I want to talk about risk. Your risk, specifically. Did you know that humans are twice as concerned about avoiding losses as they are about achieving investing gains? That means investment losses hurt a lot. You’ve probably heard that the worst thing you can do during a downturn is sell, but do you know the psychology behind that impulse? It’s called loss aversion. It’s one of the reasons why people can sabotage their investments by selling when they get scared, missing the recovery, and then buying back in once they feel “safe” again. Understanding and leveraging human psychology is one of my most important jobs as an advisor. My approach uses the Risk Number, based on Nobel Prize-winning research. Together we can quantify how much risk you want, how much risk you currently have, how much risk you need to reach your goals, and how much risk you should take on. Your Risk Number is like a speed limit. Some people are comfortable driving 95 MPH. Others don’t want to go a hair over 45 MPH. It’s my job to help you determine your comfort zone and use it to manage your investments. If you haven’t already, learn more about calculating your Risk Number. https://lnkd.in/gcSCCXqZ

Many Indians say that LinkedIn is for only business talks. Can anyone tell me what business talks we do here: 1. Starting any search engine??? 2. Any innovative ideas??? 3. Any risk management discussions??? 4. Any risk mitigation discussions?? 5. Any new business plans??? 6. Any strategic thinking??? This forum has become like marriage bureau where people declare their availability status. Am I wrong in my analysis?

"If you want clients, remove the risk..." This is what Alen Sultanic answered to someone... ...who asked him about getting clients (can't recall his exact question)... Basically what Alen meant was... Biz owners see you as an investment, and every investment carries lots of risks. And when you remove those risks... There's no reason for clients to get in bed with you (meaning: in business with you). Remove the risk = You become a safer investment Perfect, but what are those risks? It might vary from biz to biz, but here are some: Risk -> Not good enough How to remove risk -> Show them how good you are via samples + pitches Risk -> Can't trust 'em How to remove risk -> Testimonials + stats (prove by numbers) Risk -> Might not write exactly how I want How to remove risk -> Offer a free trial copy These are on the top of my head... You can keep adding as much as you'd like. What risks can you think of? Share your thoughts.
