Is Your Future Worth The Risk?
By Darren Roberts
Copyright © 2002, All Rights Reserved
Interesting concept really! Is your future risky? No one
likes risks, but everyone wants the benefits associated
with having taken a risk and triumphed. So, what do you
do? Do you run the gauntlet and possibly fall flat on
your face or do you not risk anything and potentially
fall short of what is ultimately important to you?
A colleague of mine recently viewed his business in the
form of the stock market. It was where a share portfolio
was determined by the amount of risk he was prepared to
take. Of course, if he wanted to invest heavily in
speculative stock, risk would be high. Therefore,
potential windfall or gain would be considered risky. On
the other side, there are blue chip stocks where risk is
minimal, but so is the possibility for bigger winnings.
To make our breaks we need to open ourselves to the
concept of risk. As we open this door, it is only
prudent that we minimize our chances for loss; i.e.
manage risk to serve our needs. Ultimately, it is how we
approach and deal with risk that can provide us with the
desired outcome of a highly lucrative and flexible
lifestyle.
Let's look deeper at what risk really is. Regrettably,
it is seldom understood and leveraged adequately to
create the lifestyle choices desired by many. Firstly,
risk doesn't need to be viewed as "risky". Risk
generally involves tackling something you haven't
successfully attempted before. Also, even if you have
succeeded earlier, conditions may have changed and
increased risk accordingly.
Risk, like everything, needs to be managed. It must be
minimized. The only way this can be done is with
knowledge. Everything happens for a reason. Your task
with reducing risk is to educate yourself in your area
of interest so you have a better chance of success.
Going back to the stock market example, which one
sounds more risky: speculation or investment?
The difference is, one is a gamble and the other is a
business decision with substance. The difference is the
knowledge to make an investment decision as opposed to
placing a few chips on the roulette table.
It has been my goal since I incepted my virtual business
4 1/2 years ago to assist as many people as I can with
getting what they really want from their lives. The only
way this can happen is if the risk factor is minimized.
Just imagine the awful feeling you would have in your
stomach if you were to constantly speculate your future!
It is a game of roulette. Life doesn't need to be a
gamble. With greater applicable knowledge, the
likelihood of achieving desired results is greatly
enhanced.
Businesses have gone to the wall simply because they
had insufficient knowledge to make it work. There is
an inversely proportional relationship between risk
and knowledge. Sure, risk can never be taken out of
the equation entirely, but the more time you invest
in exploring your areas of interest, the less risky
it becomes.
To succeed at anything, we need knowledge and
experience. Many of us were raised understanding that
failure was bad. Okay, so it's not good, but it has
lessons within that need to be learned. You can't
honestly expect to strike the batter out to win the game
without experience or deliver the ultimate sales
presentation from the word go. It is this very
experience that we need from research and application
to make better-informed decisions. It is such knowledge
that can reduce risk. How often have you said, "If only
I'd known then what I know now"?
This isn't life giving you a slap in the face for being
ignorant. On the contrary, it is adding to your
strengths and reducing your weaknesses. The trick is
never to risk too much until your knowledge base is
sufficient to produce desired results. This way you gain
in confidence as you develop with your goals, desires
and successes.
Like everything, baby steps are required. If you want it
all now without having done the apprenticeship, you will
most likely get yourself burnt.
This is why businesses grow steadily. They make small
mistakes as they go, they learn from them, expand and
can eventually move up to the next level. It has to be
steady. It has to be proportional to knowledge. As each
day passes, your knowledge expands. It is this knowledge
that gives you the edge to make your future your own.
A SIMPLE EXAMPLE
When you get on a train or when you drive across town to
get to work, you are taking a risk. It is possible
that's something may interrupt your car journey such as
hectic traffic or a faulty signal. A bus may take a
wrong turn and change the shape of your car.
However, what is the risk? You know how to drive. Others
do too. After all, they need a license in order to do
so. The drivers have car sense and knowledge to minimize
the risk of an accident. In fact, driving to work is so
automatic for you now that experiencing an automobile
mishap probably doesn't even enter your mind.
From experience, you know that trains are a very safe
method of transport. Yes, there are accidents, but we
seldom think of a train journey as a risky affair.
Through constant instruction & training, continually
updating & upgrading railway tracks and the
computerization & automation of signals, this form
of travel is maximizing its capabilities; thus
minimizing risk.
It is armed with this thirst for risk minimization that
we should tackle everything. We go to college for a
reason. Everything happens for a reason. All we need to
do is learn the lessons therein and we can make better,
more informed decisions. Over time, risk can be reduced
substantially (i.e. minimized).
It is the desire of us all to be the people we want to
be with the flexibility we deserve. It is important to
remember that you can't just "be" this person. You must
gradually "become" this person.
You can't just jump from now to then. You need to work
on yourself to gain necessary experience and confidence.
If you try to make too big a leap, your risk is not
being minimized or managed and may backfire at you. You
must always be looking to improve your lifestyle, unless
you have arrived at the pinnacle already.
Our future doesn't need to be risky. Minimize & manage
risk today and you will receive the benefits tomorrow.

Joan, the town gossip and supervisor of the town's morals,
recently accused George, a local man, of being an alcoholic
because she saw his pickup truck parked outside the town's only

George stared at her for a moment, and said nothing.
Later that evening, he parked his pickup truck in front of her
house and left it there all night.
Equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is a balanced
