These principles all focus on how to improve an individual's creativity which, in my opinion, is something that any entrepreneur should pursue. Does anyone think that a particular principle is more important than the others in how it will help their business?

Those are really interesting. I think that Dimostrazione is a principle that would be more important than the others. With the statistics of how many small business actually fail; I believe that a person would have to be persitent and willing to learn from failure.
In my opinion the most important would be Curiosita, because curiosity is something that moves every human being, especially when starting a journey like opening a business, we have to learn as much as possible about every subject and since we don't know everyting there is to know about it, our curiosity drives us to inquire and discover more and more things that would help our busines or adventure to grow.
I think that Connessione is most important when it comes to business. One should know how everything interconnects to everything else; from your idea, to your plan of exicusion, to customers, to finances, and etc. Even if it fails you know how and why it failed; so next time you know what not to do.
I think the most important would be curiosita because business owners need to have a desire to learn new trends and apply what they've learned to the business. That's a really interesting post, and now I'm excited to take that course next semester.
