Successful entrepreneurs think of risks like a scientists comes to a hypothesis. A hypothesis isn't just a guess, it's an educated guess and that's a big difference.

Let's stop and look at one big, maybe scary aspect of risk--one that's behind why a lot of people tense up at the word. When declaring "I want to take this risk," one has to stop and be real about a responsibility to people other than oneseld. This doesn't mean not taking the proposed risk--it just means thinking through "here's how we all could benefit if I/we do this...and here's some possible outcomes if it doesn't work." Good risk: if you succeed, there's a gain for you and for other people. If you fail, you learn lessons, deal with the pain, AND do what you can to make it right with others involved. Bad risk: if you fail, others are left holding the bag. Good question; I got a lot of value out of the answers.

Let’s stop and look at one big, maybe scary aspect of risk–one that’s behind why a lot of people tense up at the word.

Trying new ideas in any business can be scary and somewhat intimidating, but it's also the best way to pave the way for new, exciting opportunities. Kudos on your post, Chris!
