The Mistakes Show

The FI Planner

As an entrepreneur, failure is inevitable. Learning how to view your mistakes as opportunities for growth and minimizing their impact is key to moving forward.

In this episode, Ben and Deb recall their own “oopsies” and why sometimes the only thing you can do is acknowledge your mistake and grow from it.

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

• Making mistakes as an employee vs. small business owner
• The value of accepting and learning from your mistakes
• Avoiding the negative feedback loop and embracing a growth mindset

Must-listen moments:

[00:03:30] It's about progress. It's not about perfection. The stakes feel much, much higher whenever it's your image, your business, your accounts that are being affected by the mistake that's been made, but it's about learning from your experiences and taking that failure as an opportunity to move forward instead of staying stuck.

[00:13:55] If you want your business to grow and succeed, you're going to have to be okay with not just making the mistake. You’re going to have to be okay with losing money on that mistake.

[00:22:00] Mistakes need to get owned and they need to be learned from, and then we need to use them as opportunities to make adjustments.
