A Case For Mistakes

This isn’t a case for mistakes that happen naturally.

This is a case for thinking about what mistakes might happen. What’s possible to fail? Where are the hiccups?

The only thing about a plan that we know to be true is that things won’t go as according to it.

So how can you safe guard?

Role play.

Imagine the scenarios that a hiccup might occur and not only what you would do to correct it, but what would you do to ensure it never happens again.

Then take a page from that playbook and apply it before the hiccup happens.

This won’t prevent every problem and mistake from happening, but it will prevent more from happening than what will occur if you don’t.

Stay Positive & (Fictitiously) Make More Mistakes
