        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "SMART goals create accountability. They're specific enough to act on, measurable enough to track, and time-bound enough to maintain urgency. Without them, business activity can feel busy without being productive."

        "@type": "Answer",

        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "When the potential upside is clearly understood, the downside is manageable, and there's a contingency plan in place. Calculated risks backed by data and planning are an essential driver of growth. Avoiding all risk is itself a risk."
