More risk

We're all going to have to take some risks in life - and not everything works out. Ellie Holcomb risked failure and disappointment going solo in music, and she didn't enjoy the risky uncertainty. Some people are willing to dare greatly. If they win, they earn bigger rewards.

Entrepreneurs take on risk to start a business when they don't know for sure that they can find enough customers for their product, that they won't run out of money. But they take the leap and just try.  It's courage, it's optimism. Courage is a character quality.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk had that courage and optimism to the point that one of his friends thought he had gone crazy. He dared to risk all his fortune on two crazy-expensive goals, to start a new car company and start a rocket-building company. Just for fun, he started them about the same time.
