I remember the first video I ever recorded YIKES! Or the first time I posted a WSO and thought I was going to be eaten alive by this forum. How in the world would I ever deal with someone making a small rant about my WSO if it wasn't perfect .

At the time that was a big deal to me. That was a risk I had to be willing to take.

Looking back its funny but at the time that was a risk I had to take. Naturally I am a shy person who doesn't like the spotlight. But I also knew that in order to be successful in what I do I needed to put myself out there more.

Here's something I've learned along the way. No one cares as much as you!

Why? Because people are mostly invested in themselves. They are not analyzing you...like you are. They always say you are your biggest critic. Its true.

In any business it takes risk to get reward. For some of you who are already successful you probably don't even realize that anymore. Those bold moves you took in the beginning are now just par for the course. But in order to continue to grow there will be risks you have to take.

For those of you who are just getting started you need to be willing to take risks. It will be an uneasy feeling but it will the first step in the right direction. Best of luck to you!

    Great advice. Taking a risk can be scary but it can also pay off. Prepare yourself as much as you can. Study and learn about that niche, business, topic, etc. before jumping in.

    I believe it is important to take calculated risks. They say high risk high returns. The greater the risk the greater the returns. I think if you keep your eyes on the reward, the risk becomes easier to take. But i think we take risks everyday, its just that we are not aware of it. Like when you drive, you risk being involved in an accident, when you cross the road you risk being bumped by a car. When you eat you risk being choked. i think if we just develop the attitude that there are no guarantees in life even when it comes to business then maybe risk taking would not be too difficult and also realising that even those who have succeeded in life took risks without guarantees can create a positive attitude towards risk taking.

    Good post, OP

    You're spot on.

    People have to get off the fence if they are SERIOUS about becoming successful.

    Just do it and keep finetuning your efforts until you get something that succeeds.

    The key is to stick to it AND continuously make adjustments.

    If after some time, it still isn't working out, know when to throw in the towel, take stock of your lessons, and try something else.

    JUST DO IT!
