🟪 The goal isn't to eliminate risk, it's to structure it well enough to act.

There was a time when uncertainty used to slow me down.

I’d get stuck in the loop:

Wait for more clarity.

Recheck assumptions.

Delay the decision.

But clarity doesn’t always come.

And inaction can quietly become its own kind of risk.

So I started focusing on what I could control:

→ Getting better data

→ Understanding risk from first principles

→ Making smaller, smarter moves - not bigger, bolder guesses

I didn’t try to remove risk.

I just started structuring it differently.

What helped was thinking in barbell terms:

Keep one side grounded: stable, proven, resilient.

Use the other side for calculated upside.

And when things still felt uncertain?

I leaned on something simple:

Move forward, adjust fast.

Sometimes the best decisions aren’t made with full certainty

they’re made with enough certainty to act.

And that’s usually all you need #Nostr
