In order for you, the entrepreneur, to expand your business, you need to get comfortable with taking risks, but, taking risks isn’t about making ad hoc decisions, it’s about educating yourself, mitigating the downside, making a decision to proceed or not, and then, executing as flawlessly as possible.
Taking risks is at the heart of building a thriving business, and in creating wealth.
These risks taken in business, not just in running your business, but, in your investments as well, will dictate how successful you ultimately become.
So how do you know when and how to take risk?
In this podcast, I review something I’ve called the Risk Compound Effect, and it goes like this:
The better educated on a particular topic you become, the finer your decision-making instinct becomes. —–>
The finer your decision-making instinct becomes, the higher the chance your bet will pay off. —–>
The higher the chance your bet will pay off, the bigger the bet you can take, and —->
The bigger the bet you can take, the more you compound your success. —–>
In this podcast episode, I will be discussing four critical criteria for risk-taking you must understand in entrepreneurship.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
