What are the WORST decisions you've made in your entrepreneurial journey?

[TreyAllDay]

Lately I've been reaping the sow of some poor choices I made last year in my entrepreneurial journey. I thought it might be interesting to hear from some people what the worst decisions they made were in their entrepreneurial journey, maybe we can help others from making the same choices.

Why did you make the choice and how did it affect you?
