Growth vs. Comfort. Think Like An Investor

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.

A word to the wise: this is a good article, but probably would be better placed in the Leofinance community.

I agree with you, thanks for taking the time to read my article and leaving this comment which I find really helpful.
The thing is: everytime I try to post someone comes up with a rule that makes me a plagiarist for posting an article before on another place even though it's mine and no one else owns it's copyrights. That's why I post into Freewriters where as the name suggests no one bothers me as long as it's something I didn't copy from somewhere. But, I'll try to post into LeoFinance and I hope it would work out well for me 😂
Thanks again

Ah ... Hive and its original content rule ... that is a challenge ... if you copy even your own work from another place, it is a challenge ... and, alas, but I happen to know that the folks with the rules have alerted those who moderate Freewriters that their not bothering is being watched and will be acted upon.

But remember: think like an investor. The wisest course of action may be to develop original content for Hive, but remember, you don't have to start from scratch ... you can take some older ideas, reconsider them, update them, and have something fresh to present in Leofinance. Or, everyone in Freewriters is supposed to be responding to the prompt ... so, how can you take your ideas and work the prompt in every day and STAY HERE by writing your subject around the prompt? That's an idea, too.

That's not just an idea but a wonderful one, and I'll do my best to do as you suggested. Thanks for your suggestion it really means a lot to me

You're very welcome ... I wish you well.

I wish you the best too

Well, the comfort zone is always deadly especially for people who would rather be a big fish in a small pond. So, risks are uncomfortable but they are necessary

I like the way you recapped a whole article in one sentence. That's exactly what I wanted to say.
