Neil PatelMistakes. Of course nobody really wants to make them, but we all do. And learning from mistakes is something that separates successful entrepreneurs from the rest of the pack. Enter Neil Patel. Neil is an extremely successful entrepreneur who has been on the show several times. He is the Co-Founder of two Internet companies: Crazy Egg and KISSmetrics and has helped everyone from huge companies (Amazon, AOL, GM, HP) to smaller entrepreneurs make more bling online.

In this interview (inspired by this blog post), Neil gives an honest and refreshing look at the mistakes he has made and the lessons he has learned.

What about you? What big mistakes have you made? How did you overcome them?
