A lot, especially during high school I used to go through dozens of concepts a year, at times multiple at once and seeing what would catch on and what would not. In the end reality bites and the only real gain I’ve gotten out of it is having gained a significant amount of knowledge in various fields but outside of that… nothing :P.

Still, not bad though, but of course success would have been nice too ;).

Glowing Wyck – It was suppose to be a blog on how to make candles, sell candles, and decorate with candles.

There’s just not too much of a market for it.

@Mel – hehehe… I thought about that as well, and although am quite liberal in my thinking I figured that was crossing a line. Jeez… I was offered an excellent position as a Project Managera few years back and turned it down because it was for one of the online gambling outfits! Talk about being prudish! But you gotta stand for what you believe in.

Heh – you’re brake to talk about your failed project. I’ve got about $10k worth of failed “projects” that I hate talking about!

:-)

But you do learn from your mistakes, no?

Sounds like you have some pretty good ideas there, maybe you could get back to work on a couple of them or revamp them a little bit and get them up to their full potential!

Every successful Internet entrepreneur has had failed projects. It’s just part of the process and those that know that, are the ones that really get ahead.
