Successful wealth managers usually have a consistent discipline about investing, and especially regarding risk.   One CEO of an investment advisory firm thinks you should reflect on ANY risk like an investor.  This short article may help you reduce the downside of your next initiative.

A better use of your emotional energy is to be highly disciplined and complete those 8-12 yard passes and the higher completion rate results in stellar win.
