Introduction
There are two kinds of people in the world
01 - Who are absolutely terrified and petrified by the idea of making mistakes, and
02 - The kind of people who have understood and embraced the idea that mistakes are the stepping stones to success and are not afraid of making mistakes.
The latter category of people end up creating a life/ lifestyle wherein doing mistakes is a part of their process and they create an ecosystem where their mistakes are calculated, regulated and controlled to a great degree.
Intrigued, how does this work?

How Mistakes Unlock Growth
Imagine a simple situation.
Two content creators: Chris and Simon
Both Chris and Simon are content creators who share the same niche (cooking videos) and started creating content at more or less the same time about 24 months ago.
Chris posts intermittently and he is someone who spends a lot of time creating the most beautifully edited videos which gets him a lot of views and shares.
Simon creates content on a regular basis and even his content gets a lot of traction on social media platforms.
Imagine how many posts and followers do Chris and Simon have?
Chris has about 150 posts and 800k followers.
Simon has 985 posts and over 3M followers.
While Chris is busy working on the edit of one short form video for over a week, Simon ends up posting at least 2-3 raw videos in the same timeline.
While Chris gets a lot of appreciation for the presentation of his content, Simon has mastered the art of effortless connection with his audience, brands that he collaborates with on a regular basis and his personal brand is thriving.
Has Simon made more mistakes than Chris in these 2 years? Of course. Simon makes mistakes all the time, but he tends to make those mistakes publicly and his audience have accepted that to be a part of his personality and his personal brand.
He once toppled the cake just after he was done shooting the reel, and nobody ate the cake, but the cake looked perfect and before it toppled, it looked so decadent, people commented saying they would have bought the cake for $50 dollars in a heartbeat.
Success is all about the number of reps you’ve put in your skill.
More (quality) output will always lead to more brand recognition.
More brand recognition means a stronger brand positioning among all competitors in the market
Strong positioning means a more loyal audience.
More loyal audience means more revenues and more business.
