What do you prefer? taking risk in business or play a safe business? safety never give you an unexpected level of anything and risk can put you down to the lowest level...both have pros & cons...which one you like most?
Life itself is a gamble, no risk means no gain. What holds people back is fear of failure and an aversion to stress. I say damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! I have *often* risked everything and will no doubt do so again. I take my directives from no one, and will do whatever the hell I think is best. It's worked out pretty well so far.
I think it should always be a mix of both. Certain things in business I'm will to risk more then others.
