I was just thinking about this because gambling is all about taking risks, where nothing is guaranteed and we don’t even know if we’ll win. so in a way, gamblers are natural risk-takers, and when someone starts a business, they also need that mindset which is taking calculated risks, making bold decisions, and having the guts to push through uncertainty.
So I’m curious, do we have any successful business owners here who could say that their experience as a gambler somehow helped them succeed in business?
The risks involved in gambling and business are different. In gambling, you can risk money that, even if you lose it, is an amount you can let go. In business, there are risks, but they are often very low and may not even materialize.
In a business that you understand very well, you may decide to invest some amount of money and make a profit from it, but in gambling, the outcome can never be predicted. This is why the risks of gambling are more comparable to those of business.
