I Failed 5 Times Before Starting This Blog – Here’s What I Learned

A cheerful man standing with open arms, surrounded by icons representing skills, hobbies, and passions, symbolizing personal branding.

Before I launched LifeWithSathyanand.com, I didn’t just wake up with a perfect idea. In fact, I failed five times. Each time I started something with hope, it either lost momentum or completely flopped. Here's my honest journey, and what each failure taught me.


Post Content:

🚫 1. YouTube Channel That Never Took Off  

I created videos, learned editing, but lost confidence when I didn’t get views.  

Lesson: Don't chase trends without knowing your real “why.”


🚫 2. Dropshipping Store That Drained My Wallet  

Bought a domain, created an online store… but zero sales.  

Lesson: Skills > setup. Business needs marketing knowledge.


🚫 3. Instagram Page That Burned Me Out  

Daily posting without a niche or direction. I gave up in 40 days.  

Lesson: Consistency without clarity = burnout.


🚫 4. Freelancing Attempts That Didn’t Stick  

Tried Fiverr and Upwork, but no profile strength, no clients.  

Lesson: Need to build trust first. Nobody pays a stranger instantly.


🚫 5. Podcast That Felt Like Talking to Myself  

I started one excitedly but got 3 plays in 2 weeks. I quit.  

Lesson: Every platform has a learning curve. Don’t quit too soon.


🎯 What Changed with LifeWithSathyanand.com?

- This time I knew what I enjoy writing about

- I used free tools smartly (ChatGPT, Canva, Blogger)

- I gave myself time to grow slowly

- I stopped comparing and focused on my own lane


✅ If You’re Reading This...

You’re probably trying to start something too. Don’t be afraid to fail. Every failure sharpens your clarity.  

Start. Learn. Adjust. Repeat.
