LAS VEGAS, NV, April 22, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Las Vegas entrepreneur Anthony D'Anna is speaking out about the importance of hands-on business experience and practical learning for aspiring entrepreneurs. Drawing on his background managing a local Italian deli and his ongoing interest in financial markets and business operations, D'Anna is encouraging people to focus on real-world skills that help businesses grow and adapt over time.
D'Anna believes many people interested in entrepreneurship underestimate the value of daily operational experience. His message is simple: learn by doing.
"I've always believed the best lessons in business come from being involved in the work itself," says D'Anna. "When you're managing a business day to day, you see what works, what doesn't, and how quickly things can change."
Growing up in Las Vegas, Nevada, D'Anna developed an early curiosity about how businesses operate in fast-moving environments. That curiosity later led him to take on management responsibilities and eventually run Theresa's Italian deli, where he gained firsthand experience overseeing staff, operations, and customer service.
"Running a small business teaches you everything about operations," D'Anna says. "You deal with customers, employees, supplies, and schedules constantly. It forces you to solve problems quickly."
The Importance of Practical Business Experience
Small businesses remain a critical part of the American economy. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses make up 99.9% of all businesses in the United States and employ nearly half of the country's private workforce. Yet many new businesses struggle in their early years.
Research from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that roughly 20% of new businesses fail within their first year, while about 50% close within five years. Analysts often cite operational challenges, market changes, and financial management as common reasons.
D'Anna believes these realities highlight the need for real-world business training.
"You learn resilience when you're actually running something," he says. "There's no shortcut to experience. The day-to-day work teaches you discipline and problem solving."
Learning From Business and Financial Markets
In addition to his management experience, D'Anna has spent years following financial markets and studying how economic trends affect businesses. His interest in stock trading grew from a desire to better understand how companies operate and respond to changing conditions.
"I've always been interested in how markets move," D'Anna explains. "You watch trends, study information, and try to understand what's driving decisions."
According to Gallup, about 61% of Americans report owning stock in some form, whether directly or through retirement accounts. Market participation continues to grow as individuals look for ways to better understand the economy and long-term financial trends.
For D'Anna, the appeal lies in the learning process itself.
"Markets are really about observation," he says. "You're always studying patterns and learning how different industries respond to change."
Passion for the Automotive World
Outside of business and markets, D'Anna is also known for his enthusiasm for cars and motorcycles, interests that have shaped both his lifestyle and perspective on innovation.
The global automotive industry continues to evolve rapidly. According to the International Energy Agency, the number of electric vehicles on the road surpassed 40 million worldwide in 2023, highlighting the pace of technological development within the sector.
D'Anna enjoys following those changes.
"I've always been fascinated by cars and motorcycles," he says. "You see engineering, performance, and design all working together. That kind of innovation is exciting."
For him, automotive culture reflects the same principles that drive business success: precision, constant improvement, and attention to detail.
Encouraging the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
D'Anna hopes his experience encourages more people to approach entrepreneurship with patience and curiosity.
Rather than chasing trends, he suggests focusing on building skills through experience and observation.
"Business is about consistency," he says. "If you show up every day, learn from mistakes, and keep improving, progress follows."
He also believes people should stay open to learning across different fields.
"Management, markets, and industries like automotive all connect through problem solving," D'Anna adds. "The more you learn, the better decisions you can make."
Call to Action
Anthony D'Anna encourages anyone interested in entrepreneurship or business leadership to focus on learning through direct experience. This can include managing projects, studying industries, observing market trends, and exploring fields that spark curiosity.
"Start by paying attention to how businesses actually work," D'Anna says. "Ask questions, learn from people around you, and stay curious about how things operate."
By staying engaged and continuing to learn, individuals can develop the practical understanding that often drives long-term success.
