Failed multiple times but still ...

Hmm .... I failed a lot of times in business.

Not once. Not twice.

In different ways, at different stages.

1️⃣ EPIC PLANNERS (2019)

My first venture.

Started with full energy, partnerships, and belief.

We connected with caterers, decorators, music teams, and built everything from scratch - flyers, visiting cards, networks.

It felt real.

Then COVID happened.

And everything stopped.

Not slowly. Suddenly :(

I still have over 200 visiting cards with me.

Sometimes I look at them… not with regret,

but with a quiet reminder — timing matters.

I won’t call it a failure.

Maybe just… paused.

2️⃣ PAINTING ART PLATFORM

Something very different.

A creative digital space where I consistently posted, built engagement, and even hosted international-level activities.

People joined.

There was response. There was growth.

But somewhere, I lost direction.

No big failure. No external problem.

Just… I didn’t continue.

It still exists.

But now my brother is handling this persoanlly.

Like a conversation I never properly ended.

3️⃣ CLASSIC EBOOKS OFFER

Started during COVID.

This one actually worked.

I sold thousands of books.

Scaled fast. Got real traction.

But then I realised something important —

Growth without proper structure can become a problem.

Licensing. Sustainability. Long-term clarity.

I tried to fix it.

Couldn’t.

So I stepped back.

But ....

Looking back today,

I don’t see failed businesses.

I see phases where:

• I built without full knowledge

• I learned without guidance

• I paused without clarity

And still… I moved forward.

Some things are not meant to scale.

They are meant to prepare you.

Maybe one day I’ll restart one of these.

Maybe I won’t.

But they are still a part of how I think,

how I build,

and how I see work today.

If you’ve ever believed in something

and had to leave it halfway…

you’ll understand this.
