“All small businesspeople are pioneers, and their companies are the hearts of their communities. Of course there is risk that comes with being a pioneer, but the risk is minimized if the community is built on an impressive set of values; impressive in that they make an impression on the lives of the people who come in contact with them.”

“Risk tends to get a bad rap. We associate it with things like losing money in the stock market, or riding a motorcycle without a helmet. But risk isn’t the enemy—it’s a permanent part of life.

If you can intelligently take on risk, you will find opportunities others miss.” – Reid Hoffman, co-founder and chairman, LinkedIn
