One of two popular methods for approaching what we want typically takes hold. The first is to make an immediate decision without considering potential consequences. And the second method is to allow fear to hold one back. It’s a rare outcome for either scenario to produce our desired results.
Taking a calculated risk is well-worth considering when trying something new. The word ‘calculated’ refers to the odds that the new idea can work, but not with 100% certainty. Although this type of risk may have the odds in our favor, there is one more differentiator to add to the process. It is essential to commit to doing everything in your power to make the idea work. Focus and 100% commitment to continue trying to see the idea through to the end differentiates us and gives us the path to success.
Scams are rampant, and we must protect our resources to move steadily forward without harm or regret. Every strategic decision requires that we do so before moving forward. After receiving a suggestion, an offer to partner, or the possibility of purchasing a service, more than ever, weigh the pros and cons for moving forward.
Make it your top priority to examine the strategy pros and cons for major decisions in moving a business forward. Moreover, all associated aspects are necessary for consideration. Potentially research the dilemma too, and only afterward can we arrive at an educated answer. Remember, your life is about you and those close to you; keep this in mind to live your extraordinary life without regret.
Most of us experience hearing the infamous words, ‘that will never work, and you will lose what you have.’ But what if we listen to the naysayers and don’t do it? What will we lose? Finally, my one question before every essential decision is,
‘What is the worst that can happen?’
Those who allow fear to enter their landscape can quickly answer what the worst may be over time. However, by asking for the worst, we need also to ask,
‘What is the best potential outcome?’
We each have different reasons for being in business. When we ask ourselves the above questions, a signal arrives for whether or not to proceed – that of a smile!
The signs for moving forward with a calculated risk:
- A big smile
- Confirmation of the ultimate vision
- Excitement
- The budget can handle the expense
- The desire to move forward now!
Finally, when we find the thought lingering, we know it’s time to see our idea through to completion!

How Will You Move Forward?
It’s highly unusual for someone never to make what they consider a severe error or regret not following through on a matter. The past makes it more compelling to think through the benefits for the future.
Take the necessary time to review what is holding you back. List the reasons for missing out on a previous opportunity. Then consider whether the concerns were valid or made out of fear.
One other tactic is to have a friendly negotiation first with yourself. Once you figure out how to change your history for the better, then it’s time to discuss the varying pros and cons with others to move forward in this instance. Another warning to heed is not to offend partners. At the same time, attempting to please our networks never leads to the success we desire. We are to pay attention to the balancing act of remaining respectful and review varying thoughts at all times.
Caution: The one limiting factor in the discussion scenario is not to allow ego to take over to prove your voice is more vital and your actions more critical. \
Another pause for reflection is considering how you habitually attempt to accept your ideas. Forcibly selling your ideas never turns out well. The better route is to influence a decision in your favor. When it’s your turn, you can accomplish getting the decision in your favor by asking other people, such as prospective clients and partners, the outcome they want to experience.
By gaining their insights and reasoning for their responses upfront, you can weigh the pending strategy pros and cons more objectively. Reflection and self-evaluation are the preliminary steps for achieving how you see your future!
