The Contractor Commute
Ep. 91 - Making Mistakes and How to Move On
Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Mistakes aren’t just unavoidable—they’re essential. In this episode, we dig into why errors happen, how to handle them without blame or denial, and how to turn them into opportunities for growth.
You’ll learn the difference between recoverable slip-ups and critical failures, why humility is key, and how to build processes that prevent repeat mistakes. Perfection isn’t possible, but progress is—and mistakes are the path that gets us there.
