Accept Your Mistake and Shift Strategies

"A business leader can't let his ego get in the way of saying, 'We've made a mistake here and we've got to shift our strategy.'"
- George Bodenheimer

Many business leaders let their egos get in the way of not wanting to admit they're running the wrong strategy. All this does is drive their business into a deeper hole.

The video below, while not even 90 seconds, is a perfect summation of how to and why it is important to accept a mistake and alter your course as a business. This is George Bodenheimer, the former President of ESPN, talking about the mistake of the ESPN Phone launch.

  • I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
