Risk is when a person is exposing him/her self to dangers, possibility of incurring loss or misfortune
So many people run away from business opportunities just because they fear they will run into loose and didn't want to take such risk
I have come to the realization that the word risk is part of life and that it is better you take part in it than not
From history it has been said that the great entrepreneur and business men/woman where all risk takers when you take risk you throw your self to the real of possibilities
risk is part of a process, but one thing is certain, taking risks without proper preparation is just gambling, so don't take risks carelessly, you have to be careful too.
I also read a lot about great entrepreneurs who are currently successful, they are risk takers who are not afraid, for example Elon Musk, when he bought Twitter, he borrowed a large amount of money from the bank, that is a small example of taking risks.
As long as you have good calculations, supporting skills and full confidence then don't hesitate to take risks,
