Risk Brings Reward
No matter what stage your business is in, there are always decisions to make. Every move is a choice between playing it safe and taking a risk. No one would advocate taking blind risks at every turn, but many times, the greatest reward comes after a great risk.
Chris Savage and the team at Wistia are intimately familiar with taking big risks and coming out with a win. Some of their risks have included buying back shares from their early investors, choosing to continue through hard times rather than selling, and their recent “1, 10, 100” project.
What Wistia has shown is that if you know your business, you know your customers, and you stay true to yourself, you can be confident in risk. Creating something genuine rather than sticking to the popular method is the way to a fulfilling and lasting success!
In This Episode
- How Wistia approached the “1, 10, 100” project.
