			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://proentrepreneurship.com/risk-free-report"><img class="size-full wp-image-14 alignnone" title="&quot;Are You At Risk?&quot;" src="http://proentrepreneurship.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/risk3.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="242" /></a></p>
<p>According to Arthur Combs from Northern California University, &#8220;Our whole entire educational system is built on right answers which produces a great fear of making mistakes and stifles creativity.&#8221;  Many times we are afraid to take risks and sometimes our decisions are not really conscious ones.  Sometimes it&#8217;s really a subconscious influence based upon our fear of what the negative results might be.  Maybe we are afraid of ridicule or humiliation.  Maybe we&#8217;re afraid of looking silly or stupid or like an idiot&#8230;or whatever.</p>
<p>For the Potential Entrepreneur, one question looms most importantly over all the others: &#8220;Could there be something that I subconsciously learned in school that is holding me back from taking the steps necessary to really succeed in business or in any area of life?&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Stephen Pierce, instead of asking the &#8220;holding me back&#8221; question, Entrepreneurs should ask themselves:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>What&#8217;s the reward for taking a risk?</strong></li>
<li><strong>What&#8217;s the punishment for taking a risk?</strong></li>
<li><strong>What&#8217;s the reward for not taking a risk?</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Everyone has heard the quote, &#8220;Progress always involves risk.  You can&#8217;t steal second base and keep your foot on first.&#8221;  It&#8217;s only through risk that we allow ourselves to grow and expand our thinking and our life&#8217;s goals and dreams.</p>
<p>Stephen exposes the fear based myths that <em>squash people&#8217;s dreams</em> and leave them drowning in various levels of <em>opportunity inactivity</em>.</p>
