What are ways in which you have failed at making money?

no company or product that i see made is perfect with everybody being happy.

At the end though, because the companies kept pushing forward they are still alive and well in spite of all the shortcomings of their product reviews they take the criticism and continue to release better products and services.

Or they get phased if they can't compete - nature of the game

Well he clearly likes the number 69.

I’ve been in the service industry, and the construction industry, and other things in between, my whole life. I’ve made a LOT of money, but I’ve usually invested it back into the business, and in the end my worst business mistake has always been not knowing when to quit and liquidate my investment and walk away.

When things start to go downhill, I tend to apply a lot of creativity and effort and change the game so I still do well when everybody else is folding up and running.

In the end, though, sometimes your market just goes away. There have been a number of times I’ve been the last person standing in my field, but my field has gone away around me.

I started a business that I realized was going to be a regulatory nightmare. Due to the nature of the business and the way things are changing my product will becomes obsolete in 3 years.

Of course I only realized both of these things after pumping a bunch of money into it.

Do your research people!!

Bussiness don't last for ever. Not a bad thing just the way it is. Get in get out. And sell your company at a high point

Welcome to the forums - sadly this is not a great money-making model but at least you stopped...

All the best as you master stealth

I tried to market a paper restaurant plate / table mat which you would place on tables or on top of mall food court plates. I'd litter advertisements along the side of the mat and interesting content in the middle and/or the restaurants brand. Id charge the advertisers a monthly fee to be placed on the mat.

It turns out most restaurant owners and malls were not too thrilled with the idea lol.

Sounds like something they'd be thrilled about.

We have something similar here and it's been around forever:

Haha, funny you say. I tried to copy and rebrand this as well. I didn't have the passion though to go through. I always found Coffee News extremely boring and if I had something that was more entertaining it could succeed. Oh well.

Wasting my time going to a subpar college,

Basically unless you can get into the top 10 schools in the country don't waste your time most of the good companies that pay 6 figures and up go to the top schools to recruit for their company it's an employers market

Also when I went to apply for jobs it was not uncommon for every job that I applied for to have 100 plus applicants

In order to survive you have to do things differently than everyone else to make any decent money

It's called creativity. It's what sets the average Joe apart from people like Bezos and Gates.
