“Learning from others’ mistakes has taken all the fun out of making my own.”
~ Dennis van Westerborg
As much as we try to avoid making errors, it is often by our mistakes that we learn important information about ourselves. Mistakes can even lead to doors of opportunity and a further development of capabilities. Please join Steve and friends as they rattle down the dusty road of mistakes.
