On Thursday, I recounted a conversation I had with a friend about risk and money, and I alluded to the notions that starting a business is not risky and that risk is a myth. I wanted to elaborate further on why I think risk is nothing but a myth.

Almost two weeks ago, I wrote about Market Leverage and why it’s an attractive and profitable affiliate network. A major reason for Market Leverage’s popularity is its customer service. It’s fast, personal, and effective.

Welcome to another YouTube Friday.
I’ve been posting videos about Tim Ferriss, Robert Shemin, and Robert Kiyosaki. Those were all great because they revealed the minds of established rich entrepreneurs. Today, however, I found an inspiring video clip from The Big Idea (Donny Deutsch’s show).
