We had the good fortune of connecting with Britt Dosdall and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Britt, how do you think about risk?
“No Risk, No Reward” – this is often the saying we hear when it comes to deciding whether or not to take a risk. As cliche as it may be, I whole heartedly agree! Fear is typically what stops us from taking risks but I believe fear is the opposite of faith. If I have faith in myself as a business owner, my ideas, my brand and ultimately about the service that my company provides, then there is no room for fear in my day to day.
When I encounter an opportunity, decision or idea that some might consider “risky”, I ask myself if I fully believe in it… If its not a “Hell Yes!” then it’s a no. If it is a “Hell Yes!” then I choose faith instead of fear, I commit to that decision and I put in all of the work to ensure that at the end of the day I can say “I did my absolute best”! Whether or not the risk reaps the rewards you hoped for, you have to know that you gave it 100%!
There are plenty of times that the risk doesn’t pan out the way you had hoped but there are just as many (if not more) that reap the biggest rewards and are pivotal moments in your story when you look back – it’s important to stay present so that you can recognize those rewards (no matter how big or small) and celebrate those rewards in real time. This helps keep your mind clear and focused on your goals so that you can continue to choose faith instead of fear and live a full life!

I would absolutely NOT be where I am today if I didn’t have an incredibly supportive circle of family, friends, mentors, like-minded professionals and colleagues. I believe people come in and out of your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime and I thank my lucky stars every single day that I have crossed paths with so many wonderful people who have contributed to my story. Family – I was raised by entrepreneurs and adventure seekers; strong-willed, creative, spontaneous and thrill seeking individuals who taught me to dream big, reach for the stars, work hard and to live with a little extra zest for life! They taught me that it was okay to make mistakes, as long as you learned a lesson. They taught me to work hard but play harder and to do it all with integrity.
Friends – This incredible circle of people sees me for who I am even more clearly than I do on most days! They keep me centered, focused and on the right track but are also my biggest cheerleaders every step of the way.
