Lori Greiner, a prominent investor on Shark Tank, shared a message about taking risks and overcoming fear in a recent Instagram post on December 26, 2024. Addressing the common hesitation people face when pursuing their goals, she emphasized,

"What stops people from being successful is the fear of taking that first step right? You just can't be afraid. What I always say is take that first step because every time you take a risk, you get closer to your goal....Take that first risk because taking a risk is the real success in life.”

Greiner urged her followers to see taking chances as a necessary step on the path to achievement. She went on to say that every risk gets people one step closer to realizing their goals and encourages them to be proud of their accomplishments rather than letting fear stop them.
