Entrepreneurs are not born.  They are made.  No one is born with enate skills to be an effective entrepreneur.  Effective entrepreneurs are effective because they learn from their mistakes and more importantly from other people's mistakes.  They maintain the attitude of continuously improving themselves through reading and interacting with other entrepreneurs.

No one's perfect and we've all had our share of mistakes.  One mistake I learned from was being a busy body.  In my early years of my entrepreneurial career, I confused being busy with being productive.  In my own insecurity as an entrepreneur, I kept busy thinking that it has got to be be better than being idle.  I later realized that it is counter productive to be aimlessly busy.  Sometimes it is better to take a step back, remain calm and just think about what and why I am doing something.

As a fellow entrepreneur, what are some mistakes that you've made?  Share your thoughts here.
