There is no real business opportunity without risk. Serious entrepreneurs know that, but too many “wannabes” still fall for that elusive dream of a get-rich-quick scheme with no risk. As an active Angel investor, I still hear entrepreneurs asserting large opportunities with minimal risk or no competition. My conclusion either way is that there is no market, or they haven’t looked.

Risk and reward are directly proportional. You avoid risk and you will end up losing opportunities. This is one characteristics that separates entrepreneurs from others. They are willing to take risk and not afraid of failure. If they do fail, which most do, they learn from it, get up and move on to the next target.
