Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex and today we're talking about one of the biggest differences between those who stay average and those who actually want to level up. Taking calculated risk. Let's be real here, success doesn't come to those who play it safe. But here's the catch.

It's about knowing when to take the shot and how to stack the odds in your favor. So let's break it down. First, calculated risk aren't about luck, they're actually about preparation. Before I left law enforcement to dive into entrepreneurship, I didn't just wake up one day and say, hey, let's roll the dice. I actually researched, I planned, and I surrounded myself with people who had done it before. So preparation turns risk into opportunities. If you're not doing the work behind the scenes, you're actually gambling. You're not taking a calculated risk.

Second, calculated risk separate you from the crowd. Most people are too scared to step outside their comfort zone, and that's why they stay stuck in life. When you're willing to take a chance on an idea, a business, or even yourself, you're already ahead of 90% of the people. Playing small keeps you safe,

but it also keeps you invisible. Lastly, failure is part of the process. Even calculated risks don't always work out, and that's okay.

and every attempt brings you closer to the win. The key is to learn, adjust, and keep moving. Calculated risk builds resilience and pave the way to success. So what's the bottom line here? Calculated risk are what sets the greats apart. They prepare, they step up, and they don't let fear hold them back. If you want to level up in life and in business, you have to take the shot guys, but make sure it's the right one. Thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast.
