I think it is important to realize that those little errors and misjudgments you had will help you grow and learned from them. The most important thing you need to realize is that it is almost impossible to succeed instantly in anything you undertake in life. In order to grow, we all need to learn. And you can only grow with experience and by making mistakes. When you make mistakes, (which you will in course of your personal or business life), you analyze them, then you make appropriate decisions to change what you did. Now you probably understand what I was saying above that it is almost impossible to grow without making mistakes and encountering obstacles. In order to grow you need to know what works and what doesn’t. As you learn from your mistakes, you rectify them and you can grow.

"I learned more from one restaurant that didn’t work than from all ones that were successes."

– Wolfgang Puck, chef, restaurateur

The important thing is not to be upset but to see something positive in everything that happens to you. Remember proverb. Every cloud has a silver lining. Let me give you a prefect example. At end of my second year in business I realized that I would have done better if I had used U.S call centers instead of Indians call centers. I even consider that it had been a mistake. I asked my partner to find a U.S call center and she did through a B2B website. When I learned about such a service I thought it was so a great idea and I decided to launch a website that would offer same service. WOW! This business is a great success and has brought my company GREAT REVENUES.

One important thing is to evaluate your situation regularly. Don’t wait till end of year to find out what you accomplished during year. If you do that at end you are most likely to be unsatisfied with your yearly sales revenues.
