Making Mistakes – Learn From Them

The next time you make a mistake, in order to make sure you learn something positive from the experience, ask yourself these seven questions (from Rob Woollard of StartupNation.com):

  1. What can I learn from this mistake without beating myself up?
  2. How can I handle this situation next time to ensure a more positive outcome?
  3. Does dwelling on this mistake any longer help my business, family, mental or physical health?
  4. Can I reframe this setback as an opportunity and move toward a positive change?
  5. In retrospect, can I see that past mistakes actually were blessings?
  6. Is this mistake part of my learning curve moving me toward greater success?
  7. Are there people I admire who have made major mistakes but still achieved great success?

Motivated Learners – Close Family Relationships

Highly motivated children tend to be those who have close, loving relationships with their families. Play the appreciation game. One person starts by naming the person on the right and saying "One hing I like about you is the way you….." It then becomes that person's turn to compliment the next person. When the turn has come all the way back around, skip to the second person on the right until everyone has complimented everyone else.

Each compliment must be something unique. If someone has already complimented Dad on his sense of humor, no one else can compliment him for being funny. End the game by each person giving a compliment to themselves.
