Window of Opportunity

#Entrepreneurship101 Anything you do there will be some sort of risk involved... But don't fall flat be aware of risks by either;


  1. Calculated risk; this involves an in depth analysis and research before take off. 
  2. Shared risk: This involve in partnership with a colleague in setting up. 
  3. Trust based risk; This involves information from people whom you trust and within your close circles and well wishers. Sometimes gut feeling...
