I'm generally risk averse, and most great entrepreneurs I know are as well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Entrepreneurs are great at dealing with uncertainty and also very good at minimizing risk. That's the classic great entrepreneur.
One misconception is that entrepreneurs love risk. Actually, we all want things to go as we expect. What you need is a blind optimism and a tolerance for uncertainty.
I think that sometimes people are frightened to take the risk of entrepreneurship.
In the end, I think that people that are not willing to take the risk to fail are not true entrepreneurs.
I am thoroughly enjoying spending the majority of my time with entrepreneurs. I find that their enthusiasm, dedication, willingness to take huge risks and desire to make a dramatic impact quite inspiring.
Being an entrepreneur means the ability to think out of the box by putting away our fear of any risk, including financial.
Whatever the reasons, would-be entrepreneurs should be forewarned. Going into business for yourself isn't just risky because your business might fail. It's risky because you might have a harder time getting a job in the future, even if you succeed with your company.
The best entrepreneurs I've ever met are all good communicators. It's perhaps one of the very few unifying factors.
I'm strong and fearless and not afraid to take risks in business.
Entrepreneurs love to view risk as binary. The more you put on the line, the greater the potential for reward.
