I got into a startup (informal) and invested my savings and also took loan from friends and family.
It would take a couple of years to clear up but I am happy thwt I didn't let go.of the opportunity and the learnings also realised the following. 1.I enjoyed the thrill 2.When something has to go wrong,It will 3.My priorities changed (family,health,mental peace) 4.I am enjoying what I have more than ever and not cribbing about what I don't have.
I am about to touch 40 and lose all savings(instead loans on the head) but I have never felt so calm ;)
Anyone with a similar life altering experience 😉
@Angrybirdd - would you pls throw more light on this topic. How did you invest in this startup and how much? Also what would be the main learnings from this ?
By the sound of it, looks like they invested major capital for sure.
What the startup was about doesn't matter in this context. Learning listed in the post.... And some additional below
Shit happens and whatever happens, you have to embrace it with a positive mind and work towards what's best for you.
You will lose your mind, overpowered by your insecurities but you have to gain control of yourself and bounce back...no matter what,the past has passed and you cannot lose your present over the past and screw your future.
Also don't lose your hustle mindset.... You never know when you hit the jackpot.
4.Sometimes I do get into anxiety mode,but then I have prioritised my family,health,peace
5.I have navigated 13 months with all this shit and I survived so I will survive more and I m working on myself now rather than any other venture.
As said in the Shark tank "Down but not out" 😔
What was the startup? How did you loose it? Do you have kids 😨
I would not like to go deep into what it was was and how I lost.... It would be a long story ( shorter verysion don't give the right perspective) and I don't have kids and nor do I intend to have 😉
@Angrybirdd - at least tell us the teachings you got. Also how did you invest
#3 is most critical. Kudos on that!
Don’t let that go.

Life is hard, and plans don't always turn out the way they should. But when we look back over our lives, we realize that some decisions really changed the course of our lives for the better.
I just hit 30 and it feels... different. Not bad, just not what I expected. My 20s were a whirlwind of possibilities, but now I'm wondering if I'm supposed to have it all figured out. How are your 30s different from your 20s? What chang...
