💡 Tip — Day 182

Use the 10-Minute Loss Autopsy. The goal isn’t to beat yourself up — it’s to turn a lost deal into a sharper next deal. 1. Trigger: What changed first — urgency, budget, authority, trust, or timing? 2. Miss: What assumption did you make that you didn’t verify? 3. Signal: What warning sign showed up earlier than you admitted? 4. Upgrade: What question, asset, or stakeholder would you add next time? This is Dweck’s growth mindset in practice: make the lesson specific enough to reuse. 🎯 Try this today: Pick one lost or stalled deal and write one sentence for each step of the 10-Minute Loss Autopsy.
