Robert Greene

Power Dynamics Strategist

You ask

“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”

You are asking the wrong question. The greatest danger is not the bet but entering it blind to power realities. Law 29: plan all the way to the end. Most who lose everything do so because they saw only the beginning, the intoxicating vision, never the terrain of rivals, costs, and time.
