7 WAYS TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER A MISTAKE

By YEC | November 16, 2016 | 1






Mistakes—especially the ones that make us cringe long after they’ve happened—can
make us feel as if we’ve taken one step forward only to take 20 steps backward.
We can cripple ourselves analyzing why we made the mistake, our mind tricking us
into thinking it’s irreversible, that we can’t move past this.

But good news: You can. So many mistakes are never as bad as they seem.

We asked members of the Young Entrepreneur Council how they deal with mistakes
and how they learn to move past them to do better in the future. Here’s what
they had to say.

Related: How to Make the Most of Your Mistakes


1. THINK ABOUT WHY YOU MADE THE MISTAKE.

When I make a mistake, I assess the mental and emotional state that led up to
the decision. In some cases, I realize that I made the decision out of fear. If
that’s the case, I dive into what generated that fear and build a mental model
around the emotion. I take the time to reflect on it with the hope that I’ll
recognize that emotion in the future and prevent it from affecting my day.

—Andrew Thomas, SkyBell Doorbell


2. REGROUP.

Mistakes are inevitable. They happen to everyone. When I make a mistake, I use
it as a time to reflect and regroup. Depending on what’s going on, it might mean
stepping away from my desk for lunch, taking a day off or scheduling a vacation.
The time away gives me an opportunity to let go of my initial emotion and start
thinking about what I can do differently next time to achieve different results.

—Amber Anderson, MORE


3. DON’T LET EMOTIONS GET IN THE WAY.

I believe the key is not letting emotion get in the way. Problems are often much
bigger in our minds than they are in reality. Instead of wallowing on the
mistake you’ve made, focus on what you can do to correct the issue. You will
begin to feel better when you start doing things to address the issue and feel
like you are back in control.

—Matthew Paulson, MarketBeat.com (American Consumer News, LLC)


4. MOVE ON.

Unless the mistake is catastrophic, I’m normally just focused on the next task
in the queue (which might be fixing the mistake). After a lot of
catastrophic-seeming mistakes, I’ve come to realize that few mistakes are
irreversible.

—Hongwei Liu, mappedin


5. LOOK FOR A POSITIVE OUTCOME.

Mistakes are going to happen and we cannot live life in fear of mistakes. When
mistakes do happen, it’s important to think about why that mistake happened and
learn how to avoid making it again. It’s also important to find a positive
outcome that came from making that mistake. Bouncing back is hard, but you
bounce back with more experience than before.

—Shalyn Dever, Chatter Buzz


6. MAKE IT RIGHT.

I cannot “bounce back” without righting the wrong—at least as much as possible.
This means going to the person who was affected by my mistake and owning it. It
also means, where appropriate, owning the mistake publicly as well.

—Kevin Conner, WireSeek


7. MAKE SURE IT DOESN’T HAPPEN AGAIN.

The worst mistake in business (and in life) is one that you’re repeating. Don’t
repeat the same mistake twice; make sure to not only learn from your mistakes
but implement processes and have discussions with your team to ensure they don’t
happen again. Also, don’t dwell on it; we all make mistakes. Positive thinking
goes a long way.

—Anshey Bhatia, Verbal+Visual
