Ouch! Those costly mistakes.
One quick way to get ahead is by not making mistakes.
Not every mistake costs us money. In fact, the learning experience garnered from making mistakes can more than offset any financial costs in most circumstances. It could probably be said that more experience is gained from failure than from success!
A person shared the following perspective with me “Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it”
The big trick.
Don’t avoid mistakes; just avoid those that cost you time, energy, money, and dignity. The rest you can probably put up with. Incorporate a process that allows you to learn from other people’s mistakes or experiences.
Trusted advisors can be a crucial part of your process if you suffer the time to find the right ones. If you are considering any decision that involves significant risk, then take advantage of avoiding a mistake rather than learning from it.……after all, what do you have to lose!
