How to Turn Your Mistakes into Entrepreneurial Gold by Kerry Hines

It's hard to believe but even a mistake has a purpose.. 

How do you take your past errors and use them to your advantage?  Many of us don't realize that our mistakes are part of the success process.  They don't realize that our mistakes are really elements of success turned inside out.  Yes.  Even mistakes have a purpose. 

Being an entrepreneur, it has taught me to utilize everything.  So, I have found a use for my errors in life.  I record them and seek the understanding of the lesson.  Making that mistake makes you an expert the next time you encounter that situation.  You cannot become an expert in that effort without that tried and true experience.  

Are all mistakes equal?  Well, yes and no.  Don't focus so much on the size of the mistake but the fact that every error, every mistake was well worth the effort.  You should also understand that life is filled with our ability to make these errors.  If there was no purpose behind them, life would be perfect and not rewarding, as we know it. 

Can you benefit from the mistakes of others?  Yes, but I love nothing better than making my own mistakes and having to correct them.  I do find myself listening to my friends and colleagues about their own mistakes.  I heed to advice, usually.  Most times I'll follow my own thought process, anyway. 

My advice is to focus on building a supportive network of friends and mentors and work them.  Let them help you to build contacts and show you the ropes.  

Making mistakes will teach you how to become a gold miner in the entrepreneurial gold rush of success!
