What would you describe as being your biggest mistake to date in starting out on the Internet and what have you learnt from it?

Personally mine was initially spending far to much time searching for the "simple secret" that was going to give me a quick return rather than getting on with the job and actually trying a few things on my own.
Sure I had a few failures along the way but as they say practice makes perfect!

What about you?

Spending too much in adwords without reading and learning about it. I wish I read about how other people use adwords and the good and the bad. If I had researched first I would have saved myself a lot of money. I have gotten a little better at is now and my conversion rates are much more profitable.

I would have to say that my initial error was not doing more research and planning in terms of how to manage my time effectively in order to run my online business.

Procrastination is a big one!!!

Don't just think about it...Give it a go!

Success is often born out of failure.

I guess I would have to go with procrastination as well. It is more just not taking enough risk. I guess the reason I procrastinate is so that I have a reason to not take risks. Fear is a horrible thing! Confused

Jean,

I think many of us could relate to your comment "fear"!

But when you take a minute to think about it what's the worst you can do?

So you make a few mistakes but remember no ones perfect, so just try little steps first, I bet you will surprise yourself as to how capable you really are.

Remember when you first learnt how to ride a bicycle, you fell off a few times but then you mastered it, cause falling off hurts right...

Online it's no different, you might wobble and fall a few times but you will get it all under control quicker than you might think!

I know I did, I just needed the initial push...Thanks Kevin!!!

Regards

Thank you for the encouragement. I am starting to do small things and testing the waters. I would love to eventually only work from home. I still do some corporate america work. YUCK!
