    I know if I take a risk I could make living from internet marketing....
    But I dont have guts to do it, so I stay on my "safe 9 to 5 job" and keep internet marketing as a hobby....but maybe in one day ;)

    The best business's are all ones that have taken risks

    you have to take some risks to proceed and in general the bigger risks make better rewards

    If you do not take risks you're never going to see the big rewards. You just need to take calculated risks. In fact in my opinion if you do not take any risks over time you're not going to have a business at all when competitors are taking risks and as a result gaining market share and things of that nature.

    I typically don't want to take risk in business, maybe that's why I am not earning big.

    I often take risks with people, but I don't think I do with business... I know it's going to work.

    If your overheads are low, you can afford to take more risks

    My overheads are high, and I always take risks. It's all about mindset I think. Go for it!

    No you don't always have to take lots of risk. It depends on what you're doing, the industry etc. If you are smart/creative, you can find many ways to save money when doing a venture. However, 99% of the time, it will take a lot of effort for any business to succeed.

    I am taking a big risk with Widget Bucks and I am 50/50 now with WB, they're slowly disapointing me, but I'm not pulling the pin yet either.

    I was and I still am getting over $20CPM with WB - however it's decreasing with each update .... you can have a look at my figures here.

    I should ad' though I work for PPL here at DP and most my money spent advertising is made from this work.

    What's a online business without risks ?

    My project is almost finished, if it will be success I will invest half of made money to the new to go to a higher level, my opinion became, that it is the most terrible idea not to try what you think can go success, but first you have to make a good investigation, after that if you still are sure DO IT !

    Risk is part of what makes a venture fun, it keeps you alive. Know your research, but be willing to chuck it if you know in your gut you're right. Worked for Steve Jobs ;)
