Hi beauty bestie!

Here is my advice on taking risks, but in an intentional way...

Advance Skills

Taking intentional business risks can be an effective way to ADVANCE your skills and career. By stepping out of your comfort zone and taking on new challenges, you can develop new abilities and gain valuable experience. It can also demonstrate to employees that you are willing to take initiative and are not afraid to try new things. However, it's important to carefully assess the risks and potential outcomes before taking action. By doing so, you can make informed decisions and increase your chances of success. I am a person that is constantly upgrading and advancing my skills, I love it, it’s one of my addictions. (not too bad to be addicted to) Taking intentional business risks can be a valuable tool for personal and professional growth.

Gain Experience

Taking business risks is essential to gain experience because it allows individuals to learn and grow in their professional and personal lives. This helps in developing problem-solving skills, creativity, and innovation. I have found that today everyone is looking for experienced individuals, this is why by taking risks in business you can prove you have been willing to try new things to gain experience. Also, taking risks can lead to new opportunities and increased confidence. It is important to note that calculated risks should be taken, with careful consideration of potential outcomes and a plan in place to mitigate any negative consequences. Ultimately, taking business risks can lead to valuable experience and growth in both professional and personal aspects of life.

5 Ways to Start Taking More Risks:

1. 1. Identify your fears: Take some time to think about what is holding you back from taking risks. Once you have identified your fears, you can work on overcoming them one by one.
2. 2. Start small: Taking small risks can help build your confidence and prepare you for bigger risks. Start with something small, like trying a new hobby or reaching out to someone you admire.
3. 3. Embrace failure: Failure is a natural part of taking risks. Instead of being afraid of it, embrace it as a learning opportunity. Analyze what went wrong and use that knowledge to improve for next time.
4. 4. Surround yourself with risk-takers: Surrounding yourself with people who take risks can be inspiring and motivating. They can also offer guidance and support as you navigate your own risk-taking journey.
5. 5. Take action: Ultimately, the only way to take more risks is to start taking action. Don't wait for the perfect opportunity or for everything to be "just right." Start taking small steps toward your goals and build momentum from there.

Adapt to New

Taking intentional business risks is important for adapting to new things because it allows for growth and innovation. By taking risks, businesses are able to explore new opportunities and expand their reach. Without taking risks, businesses may become stagnant and fall behind competitors who are willing to try new things. In addition, taking risks can lead to valuable lessons and insights that can be applied to future decision making. Overall, intentional business risks are necessary for adapting to a changing market and staying relevant in today's fast-paced business environment.

Grow Into Better Versions

Taking intentional risks is pivotal for business growth because it allows you to grow into BETTER VERSIONS. By taking calculated risks, you can learn from your mistakes and make informed decisions that lead to success. By embracing risk-taking, you can push yourself and your business to new heights, unlocking your full potential and paving the way for future success. 

I’m sure you will grow into better versions of yourself and your business will be the best version it can be.

Change is Good

Taking intentional risks is essential to change and evolve your business for several reasons. Firstly, it helps you to stay competitive in a constantly changing market. By taking risks, you can differentiate your business from others and offer unique products or services that meet the evolving needs of your customers. Moreover, taking risks can lead to innovation and increased creativity, which can help you find new solutions to old problems and potentially even create entirely new markets. Lastly, taking risks can help you to build resilience and adaptability as a business, which is necessary in the face of unexpected challenges or disruptions. Taking intentional risks is crucial to the long-term success and growth of your business. I always say change is hard but it’s good.

Sense of Accomplishment

Taking risks is essential in business because it allows space for new opportunities and greater rewards. By stepping outside of one's comfort zone and trying new strategies, a sense of accomplishment can be achieved when those risks lead to success. However, it is important to balance risk-taking with careful planning and analysis to minimize potential negative consequences. You will feel so accomplished when you reach a new business goal. 

It is important to celebrate those successes, no matter how small, or you will become discouraged.

Learn from Past

Taking intentional risks to learn from the past is vital for personal and professional growth. Reflecting on past experiences, both successes and failures, can also provide insights and lessons that can inform our future actions and help us avoid making the same mistakes again in business. Ultimately, intentionally taking risks allows us to learn from the past and reach our full potential. At the start of your business you will make decisions that cost you time, money, and energy. It’s okay, everyone does. What is important is that you learn from those mistakes; take the time to implement a new policy, calculate the ROI, and hire the right person, etc.

Increase Confidence

Taking intentional risks can increase business confidence because it allows for innovation and growth. When a company takes calculated risks, they are more likely to discover new opportunities and strategies that can lead to success. Furthermore, taking risks can demonstrate a willingness to adapt and evolve, which can build trust and credibility with customers and investors. However, it is important to note that not all risks are worth taking, and companies should carefully weigh the potential benefits and drawbacks before making a decision. When you walk into a room full of opportunities you want to be confident in your business, the only way to be confident is to be progressive and practice. If you are not feeling confident, at least fake it until you make it.

Builds Resilience

Taking intentional risks is important to build resilience in business because it allows for adaptability. When businesses are willing to take risks, they are more likely to identify new opportunities and seize them before competitors. This can lead to increased profitability and long-term success. Also, taking intentional risks helps businesses develop resilience by challenging them to learn from failures and setbacks. Learning to be RESILIENT in the face of adversity has been one of the largest challenges of my life but also the key element that distinguishes me from the rest. I never give up, even when the odds are completely against me. By embracing risk and learning from mistakes, businesses can become more agile and better equipped to navigate through uncertainty and change. Taking intentional risks is a crucial component of building a strong and sustainable business packed with resilience.

No Regrets

Taking intentional risks in business is important because you should have no regrets. Not having regrets is important because it allows us to run our business to the fullest without constantly dwelling on the past. Regrets can hold us back and prevent us from taking risks or trying new things. By letting go of regret, we can focus on the present moment and make the most of every opportunity. Moreover, not having regrets can lead to greater happiness and peace of mind, as we are not constantly burdened by negative thoughts and emotions. Instead, we can look back on our past experiences with acceptance and use them as valuable lessons for our future. I would never want to look back at life in 30 years and regret the risks I didn’t take. Taking intentional risks can help entrepreneurs avoid regrets by knowing that they did everything they could to achieve their goals and make their businesses successful.

Opens Up New Opportunities

Taking risks in business can lead to new opportunities. By trying new things, you may discover untapped markets or innovative solutions that can set you apart from your competitors. While there is always a chance of failure, you may also be met with a bunch of opportunities. There are several ways to get new business opportunities. One way is to network and build relationships with potential clients or partners. Another way is to actively promote your business through social media, advertising, or attending industry events. Seeking out referrals from satisfied customers can also lead to new opportunities. Additionally, keeping up with industry trends and staying innovative can attract new business. Finally, offering excellent customer service and consistently delivering quality work can lead to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals. Though all of these techniques may not be easy if you implement small changes over time the world will always open you up to ne opportunities. 

I know if I hadn’t been in certain rooms, done scary things, or met certain people I wouldn’t be where I am today, keep pushing!

Plan for Future

Taking business risks can help you plan for the future because it allows you to anticipate potential challenges and opportunities. By taking calculated risks, you can gain valuable experience and insights that can inform your decision-making process. Also, taking risks can help you stay competitive in your industry and adapt to changing market conditions. It also fosters innovation and creativity, which are essential for long-term success. However, it is important to remember that risk-taking should always be balanced with careful PLANNING and consideration of potential consequences. 

Plan for the future so you don’t have to dream, you live it out each day.

Learn About Yourself

Taking business risks can help you learn about yourself in a variety of ways. First, it can reveal your strengths and weaknesses as a decision-maker. When you take a risk, you must weigh potential outcomes and make a choice. This process can highlight your ability to analyze information, your comfort level with uncertainty, and your willingness to take action. In addition, taking risks can push you out of your comfort zone and force you to confront fears or doubts you may have about your abilities. This can lead to personal growth and a better understanding of your limits and potential. Finally, experiencing success or failure as a result of taking a risk can help you develop resilience and adaptability, important traits for any entrepreneur or business leader. 

The more I risk the more I learn about myself.

Break Out of Your Comfort Zone

Taking business risks can help you break out of your comfort zone because it forces you to confront uncertainty and overcome fear of failure. When you step outside of what you know and take on new challenges, you are able to learn and grow in ways that you may not have thought possible. By taking calculated risks, you have the opportunity to innovate, create new opportunities, and achieve greater success. Furthermore, taking risks can help you develop resilience and adaptability, which are important traits for success in both business and life. Breaking out of your comfort zone can be scary, I’ve experienced it first hand and it is hard to do but so important for your development.

Higher Goals

Taking business risks can help you reach higher goals you never thought possible. When you take risks, you open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences that you may not have encountered otherwise. This can lead to greater success and achievement, as well as personal growth and development. By embracing risk, you can challenge yourself to think more creatively, which can ultimately help you to achieve your goals and reach new heights in your career or business. As you reach one goal, new goals are unlocked and available to you. Without the first goal reached you would not have SEEN the next. The place I am now in business, I would’ve never thought possible a year ago or even 6 months ago.

Each day I do something new in business and it’s scary, and it’s hard, but it’s so worth it!
