I sent the wrong email to 50 professional contacts

Colleagues,

​MVP: When we make mistakes, clean them up and then move on.

I have been blessed with being the president of my local homeowners association (sarcasm intended). This morning I put together an email summarizing some recent thoughts on changing the bylaws. We have a spreadsheet with all the members of the HOA and I copied the column with their email addresses and pasted them into a draft email.

Something happened and about 50 of my professional contacts got added to the email.

Of course, I only noticed this after I had sent the email and someone not in our HOA contacted me.

I sent another email apologizing profusely.

And then, I moved on. 

Sometimes we step in things and make messes. We clean it up as best we can, and then we move on.

Today’s intention: Mess something up lately? Give yourself grace.

Cheers!

Frederick
