Dare To Differ

The Future Belongs To The Risks Takers.

"When I say risk, I don't mean:

  • Life-threatened risk
  • Foolish risk
  • Unrealistic risk?

First, weigh your options. If the loss outweighs the gain, please retreat".


Let's start.

These are my two indicators that you need to take that risk:

  • You're moving in a circle and you feel stuck. You desire something different from your current reality.
  • You want to triple down on your current results. A green indicator you need to take some daring actions.

Short story: Lately, I've had the feeling that I have outgrown the particular phase I am in my career and business. I was no longer comfortable and hence the urge to step into the next level which definitely will open me up to better associations and welcome new business opportunities.?


I knew I needed to do something big to get out of the spot and launch me into where I wanted to be. And so, the journey began.

(Still in the process, but so far, every step brings a different clarity and makes the journey less difficult. I'll be sharing later.)


A friend of mine would always ask me this question whenever I was doing something out of my comfort zone, and I was taken by fear and uncertain of what the outcome would be. He would say:


"Lina, what's the worst that can happen?"


Thinking about your worst-case scenario and finding a way to face it off has a way of belittling your fears and uncertainty and boosting your confidence on the other hand.


Back to you

It can be very cozy and rejuvenating in our comfort zone, but trust me when I say you can't find a certain level of result or growth there.


If it's comfortable, anyone can get it. The level of success you want to experience is hidden in the pain, discomfort, and brave act shown in doing something out of the norm.


Legends don't settle for less than they deserve, the reason they make daring decisions and take audacious actions that catapult their business, career, or life to the next level which sets them apart from the rest.


That big vision you've got comes with a price. Are you ready to take that chance, and go against all odds to get there??

Someone once told me that your next level might just be tied to that risk you ain't taking.


And this is me to you today saying: Risk it Anyways. What's the worst that can happen? You fail.?


Guess what, Failure is a part of Success.
