What did you learn from your last error?
With the recent paypal "closed account" thread that was discussed recently, I was thinking about how we become stronger from our experiences and past errors.
so, for example:
Paypal shuts down a buyer and freezes funds.
This leads to a sudden cash crunch and no way to accept payments easily.
Now, several few days pass and alternate payment means are accepted.
Suddenly, the prospect of your own merchant account seems like a necessary evil. plus you join plimus and other payment services.
you learn to accept checks by fax. and how to invoice. and factor.
when you look back a few weeks later, you see that that big issue was a blessing in disguise.
my question to you...
What did your last crisis teach you that helped you be thankful you had it?
