Mistakes are how we learn and grow right? Must be the week for it- I did a series (yes, I made that many mistakes in one business! lol) about my first business! Hey, if it helps someone else learn too... It’s always great when people share their personal stories. Mistakes are how we learn and grow right?

Doesn't sound like a failure to me. Well you could have made more, you surely didn’t lose out.

It can be very hard to let go of a falling stock, especially when your plan (sell at $50) doesn't work out as expected. Backup plans are important. People correctly nailed me on my SIRI trading before, where I should have let go earlier. It's good that we're getting this all out of our system early, while our savings accounts are smaller relative to our incomes. In retirement a similar mistake would have cost you much more. Next up, let's hear about one of your great success stories. Thanks for sharing, Kevin.
