Winning at Interior Redesign #3

We all make mistakes. Every last one of us.

It's a foregone conclusion that you will make mistakes in life and in business. It happens to us all. But one of the reasons that separates successful people from unsuccessful people is their ability to learn from their mistakes.

If you push your failures and mistakes under a rug and ignore them, you will miss out on a great opportunity to stay on track.

Try to look at life as a series of "lessons". Some will be good lessons; some will be bad lessons. But whether good or bad, they are both part of the process of getting you to your goals - if you let them.

I've made plenty of mistakes or poor judgment calls in my business career. I have deep regrets about many choices. But one thing is certain: I always, always learned from my mistakes. As a result my business is far better today than it was last week or last month of last year.

Analyze every error you make. Decide what you will do differently in the future. Expand. Improve. Make clear. Test.

And lastly. Don't beat yourself up. When you always try to make the best decisions with what you know at the time, then don't beat yourself up afterwards. You will grow and learn and develop, trust me. Don't be so hard on yourself.
