Biggest Epiphany and Biggest Mistake

[nradam123]

I am new to this forum and I find a TON of value here. I feel an overwhelming sense of positivity as i read the threads here. I am glad that I found this resource and the book, and i hope to contribute to the community as well.

Basically I wanted to make a thread where you guys answer 2 questions.

1) What was the biggest mistake you made when you began business?
2) What was the biggest epiphany (Or AHA moment) that changed your game when you began business?

I think these questions will help a lot of beginners avoid traps that they might be making. Also care to elaborate if you have the time.

Regards
Adam
