RiskOn Ephraim Russell Gerstein

Do you feel stuck? As if you're not getting ahead despite all of your hard work and careful attention to all of the advice of your parents and teachers? It turns out although the rules you've been taught have stayed the same, the game has completely changed. Success today requires freeing yourself from the constraints of the play-it-safe strategy we were all told would lead us to the good life. It's not enough to graduate--you have to innovate. You can't just save--you have to invest. And you can't afford to live your life trying to avoid danger. You have to face the possibility of failure, face your fears head on, and annihilate the obstacles in the way of your success. You have to be Risk On. "Risk On" is a term that investors use to indicate that they are putting their money on offense--into higher risk positions in return for a bigger return. In a world of negative interest rates, where simply putting your money into a savings account or index fund means near certain loss, it is imperative. A risk on investor is not reckless, but he/she is making a careful analysis of the potential gains and losses, and channeling this understanding toward aggressive action with a bias toward a higher reward. The ability to take risks is a crucial skill for success in every area of life--certainly in business, but also in romance, relationships, physical and mental health, and overall well-being and fulfillment. RiskOn will teach you that skill by showing you the easy-to-understand, user-friendly steps you can start taking today to make a realistic assessment of the opportunities and challenges in your life, and to begin acting to make the most of them.
