Take Calculated Risks

The level of risk you’ll experience in a given situation is unique to you. Ask yourself the following questions to help you calculate your risk level:

• What are the potential costs?
• What are the potential benefits?
• How will this help me achieve my goal?
• What are the alternatives?
• How good would it be if the best-case scenario came true?
• What is the worst thing that could happen and how could I reduce the risk it will occur?
• How bad would it be if the worst-case scenario did come true?
• How much will this decision matter in five years?

Success won’t find you. You have to pursue it. Stepping into the unknown to take carefully calculated risks can help you reach the next level of success.
