Paul's liking your "worst question resonates with me. I ask that a lot with my resume clients. There are times when they are afraid to apply for something... worst case scenario... they say no... nothing ventured, nothing gained. And then I teach them how to say thank you for the no... which sometimes can lead them to a Yes! Great Post again, Ali! Paul's liking your “worst question resonates with me.

Asking that question diminishes the size of the risk because it creates awareness, you can take action to minimise the possibility of the worst thing happening and you can put in a contingency plan to protect you from the impact of the worst happening. Just from that one question taking calculated risks can become much easier. I love that question too.

Ten great things to remember when risk taking, all too often we fail to properly assess the risk, with honest questions such as these and then wonder why we meet with failure.

I love, “What is the worst thing that can happen? If you don’t know the answer to this question you can’t assess if it is a risk worth taking or not.”

Paul
