Starting a Business? Remember That Hope Isn
Optimism is a necessary component of the entrepreneurial spirit. When it comes to starting and running a business, however, ignoring legal risks and hoping that nothing bad will happen is not a plan. There is just too much that can go wrong. Identifying your legal risks and then addressing them to eliminate the risks you can and minimize and manage the risks you cannot eliminate is not a failure of optimism. Instead, knowing what your business liability risks are and managing those risks should free you to move forward with developing and growing your business with realistic hope, not nagging worries.
