I have been a business owner for almost 25 years and there is one thing that is 100% certain. Typos and grammatical mistakes bring out the Nazi in people… Yikes!
Try this, send out an email to 1000 people with one minor but common typo… and see who and how they reply. SOme point out the mistake in true contribution and respectfully. While others are down right nasty and derogatory. It’s not pretty…
Here’s the greater point of this post and for your consideration. Are you playing the game of life & business full out or trying to be perfect? If you’re a fan of sports, you know that on the court – mistakes happen. Business, just like sports has winners and losers.
WITH ONE BIG EXCEPTION: In Business The Only Losers Are Those That Don’t Play.
If you’re playing full out in life or in business you’re going to make mistakes. What matters is how you recover from the mistakes. Also, in business and in life there are critics, naysayers and all around jerks that can’t wait to jump on any and every mistake that YOU/I make… More power to them, I only ask is that the best place to put you attenting and intention?
