service based work is always on credit . . i have the habit of listening "NO" 25 days on an average in a month and only 5 days "yes" .It takes lots of investment already. . and in our work things are unpredictable ... The sale turns out to be no sale even after handling it to the customer . . FUTURES always up in the AIR . . . Though . .Since i've opted it as a career on my own and i know i'm going to do it for all my life ! . . I believe FAILURE is always a Temporary thing . . As an entrepreneur / if you're you are running a business ..you should not be sad about anything for more than half an hour . . its a complete distraction and waste of time !...

Being an ecommerce portal, we tried experimenting with our UI. We made it a bit different from the conventional ecommerce UI design. But soon, we realized that people are too much used to see the cart on the top right, filters on the left margin. A lot of people started approaching us as they were facing difficulties in understanding the new interface. We were losing customers ! We realized that it was not easy to change their mindsets, instead we came up with a fresh, newly designed interface at www.thecollegestore.in. The response is pretty good now :)

I think, focusing too much on tech and less on sales was my biggest failure. I've overcome it though :P

Focusing too much on a product and not on the people involved. If the team is awesome, it can go through any trouble. Double-Triple-Check the backgrounds of people you work with and be very choosy of who you give your time to.

So many Failure, prior to Success of Goverdhan Greens for me as businessman, to start with I had jumped into Dot Coms,, way back in 1998, that too with business to consumer e-com space. Too much ahead of time, at wrong location- Rajkot. However, a famous quote by Swami Vivekanandji says... " What ever mistakes you did yesterday, you have not done that, you could not have been the person that you are today." - I donot regret that mistake today. But when I look in retrospection, I think that was the biggest mistake I did during my entrepreneurial journey. I am glad that I committed that mistake at 22.

In order to take company one step ahead we invested entire funds in a single project and delivered to the customers and as it was a big project it demanded lots of documentations and formalities due to this our funds got delayed. Company's cash flow got affected badly.So now we dont block funds in a big project rather we invest it in 5 small customers to generate revenue an maintain cash flow.

We Launched Discount Site Offers-Unlimited. WayBack in Year 2000. it was Successfully Launched Project as we started with Ahmedabad City only and we got almost 1500 Offers under different 122 Categories. some of them was probably best offer till today i have ever seen :-). Where we were not able to Sustain the business. Moment we Launched FLOOD came in July. and many businesses were in trouble especially shops. then came the Earth Quake. Also Server Cost and Marketing cost for Huge at that point of time. and were playing our own Money so we have to stop somewhere and take call to keep loosing it or stop it. Internet was Luxury so that was a Hurdle. Probably we were Ahead of Time. So Many things we Learnt out of it. One Particular Lesson : Keep Doing What you want to Do. Failures are Pit Stops. Not the End. You Change your Tyre and Move ahead again.

Trusting an employee blindly brought me the biggest failure. I trusted them too much; I got dependent on them a bit too much and they left the company. Even after giving them all the freedom and right startup culture. From this, I learnt I should be more careful while hiring.

I failed many times in last 4.5 years for entrepreneurial journey... In fact our dream project for which i left job at ICICI Bank Ltd failed. We could not implement is properly. We moved on and zeroed down on Cakehunt.com. It is a successful venture till date. In last 3 years we tried so many new thing and in 80% of the things/ products / projects we failed. Yes, we succeed in 20%... So my learning is, keep trying and trying. Increase the efforts and quality of efforts till the time we don't feel happy.... As it is rightly said " Koshish Karane Walo Ki kabhi Haar na Hoti........"

Yet don't find Biggest failure as most are resulted in new experience which reflects very badly in personal / professional balance-sheet.

Learning is endless but Time is priceless so use it very wisely. In sum up ,will keep on learning and continuously improve @ business by more focus, Daily Do-list , Confidence , Dreaming & +++ etc,.,.,.,.,

My biggest failure is not acting fast enough in response to changes and deviating/getting distracted while executing! !

Keeping focus on which you desire & to have passion to achieve the same ..Yet not faced huge failure but failure is always a kind of lesson ..so to learn a lesson and moving ahead

My biggest failure is: sometimes getting overconfident and taking somethings as granted tough i am hardworking guy, ends up staying away from the goal.

My first failure came from a partnership firm. We were 4 people with the same skill sets. Hence there was a clash of opinion and work distribution. We were all 4 working very hard but there was no clear direction. And after a point there were many differences of opinions. Who takes the veto decision in an equal partnership? I ended up quitting after giving it 3 years of my initial career. I learnt a lot and i dont regret it, as i am still best friends with my ex-partners.

Failure is always good sign for further success & achievement ..we never progress ahead until n unless failure /struggle ...Keep Moving ahead

I had co-founded Waroze.com, a price aggregator and cashback site as my first part-time venture and failed. I learnt that:
- For a public site, user onboarding is challenging and slow process
- E-commerce based B2C startup needs good money for marketing
- Marketing is equal or perhaps more important than technical skills
- You better work full-time rather than part-time to have better focus and increased chances of success

We failed in building our website for the first time. We chose wrong technology partner. We were not able to gauge their ability. Building a marketplace wasn't their cup of tea. Six months into the project, we had to take a call. We scrapped the entire website he had built. We started searching for new technology partner and developed everything from scratch. Both, our time and money were wasted. It was a major setback.
