Fear can be crippling.
What is your risk threshold? Do you make a list of pros and cons when you have to make a big decision? Are you trying new things at work or resurrecting all the projects you’ve already done?
In many corporate roles, trying new processes, launching new products, and driving change of any kind can be intimidating. Often the effort is just not worth the risk. The game-changers in the organization are up against “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
In startup roles, however, doing the “same old thing” is deemed risky, and often downright frightening. In fact, the best founders ensure that they are trying new things, because the risky path is complacence.
Are you risk averse or are you always taking risks? Let us know about it in the comments below.

the ability to take a risk is such an integral part of starting up!
i think it really helps if both co-founders are different from each other and balance it out. that way you get the best of both worlds 🙂

I love to take risks and more often has been rewarded for taking those risks.
Great comic.

Nice comics. Gone through few of them. The content is really good.
“It is hard and risky nobody has done it , so this is all the more reason to go after it”. Now my team uses this strategy to eliminate the easy ones.
