1. Dating site targeting my community in early 2000s. It started to gain traction but users were purely mean to each others. I could not moderate it and didn't wanted to deal with drama. Shut it down.
2. Craig's List clone with additional features such as social graph using Facebook Connect late 2000s. Idea was to feel safe when buying or selling, but it never got enough users. Should have marketed locally harder but didn't had enough money.
3. Consulting business. Early 2010s. Bad at networking. Unable to sell at high enough markup.
4. Android and iOS apps. Got bored with dev.
The biggest lesson for me is to stop chasing money and find something I truly care about. Focus on one thing. Keep day job to pay bills.
