Great advice, Dien!
I've made some amazingly colossal blunders and mis-steps in my business career -- but MOST of the time (with a few exceptions), they have not been expensive ones. Because of that, it has been relatively easy to get up, dust self off and move on.
There is NO better teacher than doing something the WRONG way, and LEARNING from it. Failure is only bad when you do NOT learn from it.
Best Wishes,
