    Anyone willing to share details about past mistakes and consequences/resolution?

    Being a trainee, having recently started my own jobs on the side, I'm highly conscious of not making mistakes. Obviously something everyone should do, but to some extent I am probably overly focused/anxious about this at the moment as I don't need anything to knock my confidence, and more...
