Talking About Risk v/s Actually Taking It: A Founder’s Reality Check It’s easy to romanticize risk. We love to glorify founders who bet it all, quit their jobs, and chase their dreams. But the reality? Taking a real risk is absolutely terrifying. I remember when I had my first well-paid, stable job. No stress, no uncertainty. Just a clear career path ahead. But deep down, I knew I wasn’t built for comfort—I was built for something bigger. Then came the hard part: actually taking the leap. - Leaving behind stability for the unknown. - Facing questions from family and friends: “Are you sure?” - Going from a predictable paycheck to figuring out how to survive every month. But here’s the thing: Not everyone should take this path. Take the risk if: - You can’t stop thinking about your idea, day and night. - You’re ready to embrace uncertainty, not just tolerate it. - You believe in learning through failures and setbacks. Would love to hear—what’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken?

Luck and Risk are two sides of the same coin. If you believe in one, respect the other. As entrepreneurs we lean towards taking risk because thats our inherent nature..luck might just come our way!
