Trying is never zero-risk but not trying is always 100% risk of failure.
The bigger the risk the bigger the reward usually, that's how capitalism works.
Work a 9-to-5 at a safe company, make a nice salary, have little risk
Work a 9-to-7 at a startup, make less money but have equity, have more risk of the company going under but have a bigger shot at reward
Start your own company, have no salary but 100% equity, risk being homeless, reward being a billionaire
Every choice you make is a risk-reward calculation and you have to decide what's important to you and whether it's worth risking for a bigger reward.
