Three Types Of Mistakes
Mar 11, 2025
People mess up.
It’s what makes us human, not defective.
Sometimes, mistakes spark genius.
Other times? Just extra work and frustration.
Either way, they’re inevitable.
The trick? Knowing what kind of mistake you’re dealing with.
Here are three kinds:
🔥 THE SLIP
Typos. Missed deadlines. Wrong email. Oops. Annoying? Yes. But if it’s not chronic, let it slide. Grace goes a long way.
⚡ MISFIRE
They worked their tail off - on the WRONG thing. Great effort, bad aim. The fix? More training, better guidance, and, let’s be real - more experience.
🚨 MALICIOUS
Someone intentionally wrecking the game? That’s not a mistake - it’s sabotage. Pros don’t do this. They’re doing it on purpose? Fire. Them. Now.
You know what would be the real mistake? Us not being connected. Let’s fix that now —> Eric Woodard
