Principles For Learning From Mistakes

Inspired by an Instagram post by @raydalio.

Do you learn from your mistakes?

As life coach and landscape painter Bob Ross said:
"There are no mistakes, just happy accidents"

Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone has happy accidents.
But successful people learn from those experiences.

So how do you do that?

Well, thanks to an IG post by legendary Entrepreneur Guru Ray Dalio, we now have a list of 9 Principles to guide the way.

If you don't follow Ray's feed already, head over there now - it's crammed with entrepreneurial wisdom and insights.

What's your biggest mistake, and what did you learn from it?
Let me know in the comments below.

I learnt long ago to reframe all mistakes or failures as an opportunity for learning. It probably comes from my background in design - always looking for ways to improve my solutions. There's always room for improvement...

I constantly quote creative business guru Chris Do whenever I hear someone talk about failures:
"F.A.I.L just means First Attempt In Learning"

I think I've said it a thousand times - I love how it reframes your mindset.
More of that please, less of everything else! hahaha.
