from Growth Notes · host Jason Frazier
Go to the Edge: Taking Calculated Risks to Build Something ExtraordinaryOn Growth Notes, Frazier argues that what separates people who build something extraordinary from those who stay in the status quo is a willingness to “go to the edge,” where outcomes are uncertain, uncomfortable, and risky. He explains that most people avoid risk not due to laziness or lack of talent, but because they focus on potential failure, embarrassment, and “what ifs,” causing them to retreat to safety and repeat what they’ve always done. In contrast, others look over the edge and see the possibility of flight, acting on the belief that something worthwhile exists on the other side. He cites successful loan officers as examples of people who repeatedly chose to move forward, emphasizing this is not recklessness but taking calculated risks with clear intent, since staying put carries its own real risk.Build Your Growth Engine Today!
