What to do when it doesn't work

1. Apologize
2. Connect with your support group
3. Breathe
4. Evaluate the mistake
5. Create a plan to overcome
6. Learn your lesson, but let the failure go
7. Try again.
8. And again.

What NOT to do:

1. Give up
2. Let the failure define you
3. Believe the naysayers

Everyone stumbles, miscalculates and falls short. You can never predict the successes and failures. But you can decide which list of above items you choose.

No one else gets to make that decision, just you.
