Success: A Question Of Risk

Are you a risk taker?

Taking a risk and making a choice can be hard. You fear failure and rejection. You fear the unpleasant consequences of taking that risk. You fear taking responsibility for your actions.

To borrow from Dr. James Messina, risk taking is opening yourself to change.

* To laugh is to risk appearing the fool;
* To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;
* To reach out for another is to risk involvement;
* To expose feelings is to risk exposing true self;
* To place your ideas, your dreams before the crowd is to risk their loss;
* To love is to risk not being loved in return;
* To live is to risk dying;
* To hope is to risk despair;
* To try is to risk failure;
* But risk must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing;
* The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing;
* He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love and live;
* Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave and has forfeited freedom;
* Only a person who risks is free.

By opening yourself to change and risking something in return, you are allowing yourself to be free…and allowing yourself to succeed. However, you will not succeed if you choose to stick by your conventional way of thinking. You are where you are because you have not taken the risk finding something better, making the best better.

Success is a question of taking the risk and facing the consequences of your choice. If you are not willing to risk then you will gain nothing. If you choose this path then life is bound for stagnation, mediocrity, and monotony. This is not for the leader and achiever that is YOU!

YOU are always aiming for more, to be the best, for coming out on top…for success!

YOU are a risk taker, one who looks at the possibility of failure as a challenge and a lesson from which you can learn the better way to achieve success. If you really want to bring your game, your business, and your life to next level you must not be afraid to risk.

But remember…taking risks without thinking can be a bad move. You have to weigh your options. Think like a chess champion. Make only calculated risks. It is foolish to just go into something without considering the outcomes of that decision. That’s why we plan!

So are you a risk taker? If you are then you have to take a look at the Business Athlete Success Coaching by Coach Tim Adams! This may just be the decision that could change your life!

Remember, Success is not by chance…It’s by choice!

Are You a Business Athlete?

Here are some questions to consider to help you determine if you are a Business Athlete?

Are you a high achiever who is driven to take your game to the next level.  Do you have success in one or more areas of their lives and business and yet they want more?

Do you love to win?

I’m not talking about a little grade school game with no consequences…I’m talking about something bigger, better, and much more meaningful.  Like a championship game where you put everything on the line – with the intention of being the best…but it’s more than that as well!

I’m talking about winning in life…Your life.

Read the following and see if any of this sounds familiar?

You may have experienced great success in your work life but your family life is suffering because you’re never home.  You may have a great relationship with your wife but you can’t make this month’s rent payment because you spend money haphazardly. You might be very spiritual but your head is so far in the clouds you can’t relate to others because you spend most your day meditating. You might look like Atlas but you can’t keep a relationship because all your free time is spent working out.

Being a Business Athlete is so much than having success.  Here’s the simple truth…Being really good in only one area of your life does not equal success. There is more to life than continuing to excel at the one or two things you already do well.  What you need to do is take the success you already know – and expand it.  And to experience a true expansion of success in your life and business you need to know exactly where to focus your time, energy, and effort.

Are you committed to improving your game…Your LIFE?  Are you willing to do what’s necessary to get the job done?  Are you willing to approach your failures as learning experiences?  Are you coachable and willing to learn from other as well as your challenges?  When everything seems stacked against you are you going to dig in your heals and find a way around, over or even through that obstacle?

If this sounds like you then you are a Business Athelte…Congratulations.  And I know you are already creating success in your life!  And I know you want more.

With laser focused coaching you can take your game to then next level in record time!

Remember…Success is not by chance, It’s by Choice!
