No one likes
to be wrong
but most of us are
much of the time.
Especially business builders.
We’re doing things
that haven’t been done.
We’re using information
that is ‘cutting edge’
and, as a result,
not established.
We’re making A LOT
of decisions
and often making them
quickly.
I’m known in my field
for saying things like
“THAT was a mistake.”
or
“I was so wrong about THAT.”
And because I’m known for this,
people come to me
when THEY make mistakes.
They’ll tell me
about promo strategies
they tried
and didn’t work.
They’ll tell me
when they get an error
while loading a book
(a product)
at booksellers.
They’ll tell me
about cover (packaging)
errors
and mishandling of reader (customer)
messages.
I learn valuable information
and save myself
from making the same mistakes
this way.
You’re a leader.
Lead by example
and admit
when you’re wrong.
This will benefit you
in the long run.
