February 1, 2010 - What is your idea of risk? When is the last time you took a risk? Was it yesterday, last week, a year ago, or you cannot remember? Are you afraid you will lose what you have worked hard to achieve? Are you concerned you simply do not have the energy or are too old to take risks like you used to? Or have you never considered yourself a risk-taker?

If you were once a risk taker, and now find yourself hesitant to take risks, then take an MM&I Moment to write down three things that you consider risky, but if achieved would be the ultimate reward. If you have never been a risk taker, but long for something better than where you are right now, take an MM&I Moment to ask yourself why? Then write down an opportunity that has presented itself that you consider to be a risk and one step you can take towards making it less risky. As a high achiever, risks are a natural means to getting where you ultimately strive to be. Step forward with confidence and you will be pleasantly surprised where it might lead.
