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:

********

2017: Commissioned a series of articles for $2,800 and then scrapped them

2016: Overpaid for my car because I rushed into it

2016: Launched a podcast, and then left the podcast

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

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

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?)
