Being Wrong Miniseries #10

How to Know When You’re Wrong (Part 2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday, we went over how to effectively receive criticism and feedback…

But #4 was missing.

So far, we have "yes," "no," and "maybe.” So what could the 4th bucket possibly be?

4) "Have I heard this before?"

Sometimes we get a piece of feedback or advice and we think is wrong, so we throw it away.

Then another person will say the same thing, and we throw it away again.

But, if we continue to get the same feedback or criticism from multiple different sources, then we do NOT throw it away. Instead, we put it in the MAYBE category--and proceed with your inquiry.

If it turns out that something we thought was wrong is actually true, one of the greatest gifts we can ever receive.

It will get us unstuck in ways that will usually raise the ceiling on what we're capable of achieving or becoming in this lifetime.

Sometimes, if I keep getting the same piece of feedback from multiple people, I will put it in a "Potentially True" category and act as if the feedback was true to see what happens.

And when we surround ourselves with good, positive people who have our best interests at heart, learning that we were wrong and they were right can completely change our lives.

That has certainly been true of every single mentor that I have ever had.

Now you know how to receive feedback and make the best use of it! Let’s put it to use this month and see what happens in our lives.

Let me know if you have any great breakthroughs after using bucket #4…
