Career Advice: Take risks early and often in your career

One of the important lessons this economy has taught us is that not taking risks is risky. There is so much out of our control and if we just keep doing what we did yesterday, we can’t get ahead.

By taking a risk, you are putting yourself in a position to learn, whether you succeed or fail. You’re also showing to your management that you’re willing to put your reputation on the line to make things happen.

As we become an ever more entrepreneurial society, those that take risks, both inside and outside of the corporate walls, will become more successful.
