It’s always a good plan to de-risk your life, career, investments, relationships and many other things.
Even when you lean a ladder against the wall, it is best to de-risk the climbing of said ladder by having it stable on the ground, at a good angle to the wall, and ideally someone at the base holding it.
All these things might seem like overkill until that one time the wind comes up quickly, or you get sun in your eyes and lose balance a little, or a random dog chasing a cat hits the ladder.
Expect the unexpected.
Be safe rather than sorry.
A stitch in time, saves nine.
Lots of great sayings reminding everyone to de-risk early even if it does not seem necessary. Don’t be the example that people refer to about being too cavalier with your body, mind, finances, career, and relationships.
