I know that many of you here are entrepreneurs as well so I'm just curious. Many of us here have probably spent thousands on various projects that never succeeded. I know I definitely have in the past year.

So the question is, any regrets, or was it a good learning experience?

I regret taking on clients pretty much, only due to the fact that I never have time for my own projects.

I'm with Anthony on this, only because I never made a thousand dollars yet. Next year I will go all out. Too young, ask me next year and I'll tell ya. What I do, is spend little to nothing on a site till I know 50 people are wanting it. Then when I do spend around $10 I'm all set for a while

No regrets at the moment, thankfully One might be that I spend way too much time on Talkfreelance but hopefully that will all be worth it.

I've ran two websites previously to this and both were sold for large profit so it's all good!

My main regrets would be rushing into things. I have ALOT of half developed domains/websites that I start quickly, than decide that it's probably not the best idea, so I move on to something else.

The lesson? Think things through!

My only regret is that I didn’t start doing this sooner.

Best reply yet to be honest jon mate, imagine where you'd be if you'd have started a few years younger.

Over time things only get better

Very true, Jon. I wish I had started at least a year earlier.
