Any successful entrepreneur understands the value of mistakes. They welcome failure as an opportunity to learn what’s required to tackle the next venture or improve on the current one. With experience, s/he becomes so comfortable with these events that when they occur, there is a system in place to gather information and analyze what happened. The process is smooth and expected.
If you think about it, this is true of everyone. The artist smoothly accepts mistakes, corrects them, and moves forward towards mastery. The athlete watches film, analyzes performance, makes the required adjustments, and comes back better. The educator delivers a lesson, examines its impact on the students, and makes informed decisions about how to proceed. We all witnessed this process in action as children. Our parents had no idea how to be parents until they were. We were all types of human and unpredictable. They learned along the way by trial and error. They made TONS of mistakes and never claimed failure. How could they? Life continues, straight through the mistakes. The only way you can officially fail, is if you stop. Even then, the opportunity to learn and grow sits and waits for your triumphant return.
