Last week, I sent out my newsletter – only to realize a bit later that there was a formatting problem…which mangled the first sentence. Perhaps I could have caught it if I quadruple-checked the darn thing. Or maybe not. Sometimes even a thorough inspection still won’t catch everything. I hate making dumb mistakes like that. Grrr….
It’s not the first time I’ve made a typo in a newsletter. I’ve not only made typing blunders but I’ve also sent broken links as well.
Newsletters aren’t the only place that I encounter biz missteps. My emails don’t always have perfect grammar. My checkbook is sometimes off by a few pennies (or more). I’ve said the wrong thing at the wrong time and of course, because I work as a tarot reader, I’m not always right with my advice there either.
A mistake isn’t the end of the world for you or your business. Businesses make ‘em all the time. Remember when Coca Cola introduce New Coke? Yeah…that. They survived.
You will too.
If you’re running your own business, mistakes will be made. It’s going to happen sooner or later. It’s OKAY.
When it happens, course correct as fast as you can, apologize if necessary, move on, and above all, be kind to yourself. You are not an infallible machine. You are human.
Blessings,
Theresa

I’m definitely not your average Tarot expert — I drop the F-bomb, I quote rappers, and I’m obsessed with pop culture + reality TV. Folks come to me for straight-talk + tough-love — without the woo-woo fluff.
