I don't think its possible to know what mistakes he's made. It seems very possible that Ozpin's mistakes involve friends and family of his past. Most likely the death of a relative or close friend. It reminds me a lot of Dumbledor, who seemed all wise and powerful and invincible, but then (spoiler alert if you live under a rock) he died. We also found out that he had siblings, one of which was killed when he got into a fight (end spoilers). It is also possible, and this one may be a long shot but it just popped into my head so I'm going to right it cuz internet, that he had something to do with Crimson and her being the highly powerful villian she is now. It is possible he taught her how to be a huntress, but made some sort a mistake that betrayed her trust, leaving her with a hatred towards hunters and huntresses.
