James Malinchak"s Learn From Your Mistakes
"Every problem has in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem. The greatest success stories were made by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity!" -Joseph Sugarman
Do not try for perfection because perfection is hardly ever achieved. Being perfect is stressful and unnecessary. Also, you must understand that you are going to make mistakes while trying to achieve your goals. Making mistakes is a part of the success process. Understand that the problem is not that you make a mistake. The problem arises when the same mistake is repeated time and time again, or when you don't take responsibility for your actions.
You will overcome the mistake a lot faster if you admit it, correct it, and learn from it. Look for an opportunity to improve. Often, there is a greater lesson to be learned via a mistake than a victory. We often learn how to adjust our thinking to several circumstances. Sometimes a mistake means you have taken action, and that can be more beneficial than being stagnated.
Assess the mistake and answer the following 2 questions:
What was the main cause of the mistake?
What could I learn that is going to help me to refrain from making the same mistake later on?
As soon as you decide the source of the error, than you could answer the question to overcome recreating the problem again. Finding the source could be frustrating at times as it could be difficult to pinpoint. However, in retracing the steps of actions, you eventually will be able to determine what happened. In this situation, you could find it was an action of an employee or a business partner, however, assume responsibility for not following up with them, monitoring them, or reminding them of what must be done. Remember, it's unlikely that you had no responsibility in the situation.
We sometimes find it was ourselves that was the problem. The most difficult part of learning is overcoming destructive habits that create the mistakes. Those situations cause havoc for people as they are the mistakes that often get somebody fired. Therefore, you need to decide of how valuable the client.
In making the changes needed to get over mistakes, you see the value in the error. Often much better products, smarter decisions, and more value come once the mistake is corrected. Therefore, don't fret over errors, just take action to correct them. Another ability to overcome mistakes is to find solutions to repair, replace, or rectify the problem before the problem is seen by others. In this case scenario, whenever you admit the error and have available or in place the solution, so that the damage is lessened. In the best case scenario, the other parties might be impressed creating another advantage to having you around.
