Commitment to Mistake Making ... Hmmm

PMV

Published on October 9, 2010

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Earlier on this week it occurred to me that a way to break through many obstacles is a simple commitment to making mistakes - full on. I mean positively embracing them, rushing forward to met them with open arms, so to speak. That should blast through a few perfectionist cobwebs if nothing else!

 I'm sure I've heard something similar before but I don't know, it just felt a stronger feeling in the shower this week. Maybe it was striving for Platinum and then being afraid to lose it that triggered a solution.

The thing is, my next article was rejected, not one but twice! And for the life of me I can't get to grips with the nuts and bolts of why. And I'm a nuts and bolts kind of woman.

Not only that, the feedback I'm getting is ... mmm ... not hitting the spot in terms of specifics shall we say. And my teacher isn't getting back to me. Now that's ok because we all have lives outside business ... and I can't help being continually prodded by the notion that my answers are within.

Bu**ered if I can get them at the moment though ... except maybe just make more mistakes ... but without feedback how's that help? Hmmm ... ponder ponder ...

Right, better ponder to the bus stop or my boss will be pondering on no wages for Paula! Hmmm ...

Great weekends to all,
