Oh dear.I made a mistake!
Of course, you did!
So, what are you going to do about it? Cry over it? Clean it up? Start all over again?
Hey, ball's in your court...it's your move...it's like a game of checkers... I'm waiting.
- Wrong keyword. Not the end of the world. Choose another one.
- Bad domain. Crisis over...get another one...maybe $14.
- Post not indexed on Google...write another one.
- Chose the wrong scheme...choose another one (back up your website first!)
- Wrote a blog and put my website link in it...don't do it again.
See how easy that was?
Probably there are not many things here that you can do on WA that will end your internet career. There are a few rules, a few no-no's...not a lot, but they are important. Okay, so you broke a rule. Apologize and don't do it again...what's the big deal?
Saving face... I hear it all the time. I made a mistake and no one will believe me again. Yes they will...just don't keep making the same mistake.
I wrote a blog and didn't get my facts right...okay, say you made a mistake... I've done it...no big deal
Our harshest critic is ourselves. Ever known someone you thought didn't like you only to find out they didn't even know you? Ever meet someone who didn't speak to you and you jumped to the conclusion that they hated you?
Happens all the time. We all make mistakes. Just don't keep doing them.

The only way to truly quit making the same mistakes is to recognize that it’s a mistake decide what you could do differently and THEN don’t do it again. If you don’t recognize you’ll only do it again because that was already your best thought.
I just happen to be wearing a t-shirt that says, "Some mistakes are too much fun to only make twice".

It happens. No such thing as perfection. More mistakes happen when we think we are infallible. Recognize the issue and correct.
That’s the attitude.
Thanks
