Yet in all those cases I finally steeled myself to seize the opportunity, and find a way to muddle through and eventually conclude that I had, in fact, chosen the right path, as risky as it seemed at the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I haven't let anybody take me off my path or deter me in any way. It's about seeing an opportunity and taking it.
I've always been a risk taker; I've never believed in following the expected path.
There are so many opportunities that I could've gotten before if I had just took a little more of a risk.
Taking a risk is always frightening, but I gave myself a set period of time and had enough money to see me through. I operated from the belief that things would be okay, that if I wasn't successful I would find myself a job, but either way, I would be fine.
I eventually realized that good things wouldn't happen to me if I didn't make the right choices.
It's easy to walk away from risk, and you don't actually have to face it. Success is based upon overcoming the inherent risk you can't manage your way out of.
I was a guy who showed up for work and took the chance for finding out whether I could do it or not... I'd like to think I made my success not at the expense of anyone. Success was accidental.
My first plan of escape having failed, I now determined upon another.
As I began to take risks, leaving my very comfortable and secure job and taking this first leap into fashion, every subsequent risk became easier to take because I began to see the kind of opportunity and excitement that risk-taking offered.
I was not willing to give up because I was born to like taking risks and that is my way of life.
