When I look back on my years as an employer I thought of tthese two things first-

1. Took me 10 minutes to count how many people who are  current business owners, General Managers or Leaders in other industries who worked for me.     17

2. What would I change?  I would have gone to the bank much earlier. Stubbornly wanting to do it all with my own money early on made it harder later on. Didn't learn to do it with other peoples money until I was older. 

Other than that, I wouldn't have changed a thing!!!
