If you go to www.freebusinessforms.com you will see - "Succeed by taking risks -Taking risks is difficult - whether for an individual or a company - because it involves uncertainty. Fear of the unknown ends to hold us back. But because risk is one of the main paths to success, intelligent, calculating risk taking is worthwhile. Here are a few tips to bear in mind:
Don’t focus only on the negative. Consider the possible benefits - you’ll never reach the top of the mountain if you’re always looking down.
Welcome fear. But don’t let it immobilize you. Use it to increase your alertness and further the chances that your risk taking will meet with success. Fear should act as a helpful warning, not a barrier.
Weigh up the odds. It doesn’t make sense to risk a lot for a small potential gain. Ask yourself the following:
“Exactly how much am I likely to gain? What are the realistic chances of success? What could I lose, either by going ahead or standing still?”
Get the facts. The more you know about a situation, the better you can evaluate the risks involved. Taking a risk does not mean making a blind leap - intelligent risk taking is based on thorough market analysis, planning and research.
Examine the worst case scenario. Often you’ll find that it’s not as bad as first thought. For example, if you’re hesitant about trying a potentially better way of doing your job, because you feel your job will be at risk if it backfires, sit down and reconsider. Talk it over with a trusted colleague, friend or employer. They may be able to give you a differing, more realistic perspective.
Bet on yourself. Risk in business should not be like going to the race track and betting on a horse. In most of the risks you take, your own hard work, initiative and sheer determination will naturally play a crucial role in the outcome."
The context of risk is just as important as the skills and pricipals of risk taking. When I apply risk to the application of automotive synthetic lubricants and related superior car care options, there is zero risk because the benefits are scientificly proven.
