risks and rewards:
Ever wonder why when you did something risky you always felt more alive and full of energy. I always wondered anyway. If you ever felt this way this book is for you. The book has principles that would help anyone who has forgoten how to take risks for the right rewards. Taking full fledge leaps rather then a little here and a little there. "Leap your ass off!" The most insightful passage in the book for me was about sometimes not takng risks is best for you. I never thought of risk in that sense before. Overall I loved the book and I would recommend it to anyone.

Maybe it's time you took a risk?:
Have you ever thought about changing jobs or your career? Is fear holding you back because of the risk involved? In this book, Bill Treasurer shows you how to break down and examine risk and make fear managable. There are some risks worth taking and some you can't afford not to take. Mr. Treasurer uses examples from his own life as a high diver to explore risk. He also made a career change from working in the corporate world to starting his own consulting business. Even if "your risk" is something other than career related, this book is for you. I came across the book at my local library. I was so impressed that I ordered a copy of my own so I could read it again and share it with others. It's written in a format (with questions at the end of each chapter) that is could be used as a small group study guide. Next to the bible, it may be the most potentially life changing book I've ever read. It's available on Amazon.com or you can purchase a signed copy via his web site http://www.giantleapconsulting.com.

Great BOOK and a Great INTERVIEW:
Some people are risk avoiders rather than risk takers, yet the regret that comes from lost opportunity can be far worse than the pain of not succeeding. Some of the signs of risk avoidance are procrastination, hesitation, being distracted, disorganization, and not being certain that your career is fulfilling your purpose in life. Bill Treasurer says that you can create your best life - a life full and rich, that's high on rewards and low on regrets - by developing a solid framework for risk. And he should know, because he was a seven-year member of the U.S. High Diving Team and made over 1,500 giant leaps from 100 feet up - often fire-diving as "Captain Inferno" into shallow waters far below. I interviewed Bill Treasurer on "The Inside Success Show" and was moved by his authenticity and genuineness. I see risk taking and risk avoidance in a new light. Blind Faith has new eyes! Here are some other things I learned. ** How Bill Treasurer overcame is extreme fear of heights to jump into shallow water from 100 feet, while on fire. ** Why you need learn which risks are right for you and how to use the 4 P's to discover them ** How you can completely overcome your fears by risk scripting ** What risks you must not take if you want to stay alive ** Why risk takers earn far more money than risk avoiders Taking risks is essential to growing personally and professionally and if you are ready to authentically live your purpose in life, and enjoy authentic abundance, then get this book and pay attention to this "on fire" man who reveals the secrets to successful risk taking. Randy (Dr. Proactive) Gilbert, Host of The Inside Success Show (TheInsideSuccessShow.com) and best-selling author of "Success Bound"

Compelling and practical look at risk taking.:
There's an old story about a frog that sits on a lily pad, thinking about whether to jump to another lily pad to his left or the log to his right. He sits and thinks, sits and thinks. Eventually, because he never makes a decision, he turns to stone. That frog needed Bill Treasurer's book. RIGHT RISK helps readers face life's challenges with confidence and courage. Treasurer shares his wisdom through great writing and with compelling examples from his own experience as a member of the U.S. High Diving Team, making abundantly clear he knows a lot about risk taking. Read this book!

A Practical Book On How to Lead a Fulfilled Life:
RIGHT RISK is one of the best, most practical books I've read in years. The author, Bill Treasurer, truly delivers upon his promise: He shows readers how to discover, plan for, and take the risks they know they must take in order to have a fulfilled life. Treasurer -- at one time a professional daredevil, who routinely set himself on fire and jumped nine stories into a water tank, and who later became Accenture's first-ever internal executive coach -- distills his risk-taking wisdom into ten principles. Those principles include the following: "Find Your Golden Silence," through which you brush aside mental chatter, and decide upon the proper risks for you. "Defy Inertia," through which you overcome the natural human tendency to shun the work that risk requires. "Write Your Risk Scripts," through which you escape the predictable, push-button ways you normally react in stressful situations. "Trespass Continuously," through which you understand that obedience to others' standards may be the greatest risk of all, and pushing back is your safest option. In the end, this book isn't just about how to take one or two specific risks. It's more about how to build character and live with what Treasurer calls "personal fidelity." It's about being your own person, and using the potential you know is there, only you haven't gotten around to using it yet. Writes Treasurer: "An old maxim says the best way to be nothing is to do nothing. A lot of people prefer bragging how they could have been a contender to actually contending . . . While asserting your potential is much easier than living up to it, living in the shadow of your unused potential can be a dreadful burden. Both inertia and laziness leave scars of safety. Many a bar stool has been warmed by the seat of a man whose most taunting recollections are of risks he didn't take." (p. 57) RIGHT RISK doesn't guarantee your success. Such a promise would be unrealistic. What it does do is knock you off your bar stool, and gets you out into the world, where you can take action. (...)
