Power Play: Only roll the dice when you can afford to lose

Power Players never gamble unless they can afford to lose.

Think of it like Vegas: never put it all on black unless you can afford to go home empty-handed.

Gambling is incredibly alluring and very sexy, but only if losing will not wipe you out. Power Players always, always know the odds. If you can’t afford to lose, you can’t afford to play.

The story

I’ve got a million of them, but none of them will convince you of anything unless you are in the driver’s seat.

One day a huge opportunity will come your way and require that you take a big gamble.

If you like your chances then go for it, but there’s no such thing as a sure thing.

Factor in losing and – if you can still play another day – take the gamble.
