How to Break Down Financial Losses with an After-Action Review

We’ve all faced financial setbacks in one way or another. A bad investment, an unexpected bill, a business venture that didn’t go according to plan — these financial hiccups can leave even the best of us feeling discouraged and unsure of how to move forward.

That’s where After-Action Review (AAR) comes in. The AAR was originally developed by the US Army as a structured way to learn quickly from soldiers’ experiences in the field. But the AAR is also a powerful tool that can help us recover from financial setbacks and turn them into stepping stones for future success.

In this episode, Dylan walks you through the AAR process, illustrating its potential with his own financial setback. Stick around to learn how you can leverage this tool to transform financial losses into valuable lessons.
