My Mistakes of the Last Year
I’m back.
So I thought I’d restart by talking about a bunch of mistakes I’ve made in the last year. I’ll describe those more fully in the next few days. Here they are:
- Started two new companies that failed (price tag at roughly $100k lost)
- Hired for a position that didn’t work out (price tag at roughly $100k lost)
- Stopped blogging; I regret losing the cadence
- Mis-managed my time
Many good things have happened in the last year too, but I’m going to return to blogging with a raw accounting of my mistakes.
Which of those four do you think bothers me the most? What mistakes have you made?

Welcome back John 🙂 I think you are most bothered by 4 then 3.

Thanks Vish! Number 4 for sure is the leader. The rest is a wash.
