lemons into lemonade

To turn lemons into lemonade, you need to start with lemons. I am inviting you to submit your mistakes here as an opportunity to learn and to share the insight with others. Maybe you have already figured out what went wrong. Or maybe you are still unsure what you should have done different.

The community is wiser than any one individual. Human beings make mistakes and we tend to repeat the mistakes given specific assumptions or blind spots. In other words, normal, day to day behavior will kick up patterns of mistakes. A checklist is a way to stop the mistakes. A checklist is a way to distill down best practice so it can be successfully applied each time there is a decision to be made. You will be armed and ready for your next deal with a checklist.

Share the mistakes you have experience with. Small or large does not matter. More important is the mistake gives us a starting point from which to build a better tomorrow. Contributing here feeds the system by which we all get better and more successful.

Though out the ages people have stood on the shoulders of giants and because they did they could see farther. There is no need to repeat the past when we can just learn from those who already have the experience. The choice is yours. Please contribute.
