Entrepreneurs Are Huge Risk takers

When I started my business 30 years ago, i was struck by how many people told me I must be a huge risk taker.  I really never considered myself to be the type of person who thought it would be a good idea  to walk on a high wire without a net below. As I talked with many other successful business owners over the years a trend began to emerge. I found that the ones who were still in business 10,20, or 30 years or more, were conservative with money, and never took unnecessary risks. The problem with our media and get rich quick culture, the people who make the news are the ones with billion dollar companies. I get it, these are fascinating stories.    But for everyone who makes into the riches with a 20,000 sq. ft. home there is a graveyard of one day wonders.
