If you know what you want, then go ahead and do something about it. Don’t just talk about your future, do something about your future.

According to Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, ‘If you’ve determined your goal, … use risk-taking to help you discover and validate your goals and to open up new and unforeseen pathways toward achieving them.’

‘Real growth isn’t linear, but cyclical.’

‘Taking small risks early and often helps you to build risk-taking muscles, with compounding benefits.’

‘Rather than focusing solely on the potential for loss, we can reframe risk as decisions we make that afford us considerable upside potential.’

‘You don’t need perfect goals or clarity to start taking risks.’

‘A great plan is simple, efficient, and capable of evolving as we go. Whiteboard your way to the future.’

‘Embracing our inner risk manager helps us face our fears instead of avoiding them.’

‘Smarter risk-taking requires that we look inward as well, aligning our choices not just with our ambitions but also with who we are at our core.’

‘To achieve a larger success later, focus on delivering shorter-term outcomes and impact.’

‘By delivering impact through each larger chapter of ambition, iterating and taking smaller risks continually to create results faster, we’ll build successful overall careers.’

‘When we choose possibility consistently, we don’t need others to make us powerful. We generate power for ourselves.’
