Step 7 – How To Learn From Mistakes and Succeed.

How To Learn From Mistakes and Succeed.

You are going to need to try again if the action doesn’t work the first time.

You can’t always be right. Sometimes, after analyzing a situation or decision, you realize that you may have made a mistake. This is where the second part of this sentence comes into play. You’ll try again. In most cases, we will repeat the original actions but modify them so that we improve the outcome. You may have to correct some assumptions and tweak things around a bit, but you still do things exactly as you originally intended.

When you’re trying to achieve a goal, you tend to focus on the outcome. However, when you’ve analyzed a situation and learned something new, you adjust your actions, re-evaluate your goals, and try again. People who learned from failure were often much more successful than those who didn’t. So, if you want to improve your odds of success—learn from failure! You won’t always succeed at the things you try, but the ones that you don’t give up on will eventually come to fruition. 

This is the most difficult step to implement. The temptation to give up at this point may be great. But what happens if you do not try again? You will never know whether your actions could have worked if you had continued to try.

Determine What Went Wrong

To figure out what went wrong, take all the information that you’ve gathered and put it together to form a picture of how things went wrong.

 How do you determine what went wrong? What steps did you take to get to this point? Did you lose focus? Were you too optimistic? How could you avoid repeating this mistake?

Find the Reason for the Failure

There are two big reasons for failure: 1) You didn’t execute the strategy correctly; 2) you didn’t have the resources to execute the strategy correctly. Executing strategy correctly means following through with all of the actions needed to meet your goals. Not having resources available is a big reason why many people fail.

Identify Your Strengths and Weaknesses

While we all have strengths and weaknesses, they are less visible to others than they are to us. How often have you looked back on your life and said to yourself, “I really don’t like this part of my life.” You’re not alone. Many of us have a hard time acknowledging our weaknesses because we don’t like seeing the truth about ourselves. But when you start thinking about your strengths and weaknesses, they will soon become apparent. If you’re not sure what yours are, consider taking an inventory quiz.

How to determine if a problem is a weakness or a strength is a very simple exercise. Ask yourself, is this something that I need to fix? Or is this something that I’m going to do anyway? In other words, does it affect my success? The answer to that question should help you understand whether it’s a weakness or a strength. 

Identify New Strategies.

When it comes to identifying new strategies, there’s no need to worry about the fear of failure. It’s impossible to fail unless you give up trying.  

The second thing you want to do after analyzing your data is to identify new strategies. Identifying new strategies means you have to take a step back and examine the data you collected, as well as the variables that led to it. Once you’ve identified new strategies, then you’ll need to adjust your actions and tactics accordingly.

Take Action and Do It Again

Once you’ve analyzed your data, you can move on to new strategies. To avoid getting stuck on the same thing over and over again, you need to constantly reevaluate and adjust your actions.

Then Take Action, Analyze and Reflect and just keep on doing that until you achieve your goal.

In conclusion, when you fail, don’t throw in the towel. Instead, take a step back, analyze the issue, and adjust your actions so that you can have another chance at getting it right. You may need to repeat some steps, or you may need to try something different. If you keep repeating the same mistakes, you’ll never learn. So, when you fail, be willing to change. Learn from your mistakes, and keep moving forward. You will never succeed at everything. So, when you fail, don’t give up.
