Download Even the Odds: Sensible Risk-Taking in Business, Investing, and Life AudioBook Free
In Even the Chances, Karen Firestone talks about how risk diagnosis plays a dominant role in all aspects of life. We may all define risk, and our tolerance for this, somewhat diversely, but we would all acknowledge it plays a pivotal role in guiding us toward an optimum outcome. To be a long-time investment consultant, Firestone has grown familiar with interpreting risk on a regular basis. She's developed four center tenets of risk-taking we can all apply to anticipating, evaluating, and giving an answer to the potential risks we face in our business, committing, and personal lives. These tenets are right-sizing; right-timing; relying on skill, knowledge, and experience; and keeping yourself skeptical about numbers, assurances, and forecasts. Firestone's way is both functional and accessible to people who are making important decisions, such as embarking on new profession or life changes, starting or operating an organization, making a big investment, or deciding how to balance across a full portfolio of possessions. The audiobook is wealthy with anecdotes and examples of how many dominant market leaders in their areas encountered and dealt with risk along the way. Firestone also stocks her own successes and failures, in particular when she made a decision to risk everything - a fabulous career managing vast amounts of dollars at a premium investment company, her reputation, and the security at home that is included with a solid and stable job - to go out on her own. Even the Chances helps us understand the broader implications of risk - and how it books our decision-making - so that we can improve benefits across multiple facets of our lives, from our businesses and ventures, to the personal choices we make.
