I felt like I made every mistake in the book with launching my first start-up.

I think a lot of us out there want to be entrepreneurs. It's getting easier and less costly with technology, but the challenges of launching your company to great success are still there. I worked 6 months with my team in launching our first start up. It wasn't a complete failure, but it wasn't a huge success. In retrospect, we felt like we made every start-up mistake in the book. Although bittersweet, the lessons learned are priceless.
