from The No-Code Advantage Hosted by Dan Hafner - No-Code Software Expert
What comes to mind when you think about the word "risk?" Bad things, death, being broke, leaping off a mountain? Risk means something a little bit different to us all, but inside of a business & life sense it usually means doing something with both a potential upside and downside. You might end up better or worse because of an action or decision or thing you're doing. So how do you deal with all the thoughts and worries and anxiety around taking risks and get to a place where you can strategically and confidently take regular, calculated risks? Walk through the worst-case scenario in your mind and accept that outcome as the default.
