Before diving into any venture, ask yourself: What might I gain even if it "fails"? Will I learn, make an impact, or form valuable connections with like-minded, capable individuals? What could I "become" as a result of this experience?


It may not be smart to risk your life savings on the success of one endeavor, but considering these questions might help you choose a more meaningful path.
