Just saw something that my boss posted on LinkedIn and it got me thinking. What is the best advice that you have ever received from a parent/friend/mentor?
Do you always follow that advice?
For me, it's something my dad told me long ago: "Never take a risk you can't afford to lose".
When thinking about the repercussions of your actions, regardless of what they are, are you willing to deal with the consequences if things go sideways or in a way that you didn't anticipate? If so, go for it. If not, you may want to re-think your choice...
While I haven't always followed that advice, I at least think about that quote in my decision making. Personal or professional situations, it doesn't matter. It applies to both.
