Mistakes – Page 4 – Disney Brand Loyalty Keynote Speaker

Perhaps the biggest discovery from making decent mistakes

Twitter headers — What does it take to become and remain world class?

Have you discovered the greatest thing about making mistakes?

Making ‘mistakes’ isn’t fatal?

It’s actually freeing.

Free to try & maybe fail again.

Beats the heck out of wondering ‘what if”.

Go.

We Are Not So Smart When We Know What Should Be Done, But Fail To Do It

We aren’t so smart when we avoid doing what should be done. But we can learn to forgive ourselves. By midlife, we ought to be fairly well schooled on the power of forgiveness, right? What’s nearly unforgivable though, is our long term failure to learn from our mistakes. Make as many as you can, but learn. Always learn. Go.

When We Don’t Go, We Make Mistakes, But We Don’t Make Any Progress

We really don't want to focus on the obvious so we medicate & distract ourselves

Two types of mistakes a Baby Boomer can make, says Midlife Celebration’s prolific blogger jeff noel. The first is in trying, but failing. These are good, honest mistakes. Fail, yes. Quit no. More often though, in midlife, we make the dangerous second type…

The second type of mistake is an act of omission, in not trying. As we inch closer to 2012, consider making a bold, but not stupid, move. Three years ago on January 1, 2008, noel started an LLC. Scary, yes. Bold, yes. Go.

When We Go, We Make Mistakes, But We Also Make Progress

We Boomers should love a good mistake as much as meat eaters love a good beefsteak. Ultimately, the only thing holding anyone back is the fear of making mistakes. Lack of resources like money, time, experience, connections…all of these are excuses masking the fear of failure.

1 Overlooked Short Cut To Success

Was talking to a really smart Fortune 100 executive recently, someone I’ve know for over a decade. We don’t speak regularly, but when we do, we each walk away with something good.

He shared an insight about knowledge and time. Today’s emerging workforce has all the knowledge the world has ever known at their beck and call. One click takes them there. Instantly. We didn’t have enough time to debate, but the insight for me is this:

Knowledge is no substitute for time. Time is like money. The more you have, the wealthier you are. Time, well spent, buys you experience, something knowledge alone can not offer. The compound interest of time nets wisdom.

Wisdom comes from experience, and experience comes from making mistakes.

The long way is the shortcut to success.
