It´s not so easy to take "risks" as it might look. Of course, if you cross a street without checking around, you can get some easy and fast risk.But in business and investments we look for another kind of risk. Risk = opportunity and it´s not easy to find for most people. In my opinion, you should think more like an enterprenuer, and not like a hedge fund manager (yes i´m a trader and cool comparison after all) because this kind of people have tons of money (and opportunits, and risk!) already avaliable, but we, mortals, need to start from nothing and that´s the risk you need to learn how to BUILD before jump from your current job.
