#1. Moving away from
security towards risk
We often hear about entrepreneurs “taking risks.” Some even define the very act
of entrepreneurship as risky. I’m sure you’ve heard it all before.
In some ways, this is quite true: an entrepreneur who cashes out a life savings
or retirement account to fund a new startup is definitely moving away from
security and towards risk. Even the budding entrepreneur who quits his day job
to pursue a new idea for a home business is taking a risk.
But what does one risk by not taking advantage of a unique opportunity and
staying in the same job?
And what about relying on someone else for income? Isn’t it “risky” to count on
your employer for raises and greater opportunities?
I’m not about to take the hard line here and argue that entrepreneurship is
actually “safer” than the traditional employee route. Nor am I going to suggest
that 100% of people would be happier as entrepreneurs.
I am going to argue, much in line with Robert Kiyosaki, that entrepreneurship
should be part of everyone’s life in at least some way. Will this require a
little risk? Yes. But a little risk is healthy and will likely even contribute
to a greater sense of self-esteem and personal mastery.
Even a little risk-taking could be of real value:
Take a little risk and start a website that requires only a few hours per week
to maintain but slowly builds traffic and a nice supplementary income.
Take a little risk and sell your homemade crafts on eBay for a few extra bucks
here and there.
Take a little risk and write that book you’ve always wanted to publish.
Take a little risk and learn more about the stock market to become a savvy
investor.
Maybe your project will turn into something big. Maybe it won’t. Perhaps your
work will inspire you onto something else that really works. Perhaps not.
One thing you can count on is a big change in yourself and how you look at the
world.
The objective is not to become the next Donald Trump here. You’re simply trying
something new and getting out of your comfort zone. It’s just a little risk and
only a small move for big results!
