My biggest takeaway is that Failure is a Redirection.
My first Print on Demand store was a big mess and a complete failure. But instead of giving up, I tried looking up Digital Marketing on the whole, back in 2021.
That's what helped me pivot towards Copywriting and Content Writing 6 months later. Today, I'm happy I make money as a Writer online.
If I had given up after my first startup's failure, I would've just gone back to my boring, miserable life of studying to participate in the rat race.

There are no failures only lessons. I have been a perfectionist for as long as I remember but once I started seeing how it is affecting my life I have started realizing and trying to control my OCD urge.

My biggest takeaway from failure is that I only embark on projects that are worth failing at. For me, that means: If I attempt this and fail, will I have derived something simply out of attempting it? That something can be joy, learning something of value, relationships with people who I want to keep in my life even beyond the scope of said project?
I'd rather fail working on something I love, but then at least having spent my time and energy on something I enjoy, than simply grinding and hustling to achieve a certain goal (be it financial, societal impact, etc).
That said, I think this is a personal choice and everyone's gotta figure out what the right approach for them is. I'm glad there's people who have a different approach to this, because many of the things I enjoy in life are a direct result of their way of doing things, which is different from mine :)

Hello
My conclusion.
I think that the most important thing is to treat the project as a hypothesis. The most important thing is to check it out.
If your hypothesis is confirmed, then your project will be successful.
The main thing is to test the hypothesis and the minimum working version of the project
