Our whole lives, it's drilled into our heads that mistakes are BAD!  We practice, we study, we learn so when it comes time for the test or some sort of big decision we're ready for our 100%.  Well rarley does the perfect score happen. Right? 

Before I continue let me say that practice, studying and learning are awesome and totally need to be done BUT its those mistakes during your practice, studying and learning that lead you to perfection. There's a method to my madness here! :)  Take my career in aviation.  Before I started flying passengers I had to learn to fly.  I didn't jump in the jet I fly today and say "ok board em up, lets go!"  I jumped in a small Piper where I practiced, studied, learned and WHAT?..........Thats right, made MISTAKES!  But, I LEARNED from those mistakes.  I know to watch for those mistakes.  Being "ahead of the game" if you will.  In the airline world, as pilots, we're constantly tested on a regular basis so we're ready for anything thats thrown our way, but starting out years ago we had to first learn.  And to learn you must make mistakes. 

The MLM world is the same.  Remember the first time you tried to "recruit" someone for your team?   Excuse the expression but I'm pretty sure it's called "diarrhea of the mouth" :).  You went on and on and probably told that person they were going to be rich!  Well as we know now, that was a mistake.  I can think of sooooo many stupid things I've done in my business, but I learned from my mistakes!  Thomas Edison took 10,001 tries to create the lightbulb.  He was asked if he felt like a failure because of all his tries. He stated that those were not failures at all, in fact he said he figured out 10,000 ways NOT to do it! 

Im not saying make mistakes on purpose, I'm just saying they're going to happen, and all we can do is learn from them.  So don't get discouraged about mistakes, just put a big smile on your face and say "damn, Im not doin that again".
