I’m reading a lot at the moment, and most of the books I’m going through all seem to have the same motto for risk taking…

Risk takers are winners

Hmm, well I kind of agree, you do need to take risks to become successful, to push yourself beyond the safe zone etc etc… But for me, it’s all about taking the right risks. There really is no point in taking risks left right and center because that’s what makes you brilliant. It’s not.

The only problem is, what are the right risks to take? How do you know to take x risk but not y? Difficult one that, and it’s down to you as an individual to figure that one out. As long as you at least aim to take the right risks, your 50% on the way to knowing which ones aren’t so right.
