The school of hard knocks has great value. Always look forward…learn from your mistakes and don’t kick yourself.

I’ve found an absolute gold mine of mistakes to learn from, and they’re not all mine!

It’s kinda fun actually. A post scolding the web about grammar – with a huge, glaringly incorrect your-vs-you’re.

Or how about the post describing the virtues of easily understandable content from an author who is still polishing their ESL skills?

Or maybe the post on the importance on linkbacks that had two dead links?

Oh my goodness I could go on and on!

Ok, not that I’m perfect by any means, but my goodness.

We think a lot a like…I don’t see any reason to go it alone, and try to recreate the wheel anymore. If you can see opportunity in failures you are a step ahead of your competition already.

Hey Matt,

I couldn’t agree more.

Some of the greatest businesses and inventions have come as a result of another business persons mistake.

Market research is often about finding what is wrong or not perfect with other companies.

I find that blogging is the perfect industry to be in if you want to learn from others mistakes. Bloggers are so open with so many channels of communication which means their mistakes are often in full public view (often at their own choice).

Good post, Matt.
