received an email from Joel.

He shared an email he received from a UK company called Decathlon.

But hey, mistakes happen. That’s just the nature of publishing content.

Which means you have two options:

Option #1: Never publish and guarantee that you will never make a mistake, say something others disagree with, or otherwise look foolish. 

Option #2: Do your best to be careful, but understand that sooner or later, a misteak is bound to happen. Then publish anyway.

Option 1 is how you stay safe. Option 2 is how you get clients.
