THE REAL RISK ISN'T STARTING, IT'S STAYING

What is extremely risky is a 9-to-five
00:00:02
job. Humans have this perspective
00:00:07
that starting a business is risky. In
00:00:12
reality,
00:00:14
entrepreneurs do not take risk. They do
00:00:17
everything in their power to minimize
00:00:20
risk. And in many cases, when they
00:00:23
embark on a business, the risk
00:00:26
approaches zero. What is extremely risky
00:00:30
is a nine-to-five job
00:00:34
because we have one life,
00:00:36
right? And it goes away and you may not
00:00:38
get to do what's in your heart. You may
00:00:40
not get your music out, right? And so
00:00:43
getting our music out is really
00:00:45
important. So, so this notion which is
00:00:49
drilled into us that if you're an
00:00:52
entrepreneur, you're taking risk really
00:00:55
kind of does a big disservice to most
00:00:59
humans.
