Don’t let it get you down, learn from mistakes made in business

Great entrepreneurs are good at failing. That’s what caught my attention in an article by Rhonda Abrams in USA today. Don’t let it get you down, learn from mistakes made in business. After all we all make them!  And that is what I call success, taking those failures, turning them around and applying those lessons to move forward.

Don’t let it get you down, learn from mistakes made in business

In fact you nearly have permission to make mistakes.

I found this great video from life & business coach Jeff Klubeck, giving a practical example on how  learn from mistakes  made in business and life.  He talks of a mistake ROI (Return on Investment), changing your mindset and using failures as life lessons. This has been quite a revelation to me as it’s so easy to get down in the dumps with a ‘poor me’ attitude rather than, ok, I made a mistake, what can I learn from this in order not to do it again. I hope this has a similar affect on you.
