I truly believe that success is a culmination of a lot of failures. Serial Hustlers/Entrepreneurs tend to have done a lot of things before they struck gold. A lot of them believe these failures are what made them what they are today..Here is a shout out to all indie hackers to share their "Failure resume" and inspire the community.
While I have not struck Gold yet, here is how my failure resume looks like -
2011 - Conceptualized a Tshirt printing business. Got samples, got first order. Partner bolted before we could service the order
2013 - Built an intersection of Twitter and Rotten tomatoes. Shipped it but couldn't monetise . Had big plans..had to shut down
2017 - Helped a few friends build web version of a quizzing app. Policies got in the way. Lost momentum
2019 - Built a landing page to validate an idea about highlights of favourite topics. Got close to 80 subscribers..mostly friends and family..Never launched.
2020 - Hustle continues....
