these “risky” moves could skyrocket your success (but you’re afraid to try)
I recently had an exceptional conversation with Andy Neary, former pro baseball player turned entrepreneur, and he dropped a powerful message that bears repeating:
The biggest obstacle holding most entrepreneurs back? It's not lack of skill or resources.
It's the fear of the worst case scenario.
Andy shared a personal epiphany that transformed his entrepreneurial journey and changed his outlook on this very concern:
"When I made the decision to go out on my own, I asked myself: What if I try this and it just bombs? And I realized - if it bombs, I'll just go back and sell insurance."
And you may not be a reformed insurance salesman, but you likely have some ‘fall-back’ as well.
An old corporate job…
A business that was working but you navigated away…
So the worst case scenario is usually just a manifestation of your fears of failure.
That's when it hit me: We often avoid high-upside opportunities because we're terrified of failure.
But what I’ve found is - most "risky" moves in business aren't actually that risky at all.
In my recent podcast episode, Andy & I break this down as well as:
• The power of consistency, persistence, and patience in sports and business
• Why the last 5-10% of any project is often the hardest - and how to push through
• Why "just finishing" can be more valuable than achieving a specific goal
If you're serious about leveling up your entrepreneurial game, this is the ONE episode you need to catch.
Don't let fear hold you back any longer. Tune in, get inspired, and elevate your business.
