I will admit that I when I first started, I was clueless to the whole blogging thing. I mean before my blog, the only time I wrote consistantly was either for lab reports or research papers. It takes some effort (more than I anticipated) to be able to write interesting and informative articles for you guys. Which brings me to the topic of RISK.
I happened to check out a post today on a blog a frequent. In this blog he talks about risk, how it helped him out, and not to fear it. I just want to piggie-back off of a few things he said about risk.
Risk is important in the business world, but managing that risk is more important. Everyday people are faced with different sets of risk, yet how they manage them is what seperates the successful from the average joe. I will use myself and my blog as an example. This blog represents a risk (although small its still a risk) for me. I am taking a risk by letting the world observe as I post excerpts of my life online.
There is a large chance that it will not be successful and will fade into obscurity like so many do. Yet realizing this from the start greatly helps in diminishing that outcome. By pointing out what area’s others have failed in and preparing myself for those outcomes I can reduce the amount of risk I deal with.
Risk literally makes and breaks individuals daily. There are those of panic and flee when in the presence of risk and those who manage it to work for them. So next time a “Risky” situation confronts you, do not panic. Stay calm and prepare for the problems that MAY occur. Decide what actually is that makes the situation risky and do you best to plan ahead.
Accountable risk is the best kind to work with yet so many don’t take the time to calculate it accurately. Good drop!
