I’ve done a lot of things well, but also a lot of things not so well. Here is a list of all my fails, inspired by Johannes Haushofer’s CV of Failures:

********

2021-2023: Picked up $20,000 of crypto / came out with $10,000  🙃

2017: Commissioned a series of articles for $2,800 and then never used them

2016-2019: Took on business partners that did not work out as expected

2016: Had to bring $14,000 to the table just to sell our first house

2013-2016: Lost over $90,000 due to cash flow issues

2013: Invested $6,000 into a friend’s company and lost it

2012: Invested $10,000 in another friend’s company and lost $6,000

2010-2013: Launched a number of websites that never panned out, despite how cleverly I named them ;)

• TakeOurStuff.com – a site where every week we gave away something cool
• BlogSexier.com – A blog on how to blog better
• GiveawaysAreSexy.com – A blog all about giveaways (sensing a theme?)
