Risk Training

Like an athlete who trains for game day, you need to train yourself to take a risk. You'll need practice, the right support, and a dose of courage.

We're not trained to take risk, but we are trained to hold meetings, stop talking when we're told to, and stay the course. We're told to look for security and to silence our creativity if it speaks too loudly. Initiative hides from cultures and companies that ask us to fit in.

Starting thrives on our ability to play, to humor ourselves, to look at things in a unique way. It's not easy, but that's why it's worth the trouble.
