Being a gambler could actually help you succeed in running a business…

[Fredomago]

Essentially, anything that leads to limits to minimize various undesirable possibilities is always good and recommended. However, failure doesn't mean you're planning to fail. The most important thing here is to be willing to try to develop a useful strategy to minimize the possibility of significant losses.
Always maintaining a minimal approach, such as betting small amounts and not focusing on winning, is a good first step to becoming a gambler. In fact, the key, in my opinion, is "don't make winning a priority." That's all.

Failure also visits those who planned not to fail, but the worse of it as I said, is not doing anything at all about succeeding, in one aspect that suites us right or help in becoming a better player. I would place people who do nothing about doing things right in the category of gamers who don't know where to begin with planning a strategic method to gambling.

You need to have that strategy and additional back up plans just in case you failed from your attempt to succeed, there's always a good adjustments to make if you take failures as stepping stone to learn more about succeeding, that particular approach can also be adopt when you are into business, even you already plan your way to succeed, if things did not materialize, learned to accept and find the best way to adjust there's always a chance if you already learned from your own experienced.

I was just thinking about this because gambling is all about taking risks, where nothing is guaranteed and we don’t even know if we’ll win. so in a way, gamblers are natural risk-takers, and when someone starts a business, they also need that mindset which is taking calculated risks, making bold decisions, and having the guts to push through uncertainty.

So I’m curious, do we have any successful business owners here who could say that their experience as a gambler somehow helped them succeed in business?

It is impossible for a gambler to be successful running his/her business,I haven't seen anywhere where that happens considering the fact that the person will be using his capital from the business to be booking and gambling, it's said one can't mixed pleasure with business, anyone that mixes pleasure with business the business won't survive,one you keeping removing money from the business without replacing it,lo and behold the business will collapse.
Except the gambler won't be using the money from his business to gamble then he/she can be in business or run a successful business, gambling is all about risk taken which we understand perfectly but you can't  be risking your capital on gambling and at the end of the day you loose,the business will drastically fall. As a business person just stay away from gambling,it will make you fall.

Only if we don't take it for granted, we could actually pick up some insights from gambling and apply to how we run out business or daily life, gambling is not just a child's play, but what we do to get more knowledge and help boost our thinking ability towards critical circumstances, so if I can see a gambler who is well disciplined enough, then I can tell you that such attitude could help him in his business or way of life positively.

The risk taking of businessmen and gamblers is completely different in my opinion - I'm not sure where the correlation is. Gamblers essentially take risks because they want to have fun in the hope of winning something - but businessmen play among risks that are not instant like in gambling. Gamblers may be able to do business and succeed at it - but risk management in both is completely different.

Such would happen when the person is not very disciplined I believe that if a business person learns to gamble responsibly the person have a good chance of properly managing his business and still gamble during his leisure, owning a business has it's own risk but all it takes is the person to just understand the risk management of both gambling and owning a business then he'll have a fair chance of handling both making wrong decisions.

I have seen more people lose their businesses due to irresponsible gambling than gamblers who have achieved success in their businesses.

Indeed, when it comes to gambling or business betting, one of the keys to success is the courage to take risks. However, if done without careful calculation, then it is not courage, but recklessness.

In building a business, experiencing losses is inevitable, while achieving success is merely a matter of possibility. However, that possibility can still be fought for and maximized, and even if you fail, you gain invaluable lessons and experience. When it comes to gambling, however, it is almost entirely dependent on luck. The chances of winning and profiting from gambling are very difficult to maximize. And when you lose, all you get is loss and regret.
