“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Honestly? I feel like the question answers itself, because you called it your one big idea, not one of your ideas. My parents moved our whole life around a kid who wanted to be the best in the world, and a lot of people thought that was crazy. It kind of was. But you don't get the Sunday without the crazy.
So here's what I'd do. Write the goal down where you'll see it every day, the real one, not the safe version. Then bet, but bet like an athlete, which means you plan the training, you plan the losses, you plan the money so a bad month doesn't end the season. People who thought they were putting water on your fire are just going to be the ones adding gas to it later.
That's not a line, that's just how it goes.
