Many of us make mistakes when we start out. I have made quite a few mistakes, but the first mistake was my biggest.

The first program I joined was a gifting club. I learned really quick that people do not trust gifting clubs!

My number two mistake was investing a whole $25.00 into PixMeUp! What a scam that was.

Hmmm,
Honestly I think my biggest mistake has been over analyzing things.
This has caused me to pass up on some great opportunities for the fear of failing. Its good to be cautious but being overly cautious can prevent you from moving forward.

I agree. I find that many people over analyze the opportunity that I'm involved with. When if they just would open their mind a little, they would see the obvious truth.

So I do agree that looking at things with a cautious yet open mind is the way to go!

“There are always opportunities through which businessmen can profit handsomely if they will only
recognize and seize them.”

“There are one hundred men seeking security to one able man who is willing to risk his fortune.”

“Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying.”

There are no mistakes, unless you think there are...you can't really get it wrong unless you think you can!

The present is your point of power...so if your thoughts are on the past, on what you could have or should have done...then what will be in your future? your past...

Intention is the start...Intend what you want and keep a close eye on what comes to you...if it feels right ACT...from inspiration not motivation!
Be inspired to take the next step...ACT from then Joy of the gain...not the FEAR of the loss... 8)

By learning from your past you are not living in the past, you are learning from the past and moving forward with experience and knowledge.

I agree.
