Cory B. George Urges People to Rethink Risk: “Calculated Chances Create Real Growth”

By: Zexprwire

Indiana, US, 27th October 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Real estate investor and entrepreneur Cory B. George is encouraging individuals and business owners to rethink their relationship with risk, discipline, and long-term growth. Known for managing over 100 rental properties and preparing to launch a new Midwest-based student housing investment fund, George is using his platform to highlight why measured risk-taking and emotional control are key to success in any field.

“Most people think risk is dangerous,” George said in his recent feature interview. “But avoiding it is riskier. Calculated risks create progress.”

George believes fear of uncertainty often stops people from starting businesses, investing, or chasing new goals. He’s advocating for a cultural shift—one where people embrace informed risk instead of waiting for perfect timing. “You don’t win every hand, but you learn to stay calm and wait for the right move,” he explained, drawing on lessons from his years as a poker and blackjack enthusiast.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 20% of new businesses fail within the first year, largely due to poor planning or fear-based decision-making. George argues that understanding and managing risk—not avoiding it—is what separates long-term success from short-term burnout.

“Leadership isn’t about being perfect,” he said. “It’s about showing up, making decisions, and learning from what happens next. You can’t grow if you’re standing still.”

Why It Matters

George’s perspective comes as Americans face record economic uncertainty. Yet research from the Kauffman Foundation shows that entrepreneurship rates are climbing, with 500,000 new businesses started every month. His message—to take smaller, smarter risks—offers a realistic path for people seeking progress without reckless leaps.

“Start small,” George advises. “Buy one property, launch one idea, make one bold move. Test it, learn from it, then go again.”

Call to Action

Cory B. George is challenging readers to take ownership of their growth:

  • Start where you are. Don’t wait for ideal timing—learn by doing.
  • Study your mistakes. Review what worked and what didn’t.
  • Stay disciplined. Manage emotions before they manage you.

“Success isn’t about chasing everything that shines,” George said. “It’s about staying patient, taking smart chances, and trusting the process.”
