Well, one of the most important things is just understanding your risk profile.

I have my students fill out a riskometer where they map out all the different types of risks that one could have.

Social risk, emotional risk, financial risk, physical risk, intellectual risks.

And then they map out what type of risks they feel comfortable taking, and then seeing where their risk profile might be holding them back, right?

If I'm a very low physical risk taker, but I really, really wanna go jump out of a perfectly good airplane with a parachute, I'm gonna have to stretch because otherwise I'm not gonna do it.

Maybe they do.

Or something that's like a helicopter.

Maybe it's a business deal.

Maybe it's a new friend.

Maybe it's something else.

I mean, I'm a deep believer that there's a prize in every room and it's up to you to find it.

And I think if you go through life with that mindset, that there is a prize, maybe it's a little prize,

Maybe it's just a smile on your face when you say hello to someone, but maybe it's a big prize because every decision you make has the possibility of changing your life.

I have so many friends who I met because they were standing in line next to me.

I mean, I can tell you a story.

I was standing in line on the way to go onto an airplane.

And I had a backpack that had a logo on it for a conference.

And there was a woman standing behind me and she saw the logo.

She said, oh, did you go to that conference?

I said, yes.
