6 months ago today, I started seriously working on my first business. Now today, marks the day I move on from this business. Heres the 3 most important things I've learned on my first "failure"...

1- Know Yourself

Now this is something I already knew, but I didn't know myself as well as I thought. The business
fit me, but I didn't fit the business. Know yourself, and know your business.


2- Take Less Time

As a beginner entrepreneur I now believe we should work on developing our entrepreneurial skills on a
business we can launch quickly. You can waste a lot of time and money playing entrepreneur.


3- Enjoy Life

Go out and enjoy yourself once and awhile. Go to the gym, go for a walk, visit your family, meet up
with your friends, go get a coffee. Don't get caught up in everything and forget to enjoy yourself.


These are 3 most important things I learned, that I think others might be able to learn from too.
