It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note—it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.”

That quote from the legendary Miles Davis 🎺 isn’t just about jazz. It’s a masterclass in resilience for every single person in business.

We’ve all played a “wrong note.”
❌ The botched presentation. ❌ The project that flopped. ❌ The career pivot that felt like a mistake.

The immediate reaction is to freeze. To cringe. To let the silence hang in the air.

But the master performers—in music and in life—understand a secret: The mistake isn’t the story. The recovery is.

Your power isn’t found in a flawless performance. It’s found in your response to an imperfect one.
Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. It has kept more brilliant ideas locked in notebooks and more talented people on the sidelines than anything else.

Adaptation is your greatest asset. And wherever you are right now, you are one note away.
👉 One courageous conversation away. 👉 One bold decision away. 👉 One new note away from creating a whole new melody.

Your last note doesn’t define you. Your next one does.
