Performed by: 888
DJ: Kelley Buttrick, voiceover talent and owner of KB Voiceovers
What Can We Learn from Our Mistakes?
While not at the felony level featured in 888’s “Critical Mistakes” music video, I’ve certainly made my share of mistakes, especially with my business.
It’s easy to wallow in the feelings of failure after making a mistake, but how can we learn critical lessons from them?
One of the mistakes I made in my business was trusting the wrong person to represent me as my talent agent. This person not only betrayed me, but behaved unethically. What critical lesson did I learn? Listen to my gut when it tells me something is off.
What critical lessons have you learned from business mistakes?
