Most people take 50/50 risks—spend $1,000 to maybe make $1,000 back. Or worse, they take asymmetric downside risks—trade a $50,000 reputation or job for a $5,000 raise. That’s not ambition. That’s math failure.

The wealthy play a different game. They hunt for asymmetric opportunities—moves where the downside is capped and the upside is limitless. Start a podcast for $100. Send one cold email to a dream client. Publish one smart post that lands the right eyes. Each of those is a small bet with a massive potential return.

You don’t need to be fearless. You need to stop betting everything on even odds. Play the games where losing costs little, but winning can rewrite your life.

Today’s Move: Run the “One-Bet” Experiment. Place one small, smart bet this week—a $20 idea, a 10-minute email, or a post that showcases your skill. Let compounding and curiosity do the rest.
