Everybody who goes through the business will make mistakes. The big question is how big will the mistakes be? How fast will they learn from the mistakes, and how quickly will they get the business in the correct direction?

One thing is certain in business. You and everyone around you will make mistakes.

I've made mistakes in business, but none so big I couldn't recover and learn from them. The more you try to change consumer behaviour, the riskier it gets. You have to work out your potential losses against the obvious gains.

Most businesses fail because they want the right things but measure the wrong things, and they get the wrong results.

In business, you learn from mistakes. In government, they never do.

The first mistake in public business is the going into it.

People need to understand: Businesses are going to make mistakes. They shouldn't be shot and hung every time.

Every time I make a mistake with a company, I write it out and try to figure out why it happened.

Everybody makes mistakes.

The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few.
