Summary
In this episode, I talk about mistakes and what you have to do after you make one. ALL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS MAKE MISTAKES! And every student who has EVER gone through the Academy has made mistakes too. Every Single One!! What separates the successful Academy students from those who are not successful is what happens after the mistake is made. This week I talk about some of the ways you can overcome making a mistake. Remember: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill Thank you all for listening! Have a great week! FOR HELP: To set up a FREE call: sidebysideatc.com/scheduler/free-consult Pre-Academy If you are heading to the Academy in the next few months, I put together a structured 90-day preparation blueprint that walks you through exactly what to focus on each month before you go. It's designed to help reduce shock and build confidence before day one. You can download it at: sidebysideatc.com/page/blueprint .
