I had a book release
(product release)
this month
and it bombed.
I completely misread
my readers (customers).
I f*cked up.
I realize that.
I admit that.
I’ve learned from that.
I will be a stronger
business builder
in the future
because of it.
The first two steps,
realizing I made a mistake
and admitting
I made a mistake
(in this case,
only to myself),
are necessary
for the last two steps
to happen,
for me to learn from the mistake
and become better
because of it.
There’s a trend
in society right now
to not admit
we made mistakes
even privately.
Fight this trend.
You WILL make mistakes.
To ensure you don’t
make the same mistake
again and again,
recognize when you’ve made a mistake.
Admit that you’ve f*cked up,
even if it is only to yourself.
Learn from your mistakes.
