\u2019 trust in his products and services by looking at the product... <\/span><\/p>\n

Or this service from the customer\u2019s perspective, ensuring that it meets a core and important consumer need.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

4. Focus on building the business rather than prioritizing profits.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Moving between success, failure, and success again taught Jory not to focus entirely on money and finances. He says that after losing everything he owned, <\/span><\/p>\n

he realized that true success lies in focusing on delivering real value to consumers, not on how much money can be made from them. This is the principle <\/span><\/p>\n

behind Jory\u2019s current company, which led to his remarkable success and his return to having millions of dollars after he was on the verge of bankruptcy.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
