Managing Digital Mistakes FLAWsome, etc.

Have you ever made a mistake?

Lord knows I have!

I have hurt people, I have been disrespectful and I have spoken without thinking… particularly on social media. We all have. When we are upset sometimes we release our emotions online, which can be okay. However, a lot of the time we do not realize the permanent and negative effects that releasing emotions online can have on our reputation.

It can ruin friendships and business relationships. Although, there are ways to manage the mistakes we make online so that they cannot ruin our relationships.

First, it is important to recognize that you are FLAWsome.

Flawsome is understanding that your flaws are exactly the things that makes you awesome. However, it is also how we can manage our online mistakes.

When know you are FLAWsome, you are not afraid to own your mistakes! Let’s be honest, there is nothing worse than when somebody knows they are wrong but refuses to admit it just to save face. Doing that just makes things worse.

Owning what you have done wrong gives you an air of credibility, it makes you relateable. That is all anyone wants in life; to relate to someone, to know they are not alone.

So why not be that for someone? You are going to be wrong at some point, you are going to make mistakes online eventually. Let’s just be FLAWsome and not only improve ourselves as brands, but as people and help others to feel secure in their own struggles too!
