i don’t allow myself to actively or passively deflect accountability to happenstance, generalities or other people.
the mistakes, errors, oversights, misconceptions, fallacies and delusions i’ve had in my life have been the direct result of my behaviors, my decisions and my responses – no one else. simple.
as a risk taker, entrepreneur and go-getter, i’m very vulnerable to the consequences of “learning as i go”. as a result, i’ve crashed and burned, i’ve failed, i’ve lost, i’ve won and succeeded. no matter what, i push past the thought of something and straight into reality of something.
i corrected some mistakes and behaviors after the first occurrence, other mistakes and behaviors have taken me much longer to confront, admit, overcome and correct.
my mess is my message and my failures are just as valuable to me as my successes.
i know that people are easily aroused by one-sided, sensationalized headlines so here i chronicle a handful of my messes via my own introspection.
as long as i’m alive, i’ll continue to update this list…
denied auditions
rejected business opportunities
failed business ventures
