Perhaps a better question is what is your appetite for LOSING? 💸😣


Because that's what risk really is...How much are you willing to LOSE if this doesn't work out?


Definition of risk: 'the possibility of loss or injury; peril; someone or something that creates or suggests a hazard; the chance of loss or the perils to the subject matter of an insurance contract, also, the degree of probability of such loss.'


⚡️Loss. Peril. Hazard. Loss again. ⚡️


Nothing about gaining anything here! Adrenaline maybe? 🧻


Murderous looks from your spouse?! 👀🕯⛏


When we want something so much, we can convince ourselves that our appetite for risk (LOSS) is greater than it is.


So when those lenders come knocking for a PG (personal guarantee) and ask what skin-in-the-game we have, are we really willing to put the family home – likely the biggest asset - on the line?


Would we be willing to (🚫 not risk it 🚫) LOSE it?


How do you keep it real when it comes to risk?
