Why higher rewards always come with a catch


If you want growth, you need to understand risk, not avoid it. That doesn’t mean chasing hype or YOLO bets. It means understanding how returns and risk move together, and what “playing it safe” might really cost you over time.


This skill helps you find the balance between staying cautious and investing with confidence.


You'll learn:


  1. How risk and return are always connected, even if it doesn’t seem that way at first
  2. Why playing it safe often means slow growth and missed long-term opportunities
  3. How to define your personal risk level and build a portfolio that fits your comfort zone
