I joined a business someone started, personally invested $200k, and forwent income for a year. This is after leaving a prestigious finance job after 5-6 years in the industry and quitting a senior role at a Fintech.

Company’s sales is flat, and it’s running out of money. If this doesn’t work out, I’m a guy who quit the previous start-up (not doing very well rn) after 1 year, blew money, and joined another one that’s also not doing well.

I feel like I’m not employable and that maybe my judgment is poor. Has anyone experienced or gone through this?

    No money wasted as long as you learned. I joined a pyramid scheme and got scammed when I was younger and 2 years later I actually have applied some of their marketing strategies and have seen a great return.

    Man you are doing great I myself is dealing from something similar. I left a named college just start something of my own its just 20 days from start . It feels like i have done something wrong with myself as now i see people around me growing. As i haven’t got sales yet i started to question my decision. My inner self knows i can do it so do i believe your inner self too.just listen to your heart ❤️

    Looking at the bright side, at least you had the chance/choice to make it big and you took it. I dont even have $200k and I might not even have the courage even though I wanted to make it big.
