Risk Takers

James Mapes
Articles by James Mapes
If you don't ask and seek support for taking risks, you can't encourage people to step outside their comfort zone. Brilliant ideas remain trapped in the status quo. For break-through ideas, reward prudent risk-taking and be careful in punishing failure.

"Risk takers are… extremely cautious people. An extraordinary amount of intelligence goes into preparing for their activities.They have analyzed every factor that can operate against them."

~ Dr. Bruce Ogilvie, sports psychologist ~

In their very early years most people are taught to be cautious. All too frequently, the play-it-safe mentality becomes deeply ingrained into our behavior. When we are punished for doing a task wrong, instead of rewarded for doing it better, when we are cautioned against possible danger, rather than encouraged toward possible victory, we learn to expend our creative energies avoiding trouble and making excuses instead of searching for opportunities and creating solutions.

Risk-taking is a process you can learn. It is a strategy you can master. Learn how to take risks and you will create opportunities beyond your imagination.
