"Show me a person who never made a mistake, and I will show you a person who never did anything." - William Rosenberg (Founder of Dunkin’ Donuts)
In the startup world, mistakes are inevitable - and necessary.
They’re not signs of failure. They’re proof that you’re doing something. Learning. Growing. Creating.
Every mistake holds an opportunity:
• To adjust your strategy.
• To see your business from your clients’ perspective.
• To explore new ways of thinking, building, and leading.
• What if your “wrong turn” is what leads you to the breakthrough?
• What if it connects you more deeply with the people you're meant to serve?
You’re not here to be perfect. You’re here to build something real.
Let your mistakes teach you. Let them grow you. Let them lead you.
