🟪 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
