I found Mistakes in My Book: Why Not Trying is the Biggest Mistake of All || Growth Spurt
Oct 22, 2026
In this Growth Spurt, I share a moment from narrating my audiobook for *Sticky Habits* when I spotted small errors that survived countless rounds of editing. Spiraling into self-doubt, I had to remind myself that even masterpieces like Harry Potter and Oppenheimer aren't perfect — and that mistakes aren't just unavoidable, they're a necessary part of the path. The only way to avoid mistakes is by not trying, and that's the biggest mistake of all.
