Question: What is your best tip for recovering from a major business mistake?
Take Time to Review
"Take a some time with a major mistake and retrace your steps. Look back and see where you went wrong first and fix any issues that might have led to the actual issue. Then forget it and move on, like a bad night out. The key is to learn from it and not make the same exact mistake again."

Seek Opportunity
"We are human and we make mistakes. A very wise man once said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." If you view mistakes as opportunities, you open more doors to positive growth."

Fail Forward
"In the event you make a mistake, learn from it quickly, apologize where appropriate, offer a value added product or service, and communicate the plan going forward to correct the situation and move on towards the end goals. Sometimes asking a client how they would like to see you correct the situation is the best approach after owning up to your mistake."
