Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

It's human to try to allocate blame on someone or something else -- to think one of your employees dropped the ball or that luck simply wasn't on your side. It's natural.

He says if you're truly passionate about your project, you'll take active steps to improve and make sure that mistake never happens again.

Otherwise, you're just making excuses.
