How do I recover from mistakes and bad impressions?

New AN1, hit the desk recently. Got staffed on two deals, both of which I made silly errors on.

Obviously I won't be making these same mistakes again. But I feel like once you make a mistake, your reputation gets hit and it becomes harder to impress people, even if you do good work.

Is it possible to recover from mistakes at all?
