The importance of risk in gaining wealth

It seems to us that in a year we will do more than we can, but we don’t think how much we can do in 10 years. For really strong changes in life, you need to change at different levels: psychological, physical, social, intellectual, financial. At first, growth would not seem to be visible. But then there will be a rapid leap, like detonation.

It’s like growing bamboo. Bamboo seed remains in the ground for 4 years. At this time, it is watered every day. After 4 years, the sprouts appear and in just 90 days grow up to 20 meters. All the time, the gardener does not know whether the result will be alive or not seeds.

So when changing yourself as a person, gaining wealth requires daily lessons, fulfilling plans, system actions, visualizing dreams, in short, all that we are taught at business seminars and that, it seems, does not produce results for a long time.

All this period it is very important to keep to the chosen path, not allowing anyone to convince themselves to return to their previous lives.

A miracle will not happen if you do not take risks. A large fortune cannot be created without risk. Bullfighters know that there is no great merit in going out against a bull when it’s not scary, or not going out when it’s scary. But if you are afraid and you go, it already means something.

The same truth, but in other words was expressed by one wise wealthy man: "I realized that everything that really stood in life before me scared to death."

If the next step is not at all terrible for you, then this means that it means little to you and will bring little benefit.

In your opinion, what matters are considered vital and truly worthwhile? When you do what you are used to, but everyone admires, or when you struggle with all your might, and no one notices this? What will be really great?

You can evaluate how prepared you are for risk by reading the following sayings.

1. A familiar path can be no less risky than a new and unusual one.

2. A risk-free person never wins.

3. There are no 100 percent safe events on earth.

4. Everything needs to be done as quickly as possible, because for great success it is impossible to prepare never.

5. Only a person who does nothing does not make mistakes.

6. Unknown always scares.

7. Risk has a price, but it is less than the price of inaction.

8. Being afraid to lose, do not expect to win.

9. Take risks.

10. From the bottom there is no where to fall further.

11. To change the world, you need to change yourself.

Any change is fraught with risk, as it forces one to get out of the familiar environment. You can develop only outside the comfort zone. Each solved problem should be replaced by another, which is even more difficult.

Capital acquired in 20 years can be acquired in 7 years, but you need to take a chance.
