What Are You Willing To Risk? by:Lynne Saarte

Not all successful people grew up with silver spoons in their mouths

. Most of them worked hard to get to where they are right now. What makes these very successful people different from your average Joes are their vision and determination. These are two important and indispensable traits of highly successful people.

Early on, these people decide that they want to be more than what they were at that time. This determination made them look for ways to get out of their quagmire. They looked for people who could give their careers or businesses a boost. They surrounded themselves with people who knew things that they did not know. They dined with them; they played with them; they sent them greeting cards to build on their relationship.

These partners were willing to take a risk with them, and together they ventured and succeeded in developing new businesses. Yes, there were failures; but the obstacles proved that their resilience was unmatched. This willingness to take a risk has helped these people achieve an astounding degree of success.

In today's receding economy, there are millions of people looking for "something else" in their lives. For those whose employers have let them go, it is re-inventing themselves. For others who are still employed, it is being able to keep up with the ever growing demands of the job, while making ends meet at home.

During these troubled times, it is risky to do something different. But if you want to achieve something remarkable, one has to make some calculated risk. As the saying goes in the stock market, the best time to buy is when there is no one buying. Calculated risks are risks that have been studied, looked at from all different angles, and then acted upon swiftly once the information is in.

With a good assessment of things and a thorough analysis of the risks, you can come up with better judgment. These times offer opportunities, few people realize that. As the Chinese would say, a disaster is also an opportunity for development. The present situation is indeed disastrous if viewed from a pessimist's point of view; but if viewed from a good vantage point, they are opportunities for growth.

Now that you know that there is indeed an opportunity in these trying times, why do not you go ahead and think about the risks you are willing to take. Then go and seek out people whom you think can help you. What are you waiting for? Place an online order for a box of custom greeting cards. Who knows? Bill Gates might be interested in your proposal.
