Making mistakes is simply a part of life. It is something we don’t plan for. It would not be a mistake if it was coordinated. I like the idea that a mistake is a “miss take;” it’s missing a take on doing something.

We should all learn from mistakes. Unfortunately, not everyone does. It would seem like some people want to experience what others have gone through by the way they act. They do what others have done and have paid or is paying the consequences for, seemingly expecting to get a different result.

It’s the belief that “that will never happen to me. I’m smarter than that.”

One of the things I grew up hearing is “learn from other people’s mistake. Why make the same mistake.”

It would seem as if some people want to be martyrs. They go full-speed ahead heading for the same precipice others have already gone over.

This tend to be a pattern I’ve observed by a number of people in midlife.

In this episode, you’ll discover 5 mistakes that you need to avoid if you are going to experience a more successful future.

Avoid making mistakes like these:

Mistake #1: Thinking it is too late to do what it is you wanted to do

Mistake #2: Looking back with regrets

Mistake #3: Comparing yourself with others in an envious way

Mistake #4: Putting your life on cruise control

Mistake #5: Accepting the myth of midlife crisis

I share on some of the above ideas in my new book – The Midlife Launch, which you can access below. I also outlined in my eBook practical steps you can take to identify, clarify and pursue your dream / passion.
