Simply speaking, you know the answer!!! Yet you are trying to forget your business failures and the mistakes you made. In real business world mistakes/failures are more important as they offer the opportunities to learn more things. After all for learning/making some thing or for developing a new skill you have to spend some thing; it can be time, money, relationships or physical activity.

There are some things which are more important, including,

• Limiting the effect/spreading of the failure or mistake.
• Not repeating the mistake in future.
• Finding and healing the cause of the mistake/failure.
• Analyzing competitors and others for same mistake/failure. It should be much easy to outperform them.
• And keeping the spirit up.

There is no perfect business strategy in this world, every thing has advantages and disadvantages. It is the time and situation that causes either advantage or disadvantage to outperform the other. Mistakes happen so common in out life that we many times fail to identify them, or if we find them we have no time to correct them (which is simply ‘one another mistake’). A good businessman is one who can identify the mistake he made and is willing to correct that as soon as possible.
