Great post, Martin. All the hype aside, entrepreneurs are actually a pretty risk averse bunch once you get to know them. That said, I suspect these are some "risks" most could and would get behind.

Exploit your competitor’s weakness and make it your strength. That don't look like risk action, but definitely is the smart one. :)

Thank you for tips and sharing!
