I suspect most people that come across this have tried different things, and honestly the title is a bit of clickbait. I don't really see anything I effed up. Everything I've done has been a learning experience. Looking back at some things, I do shake my head a little. But here I am with all these skills now. I guess this post is more about that one thing you look back at and just shake your head at. Mine was the crypto days. I figured I'd make good money off crypto, but got involved in the wrong kind of projects. I learned a lot about crypto, but realized I'm not great at investing and waiting. If I'd just invested and left it, I would have made money. Instead I kept moving my money around, so that's something I'm not going back to anytime soon.
