Business mistakes happen. When they do, multi-billionaire Warren Buffett says that you should get it right, get it fast, get it out, and get it over.

Hi Shannon,

Thanks for sharing Matt's post and I think most BizSugar contributors would agree that when a client facing mistake occurs -- for example one involving money -- transparency is the ONLY option. But I wonder if some entrepreneurs shoot themselves in the foot by pointing out mistakes to their customers and clients that no one would notice. For example, drawing attention to a video or blog post they are second guessing or agonizing in front of clients about something they forgot to mention in remarks delivered at a conference. In other words, there's a difference between mistakes that will cost a client and tarnish your reputation and efforts that no one has complained about but don't live up to your own expectations. And it's important to understand that difference.
