'Mindful persistence means knowing when to be persistent and knowing when to ditch an idea completely.' have a lovely day. ayo hi steven,

If you don't take risks where will you be? Well maybe no where. If you really want to succeed you need to go out on a limb sometimes, get out of the comfort zone and thats when you will achieve. To your success! You have a great start. Now I just have to find X, Y, Z :) Best time to take a risk is now and it is great that you are doing it. If you don’t take risks where will you be?

Even more so than taking risks, I think it's about staying away from the comfort zone. Right now I'll be honest I'm not risking much with my own ventures, though I don't think I need to take a while lot of risk yet. I have backup plans and a full time job I'm holding onto until I'm sure I'm ready to quit. But I'm nowhere near my comfort zone, it's off in the distance and getting smaller.

That is definitely the thing.Its interesting to observe young fresh graduates coming into my place of work and watching those who can 'step out' as it were - those are the ones who FLY to the top whereas the others take it easy, keep there heads down and drift along. Enjoyed this post very much. @Sam Ben David - I like the idea of replacing the word 'risk'. The word risk does instantly put you on the back foot.

Taking the risk is always a powerful thing to do......but the worst thing you see people do is call it...a risk!! By doing that you attach so much negativity and bad emotions to it. Instead it be great if people took out the word risk and replaced it with....."Taking a leap to achieve amazing success". The words we use connect so much meaning to it. Great article mate, will be signing up to your blog in a minute! Sam Nice article dude!
