Today I've been thinking about all the hair brained ideas I've had.
I'm sure you've had lots yourself and many of them were nuts but there were always a few that you thought that would be absolutely brilliant.
I've had many of those and many of them haven't gone anywhere. They swirl in my head like a snow globe.
The reason why they haven't gone anywhere is that I haven't been willing to risk myself. To what degree varies - from not sharing the idea at all through to not taking the actions I know to take. Hidden inside that is the biggest risk of all and that's becoming a permanent snow globe.
What I'm learning to do is to share my ideas, to speak out and express how I think things should or could be. To take that first step. To not do that is to risk stagnating and ending up as a "I could have, or that could have been me".
As I went through this thought process today, I became clearer on how I might set myself up to take risks. What is the safety net I could put in place to take bigger and bigger risks?
Well - my answer to that was to create a financial foundation that supports my life necessities. You know, Audi RS4, big car garage and a lifestyle family home complete with brilliant views.
From there I've got a foundation that enables to risk big on my ventures without falling back to a destitute entrepreneur.
I'm going to poke a hole in my snow globe and watch the storm ensue...
