I Wasted 6 Years on Startups — Don’t Make My Mistakes
Thu Aug 28 2025
For six years straight, I failed at building my company. I tried everything under the sun—different business models, hiring teams, raising money, chasing trends. Every time, it fell apart. Sometimes I failed quietly, sometimes in ways that hurt to admit. At one point, I even gave investors their money back because I knew it wasn’t working.
But those six years weren’t wasted. Every wrong turn, every mistake, every late-night pivot taught me something I couldn’t have learned any other way. And when I finally pieced it all together, when I finally unlocked what actually makes a business work, I made half a million dollars in my first six months.
This is the breakdown of everything I did wrong, and the lessons I wish someone had told me sooner. If you’re serious about building a business, you can’t afford to miss this video.
