Growth vs. Comfort. Think Like An Investor

Hi Steem Entrepreneurs, I think we're all now and forever in a position where we could either run into safety or take a huge jump into risk and change our lives forever.

I'm not sure what exactly do you do for a living or what fields you're interested in but what I'm sure of is; there's an easy decision and another difficult one.

Maybe you think this is a motivational article and that I came here to tell you how you should run towards your fears and take the risk, but that's not true.

Because, what if you have children for example and taking that risk might put your whole family into a bad financial position? What if you lost the safe option and the risky one didn't work for you as well?

Growing up it was obvious to me that almost everyone thinks with what we call "The black or white mentality" So we often think there are only two options and one is easy the other is difficult, but if we can put that into numbers we can see that the options are endless.

What suits you best? 70% risk + 30% safety?
25% risk + 75% safety?
90% safety + 10% risk?

You're the only to decide for yourself, but now you can see that there are endless options that you have as opposed to the only two you had before.

This is almost how investors think; I'm going to invest 70% of my capital into solid and stable businesses (safety) and 30% into startups and small businesses (risk), and based on the different position of each investor this percentage will change, but I'm sure you got the idea.

Life is much broader than having just 2 options in life, just when you decide who you are and what's your current position and where do you want to go; it becomes much easier for you to decide which path you'll choose.

I hope this article was helpful to you in anyway and I'm eager to get your feedback on it.

Hope you have a happy and successful life.
