I don't want to sound like a smart a** because this is a real learning, but also may help you get better responses. One of the main things I have learned is how to ask better questions. Asking what was the biggest lesson is like asking which part of the fire is hottest. They are all big lessons. There are so many takeaways that unlock deal flow, network, contacts, deal structure, etc that it is literally impossible to pin one down as the most important As we have worked through different situations, had strategy sessions around deal structure, deal flow, due diligence, etc.... the lessons are endless, as they should be

This would be very vague to answer, as there are so many learnings that one gets through their search journey based on the differences in past experience. It would be better to understand what do you really seek to figure out, and thoughts can be shared around those.
