He said, “Our whole entire educational system is built on right answers which produces a great fear of making mistakes and stifles creativity.”

So, the question of “are you at risk” is really a question of “Are you out taking risks?”

Many times we are afraid to take risks and sometimes our decisions are not really conscious all the time.

Sometimes it’s really a subconscious thing because we’re afraid of what the results might be.

Maybe we’re afraid of humiliation.

Maybe we’re afraid of looking silly or looking stupid or looking like an idiot or whatever the case may be.

So, sometimes we become afraid of taking risks, like in a business.

Some people are extremely comfortable with the planning phase, the preparation phase, the thinking-about-it phase or talking-about-it phase, and they never really just go out there and do it because they’re afraid of making the mistakes.

They’re afraid of the risks that they’re going to be facing, and are saying to themselves, "Oh my gosh, what if this doesn’t work? Look at all the different people that are going to see me. They’re going to look down on me. They’re going to think I’m stupid. They’re going to look at me as a failure."

In other words, there is some subconscious learning that has come from school.

It’s not that school is bad, but sometimes the way we learn things can have a very negative subconscious impact on us and it can have an underlining effect on our activities and our behaviors or can affect how we’re thinking and how we’re feeling.

So, the question is, could there be something you have subconsciously learned that is holding you back from taking the proactive type of risks that you need to take to succeed in your business or other areas of your life?

I have three questions I want to ask you:

• What’s the reward for taking a risk?
• What’s the punishment for taking the risk?
• What’s the reward for not taking a risk?
