Every Mistake Is A Gift

I’ll admit I’ve made a ton of mistakes in life- we all have, right? To be honest, I can’t say I regret even a single one. I see error as a means to an end, an opportunity to learn, and a way to optimize future situations and processes.

This holiday season, let’s consider each and every mistake a gift. Did an error at work cost you your job? Unwrap that gift- you’ve got an improved skillset and a better opportunity waiting. Perhaps you’ve overspent on luxuries this year. Don’t kick yourself, now is the opportunity to learn key financial planning skills. Maybe it’s as simple as having picked up the wrong flavor of yogurt at the grocery store- find out if you like it! You see, every error pushes us to learn more, be more, and do more. Perhaps I’m being overly optimistic, but I prefer to consider it the truth.

When it comes to financial processes, there is tremendous room for error. Thousands of cells in spreadsheets with the potential to have a missing digit, a misplaced decimal point, or an extra zero- all of which can cause financial catastrophe. And this is not unheard of, even in some of the most strongly controlled firms out there.

The question remains: what good comes from an intense IRS investigation and erroneous financial statements? Well, this can be one of your greatest gifts. Unwrap it and see what’s inside.
