That’s how you really learn small business lessons – through your mistakes, particularly when you are able to not only identify, but are willing to recognize and admit to your mistakes. It is not necessarily an easy process. I think this is an area at which I’ve gotten pretty good. In fact, I wrote an entire book on my small business mistakes alone.
