It’s no secret: We are all scared to take risks. But we must ask ourselves, “Is it worth the reward?” Just know, the greatest risk will produce the biggest reward.
Do you want to change careers, ask the girl out, invest or anything that creates a better life?
To me, at 59 years old, I’m running out of time, so I’ve taken a few risks. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If I lose, I’ve gained knowledge for the next risk.
What I’m trying to relay to you today is to go for it. Quit wishing because it’s time to get out there and start winning.
I’m fortunate to have a support system from my wife, Tina, and I hope you have the same support, too. If not, it’s your life, so don’t let the haters keep you from reaching your dreams.
If you feel stuck in a rut with current job position, put a plan together and build your dream job on the side. Once it gets traction, you can jump to full-on effort to make it a success.
Is there someone that you’ve been wanting to meet? What’s holding you back? If he or she is not interested, you can let it go. Otherwise, you’ve got nothing to lose and possibly an opportunity to find the perfect partner.
Several years back, I was frustrated with the medical industry that I’ve been involved with for more than 20 years. I told Tina, “I’m done with the corporate world, and it’s time for us to pursue our dreams.” To be honest, Tina was scared because the money and benefits were good, and if we failed, it would be financial devastation.
Well, as you all know, our business is booming, and we are changing others’ lives besides ours.
Look, quit wishing and start doing. We have a new year coming, so start going after your dreams and goals. Don’t listen to others’ negative comments and take over your own life.
Yes, we live in a world of risks, so be one of the few who are risk takers. This is your opportunity to be the person you’ve been dreaming of. Step out of your comfort zone and start living life to the fullest because the reward is greater than the risk.
