Regaining Confidence/Credibility

[Ivan Jenkins]

I'm not a new investor, but I'm feeling like one all over again. After raising money for various deals only to see it lost due to scams and inexperience a few years back, I'm working to regain credibility with private investors and do deals again. Its an understatement to say its been tough to get over the fact that I let down my investors early on.

I've recently completed paying back several thousand to a friend that invested with me early on, and I plan to make right with all of my past investors. If there's anyone here that's dealt with a situation similar to regaining confidence and/or credibility after losing investor's money in the past, I'd like to hear what actions assisted you back into full fledged investing without the timidity after leading previous investors to disappointment.
