In this motivational excerpt, Coach Raphael Djine warns against excessive caution—"overcaution"—that prevents people from seizing opportunities. He illustrates the concept with personal examples: choosing a marriage partner, sending a daughter to study abroad, traveling during COVID, and engaging in international trade. While acknowledging the need for prudence, he stresses that being overly fearful leads to lost chances and financial loss. The speaker urges listeners to balance caution with decisive action, learning to “press the trigger” quickly when opportunities arise, so they don’t miss out on potential growth and success.

Chapters

A wrong selection of mate in marriage. Number 16, overcaution. Overcaution. If you are so, so, so, so, so cautious about what you do, you know, whatever you want to do, you want to make sure, hey, I make sure this thing is going to work. I need to make sure I check all the facts and all that. I don't know. You know, I want to send my daughter to go and finish her education in America, but I hear that there's, you know, some gambling, drug in America. I mean, I can't, I can't, I can't let it happen. You know, I want to travel, but I hear that COVID is killing people. I can't, I can't go to Dubai and buy my merchandise. I can't get that container out of, out of China. I hear that Chinese people, they may not give you everything they promise. Come on! Overcaution. I can't buy, I can't get in business with this person because he looks like— I'm not saying not to be cautious, but I talk about overcaution. Oh, I lose money before, I will never do this before. Oh, this man abused me before, I will never talk to men again. Oh, this person from this tribe did this with me. Oh, I would never. No. Be cautious, but not overcautious. Sometimes your opportunity, you can be one feet away from your opportunity. And if you didn't learn how to press the trigger quick enough, you may lose a lot, a lot of things. Be cautious. If it's not, you could lose everything. But don't be overcautious.
