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!

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"

Right on target!
Not only was Treasurer right on target during his high diving years, but he's also right on target with his book now. The world around us has become a scary one - sometimes the simplest things seem awfully risky. Treasurer's book has something for each one of us along the risk taking spectrum. His insight and clear writing will help the most risk averse recognize the risks they're overlooking in doing nothing. "Right Risk" will also coach the adrenaline junkie on how to actually make progress with all the risky behavior - instead of just taking more risks. Treasurer's conversational style, strong organization skills, and use of wonderful quotes (both familiar and new), make this a delightful read while challenging you to do better, leap higher, be more true to yourself. He really has a gift for for making risk taking seem... well, less risky. Jump! It will serve you well.
