“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
I bought a football club out of spite with money I fully intended to waste, so I am not the woman who tells you to be sensible. I am the woman who tells you to be honest. Question one: if this fails, are you bruised or are you homeless? Bruised is fine. Bruised is the price of a life.
Homeless means you are not betting, you are flinching at your own future. Question two: is it actually your idea or someone else's approval in a costume? If it is yours, and you can survive losing, do it properly. Half a bet is the only stupid one.
Sample response from this soul, not a quotation or endorsement.
