Description of Positive Risk

Learn What it takes to Become a Positive Risk Taker

"Positive risk is a perspective, an attitude, and a life philosophy that creates a shift away from the negative view of risk that so many of us were taught. This book will help change your perceptions regarding risk so that you can begin to better understand how valuable and constructive risks really are. Many of us go to great lengths to avoid risk, yet in reality, it is through taking intelligent risk that we grow, learn, and achieve our dreams, goals, and ambitions. By taking well–thought–out chance, we make a difference in our own lives and those of others. By adopting a positive risk perspective, you will begin to see new possibilities in yourself and the world around you."

–From Positive Risk

"There are three legs in creating success: confidence, passion, and risk taking. Positive Risk delivers realistic, doable strategies that work today. Stoker′s ideas will open your eyes, enthuse your spirit, and get you back on track. Positive Risk is a keeper for both personal and professional libraries."

–Dr. Judith Briles, author, The Confidence Factor

"Colorado author Barbara Stoker is a master at risk taking."
