This is a shame, because there are so many good ideas. However, expectations often do not match reality.
I’m not sure about the specific mistakes, but the best ones are the ones that tell me something about myself. You’ll want to learn what you like and don’t like, how you want to work, who you want to work with, and what you want your business and life to be like.
