I wonder why it's like this.

I'm closing my business after 8yrs (it failed, I made alot of mistakes), but I think starting your own business doesn't have to be difficult - I wish I had known that 8 years ago.
Here's what I'd tell myself: plan plan plan (and plan again), start very small (min risk and stress), be 100% authentic, do not follow (both macro and micro decisions) and if necessary or possible have someone else join you as a partner (spread the risk and give a diffetent pov).
I look forward to starting a new business.
It's a pleasure for me to read about your experience. I, too, made a mistake. I invested all my savings in a business that completely failed after a month. That was two years ago. Now, I've had to relaunch that same business, which is now three months old. And that's where I've started encountering difficulties. I have to stay strong.
Please share your new business ideas with me if possible.
