• What makes a good coach? Someone who’s gone further than you, seen more than you’ve seen, failed in more interesting ways than you have, and prevailed in the face of challenges more daunting than you’ve faced.
• I believe there are really only two kinds: risks of commission and risks of omission. In other words, risks you take and risks you don’t take.
• You don’t grow if you’re not willing to take risks.
• “Return on Risk,” or ROR, is a term I use to refer to the relationship between the cost of risk and its return (which isn’t always financial). It’s similar to how you would think of a “Return on Investment,” or ROI.
• We will have to make many conscious and deliberate choices, some of which will be bold and unconventional. Hopefully, some will turn out to be winners. Certainly, some will turn out to be mistakes.
