Never Go All In
I was at a professional event recently and met an incredibly successful person who was sharing some stories of his career journey.
His path included twice losing obscene amounts of money, much more than most people make in their whole lives, and yet now being successful a third time. One of the losses involved, a trusted colleague lying about something which led to the collapse of a company he was running.
After sharing these stories, he leaned over towards me and shared this advice: Never to go all in after some initial success because you can never predict every source of risk.
