Episode 20 - From Mistakes to Mastery: Turning Wrongs into Success with Process & Roleplay

As we all know, a process is always needed to ensure a successful outcome. Having a set of steps and procedures to follow can help save time and resources. Because of this, many electricians find ways to streamline their operations and increase efficiency by creating a process for the electrical work they do, whether it's sales or service. 

Hiring a trainer or a coach to come in and help create a process for you and your team is one of the strategies electricians run to when it comes to improving their operations. However, a mistake that's often made is not investing your 100% to make things work. 

Feeling like you're not in your A-game, or you're not doing enough is undeniably an emotional problem everyone tends to face at one point or another. But for some, just the act of investing cures that emotional problem. It doesn't make it better, but it does take away the feeling that you're not doing enough. 

Having this kind of mindset not only sets you back from making further progress but it could also prevent you from even beginning to improve your process. This can lead to bad decisions, roadblocks, and even burnout, affecting your business. 

People aren't willing to be wrong, and it's that fear of being wrong or failing that prevents some from even stepping up to the plate. They keep saying, "I'm in the batting cages, I'm warming up," when in reality, they need to step onto the field and accept that sometimes they will lose.

Accepting that it's okay to be wrong or fail is integral to pushing your business forward. Rather than viewing failure as something to be feared, view it as an encouragement to try harder, to adjust, and make changes. Don't be afraid to take risks, as well as learn from mistakes and failures.

Giving your all in making a process work and investing time and effort to refine it and improve it can eventually pay off. With each mistake or failure, you learn more about what works and doesn't work for your business. And more importantly, roleplaying and constantly practicing your process will ensure you don't make the same mistake twice.

By following a process and managing change, you can build momentum and confidence, leading to greater success for your business.
