That’s why I mentioned asymmetrical bet. Totally hear you and you’re right to an extent because I agree, not everyone can afford to take big risks. But choosing the right playground makes a huge difference and what kind of ideas you choose to pursue. For example, if someone wants to get into real estate or start a physical store with inventory, the risk is huge, lakhs upfront, middlemen, regulations, connections. That’s a tough game to play without serious resources. In contrast, what I meant by “asymmetrical bets” applies more to digital-first fields(immediate example). If you're a developer or someone with technical skills, the cost of experimenting is often just your time, effort, and learning curve. You can build a SaaS, a tool, a micro-product, or even test a niche idea, after hours, while keeping your day job. Worst case? You gain new skills, build your reputation, maybe even some distribution. Best case? Something clicks : users, revenue, or even investor interest or a startup founder could come across your app and see value in acquiring it. So yes, not every kind of bet is low-risk. But choosing the right playground makes a huge difference. Asymmetrical bets are all about keeping the downside small while leaving room for unexpected upside.
