1 Reflect Deeply

After a business setback, it's crucial to take a step back and reflect on what transpired. Analyze the situation by identifying the factors that led to the failure. Was it a lack of market research, poor supplier relationships, or unforeseen customs issues? Understanding these elements can help you avoid similar pitfalls in future import/export operations. This process of reflection is not about assigning blame but about gaining clarity on what can be improved.

One thing that is most important is that when something goes bad, you don't have to assigning blame, but you need to think: "How can I improve in order to this kind of mistakes doesn't happen again?". In small companies is common to search for where to put the blame, but when you stop doing that and changes your mindset to "how can I make sure that we will learn and grow as a company with this mistake?" you will see that your company will grow faster and stronger. Don't search for blame, use the error as a powerful tool to learn and share this knowledge with your colleagues, so the mistake won't happen again and the team will be stronger.
