This is perhaps the biggest thing preventing me from wanting to go into business again. Like everybody else, I've failed over and over again. I struggle with seeing my failures as "the sweat of success" because, well, failing sucks.

I wanted a thread that discusses the amount of money people have lost because it's a topic that most seem to shy away from, yet it is probably the biggest deterrent to entrepreneurship.

My goal is to not only have a place where we can share experience, but also provide hope. Parallel with that hope, we can share what we learned from our money losses.

I'll go first:

Business #1: Started a garage cleaning business at 21 years old. Money invested: $0. Loaded up my truck with household cleaning supplies and knocked on doors to advertise my services. Landed 3 clients my first week. Net gain. Should've never stopped.

Business #2: Started a digital marketing business managing PPC ads at 28 years old. Money invested: under $1,000. Joined a networking group and landed several clients my first month. Net gain. Should've never stopped.

Business #3: Started an online review platform at 28 years old. Money invested: over $5,000 of my own money and borrowed another $10,000 from a relative. No clients landed in over 2 years. Net loss. Still paying off relative. Lessons learned:
  1. Just because I value something and believe I should be paid for said value, doesn't mean the market agrees. In other words, get hard-proof (sales) before investing money and definitely before borrowing money.
  2. I'm incredibly capable of disillusioning myself to believe my own nonsense. I should always have someone with more experience than myself, whom I trust, that I can run my ideas by.
  3. Never start a business in a dying industry.
Again, I share this not to discourage anyone, but to bring the realities of entrepreneurship to our attention so that we can avoid these mistakes and recognize the magnitude of approaching business lackadaisically, which I have done in the past.

Someone once said, "I have more respect for those who mess up and have the courage to repair those mistakes; rather than those who never made the mistakes in the first place." -- Me. I said this. :)
