Skin in the game

When it comes to success, there’s no substitute for hard work. But there’s also no denying the importance of taking risks. To achieve great things, you have to be willing to put yourself out there and put your skin in the game.

Sure, there’s always a chance of failure when you take risks. But there’s also a chance of greatness. And isn’t that what we all ultimately want? To look back on our lives and know that we gave it our all and went for it?

So what does it mean to put your skin in the game? It means being vulnerable. It means being open to new experiences. It means being willing to fail.

It’s easy to stay in your comfort zone. But if you want to achieve something truly special, you have to be willing to step out of it. You have to be willing to put your skin in the game.

So go ahead and take that leap of faith. Apply for that job you’re not quite qualified for. Go on that first date even though you’re terrified of rejection. Put your skin in the game and see what happens. The worst that can happen is you’ll learn a valuable lesson. The best that can happen is you’ll achieve something great.
