How and when to take big risks

A lesson from our founding fathers [Image](https://) Greetings Everyday Spy, The men who signed the Declaration of Independence took extreme risks. By declaring independence from Great Britain, they committed high treason against the Crown. But few realize the risks they were now facing: - Being drawn to the gallows (dragged behind a horse on a wooden frame) - Hanged by the neck (but not until dead) - Cut down while still alive - Having their entrails removed and burned before their eyes - Beheaded - Having their body cut into four parts - Having their head and quarters displayed at the king's discretion And these punishments were brutal. During the Revolutionary War, five signers were indeed captured by the British and tortured as traitors. Many others had their homes ransacked, property destroyed, or family members harmed. But their complete dedication to their cause meant they took huge personal risks. Today, you don’t have to face anything even close to what the founding fathers did… But you deal with risk every day, too. Work is a great example. Staying at a job that's not going as you planned is a risk. You risk wasting time that you can never get back. Quitting or starting your own business is a risk, too. That’s why Workplace Dominance includes a module specifically about understanding risk so that you can see the true weight of your decisions. The first step is to think about your emotional link to the risk. It helps to write down some thoughts about your current risks on paper. This creates a clearer picture of what’s at stake. Once you know your true feelings about the risk, it becomes much easier to commit to massive action in the face of adversity. Just like the founding fathers did.
