156: Taking Risks in Business and in Life

Risk is inherent in life. Every damn day. Whether you decide to stay the same or make a change. Like following the speed limit, or going 5 over…or tinting your driver's windows and getting pulled over by the same state trooper twice now. Like staying at the same 5 pound weights you've been using for 8 weeks, or going up to 8 pounders for this next strength session. Like swiping right or swiping left. Staying at your job with a steady paycheck or going all-in on your business. Each choice above comes with a risk whether you decide to "play it safe" or "take a chance." The risk of following the speed limit may be arriving late to your meeting, while going 5 over could get you a ticket. The risk of using 5 pounders is not seeing the muscle tone as quickly as you'd like, but going up to 8s means you might be sore tomorrow. Swiping right might mean…actually I don't know the difference between swiping right or swiping left, but you get the picture. There isn't necessarily a "right" or a "wrong" choice in any of the scenarios above, but one presents a bigger perceived risk than the other. Taking risk is inherent in life. We can choose to stay the path and follow the course we started down, or we can change along the way. Change is a risk. It's uncomfortable, and it's meant to be. Because part of taking risk is knowing and exploring and pushing what our upper limits are and finding ourselves at the edges of what is possible. Key Takeaways from the Podcast:

"Risk is inherent."
"March is the season of spring, a sense of renewal, a sense of rebirth, and I don't think it's a coincidence that anytime in my life when I've considered taking a risk or making a change...a lot of it does connect with this season of spring, this month of March."
"I really was just testing my upper limits, seeing what is possible...I never would have known what my limits were had I not tried this other path."
"Over time by increasing resistance, I increased my threshold of risk, I increased my thermostat of taking chances, and i was proving to myself...what I was capable of."
"And it's through some of those "small risks" that we take, that we really do prove to ourselves who we are."
"Part of taking risk is knowing and exploring and pushing what our upper limits are."
