Quote: If You're Not a Risk Taker, You Should Get the Hell Out of Business -Ray Kroc
Last week I watched the season finally of my new favorite show, The Profit. The company featured was Mr. Green Tea, a specialty ice cream maker. I love ice cream, but had never heard of this company before. The company was started by the owner's father with a business partner. The business partner wanted to grow and expand the company. The owner's father didn't want to risk a bird in the hand for two in the bush. Well, they parted ways. The owner's partner, was able to maintain the business and it is still in existence today. The business partner started Häagen-Dazs®. Now, that's a name I recognize. Guess who got the better end of that deal. Now Mr. Green Tea has a solid reputation in it's region. But Häagen-Dazs® is known world wide. That's what happens when you take risks. The business partner saw an opportunity for growth and took a chance. That's what you do when it comes to business. The risks you take may not always work out, but when they do, the rewards can be immense! What is stopping you from taking a risk in your business?
