I hope for this thread to be continuously added to over time to show mistakes are being made everyday in our daily pursuits and how we learn from them.

Being in the early stages of my current business project, many mistakes are being made and learned from on the regular. I ensure there is a lesson learned from these mistakes and some are more valuable than others.

What mistake have you made that has led to the most valuable change to your business, process or goal you are trying to achieve?

As for me, due diligence in my decision making process. I blew money on an early business opportunity where I had not done my research and allowed emotion to take over. Due diligence and proper research is essential, im glad i prioritised it early.

I would love to hear what your mistakes have been.
