If you look at the one obstacle that is holding you back from advancing your career – you’ll likely be staring in the face of a risk – waiting for you to take. Why is it so difficult to take that one risk that pulls us past the chasms and out of the ruts? When asked what one thing they regretted most in their lives, a group of senior citizens listed, above any other: “I regret the fact that I did not take more risks.” How about you? 
Here are 5 tips that could help you take the risk that lands you at a new competitive edge:
1. Look at opposing view and see several alternatives
2. Plan the long range vision well if money is involved so that you plan to repay it, for example
3. Ask yourself if you feel at least 60 percent sure it will work out and if so … go for it
5. Share your idea with a mentor you respect and hold any dreams you have back from negative people. Respected mentors tend to affirm green lights that others miss … while skeptics squash dreams before they launch.
What risk you do have in mind for today, that could create a better tomorrow for you and others around you?
