Risk and opportunity

My parents gave me my first horse when I was 7 years old, that started a life long passion and I have been fortunate to pursue that passion for most of my life.

Last week after riding my “difficult” Paint – he has a bit of an attitude – for an hour, I decided to try riding him without a bridle to see how he would react.

As I got on him, he fooled around and backed into the electric fence around the pasture. 7000 volts through his rear end certainly woke him up, he took off like a rodeo bronc, with me trying to stop him with just a lead rope on his halter.

I did stop him after a while, but it was a wild ride.

Maybe I was stupid to take the risk, yes it could have been dangerous with potentially painful consequences, but I survived and enjoyed the experience.

How often in our businesses do we let a perceived risk stop us from taking action?

How many opportunities have been lost because we were afraid to pick up the phone, call on someone, try a new marketing tactic?
