Are taking risks the only path towards success?

Not necessarily, however generally the more the risk the higher the reward (not in all cases of course)

i think that depends on what metrics you weigh so heavily to qualify as a validation of being successful in the first place.
Launching soon!
@uma_venugopal Totally - some people define completion as success and revenue metrics are secondary. Some people see success as trying in the first place!
The headline seems a bit like a loaded question. Risks are part of the game, but they're not the whole playbook.
There are many people who also play it "safe" and do just fine.
Success is relative. The key is to show up and be consistent while working smarter not harder.
Does that have to include risk? No!
It all comes down to what your end goal entails. If you want to be the next Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, then you can bet it is going to involve a ton of risk to get there.
However, if you just want to live a comfortable life and take care of the ones around you, there can be very little life-changing risks involved.
The only thing you'll be risking is your time and it failing.
Definitely not "the only path", but sometimes risks are simply unavoidable.
@ixord Definitely true! It's not always the big moments that define us but all the small little moments (steps) that got us to our success! 👏🏻
