This chapter explores the importance of discerning between urgency and importance when making decisions. It also discusses the challenge of not allowing others to impose their urgency on you and shares personal experiences related to pricing mistakes and client satisfaction.
Have you had something go wrong at work? Like really wrong? How much of it do you feel was your fault? And are you still trying to move past it?
The Amys and their former co-host Sarah Green Carmichael revisit times they majorly messed up, in hopes that you’ll feel better about your experiences with failure. We’re not talking about honest mistakes with simple solutions; we’re talking about larger problems that were difficult and costly to correct. They share what happened, how they recovered, and what they learned.
