4 Biggest Mistakes I Made as an Entrepreneur That I Regret Now
You can never reverse a mistake but you can prevent it from happening again
Every person makes some mistakes whether in his life, work, or something else. So making mistakes is not that bad but repeating them, again and again, is the real issue. And that is why I decided not to make the same mistake again.
I am a human like you and I have also made some mistakes in my life. But there are some mistakes that I still regret.
Leaving Freelancing
I started freelancing and completed a $100 project very easily and quickly. But after that, I left freelancing after a stupid incident and never looked back to freelancing. But now I have started working as a freelancer again and I am very desperate to find some projects.

Learning all the time
I destroyed my entrepreneurship journey by learning all the time. I never felt the urge to implement anything but always found happiness in learning new things. Learning is good, but with some limits. You cannot learn to the extent that you lose the power of implementation.

Being a Perfectionist
Another mistake I made that destroyed my online journey is “Perfection”. I had an obsession for perfection that didn’t let me complete anything. I have left many things in between because of the perfection obsession. I used to think that the thing I have done is not perfect and this never let me start or complete anything.

Leaving Medium
I started writing on Medium in July 2020 and wrote 2 to 3 stories. But after that, I never wrote a single story for a whole year. Although Medium gave me a good start. And there was nothing that kept me back but I never tried writing on Medium again.
I think the mistakes above play an important role in this. But I still don’t know why I stopped writing on Medium.
