As a sports psychologist and keynote speaker, I am looking for great stories and messages-Here is one. Memorial Day just passed and with it goes our memories to all the heroes in the military-The men and women who take risks everyday.

While their lives are usually not the same as risk taking in business, there are many parallels.Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks who made billions on taking risks with new enterprises. Cuban mentioned that his life takes on a different hue when he is engaged in risk taking endeavors.

We have all heard it before-We must take risks to succeed-but I would also add that we should have a plan for your risk taking strategies-While it is important to leap, make sure you have a plan when you land!
