In some fields, "risk" equates to "danger."
For instance, every day a policeman goes on patrol, s/he takes on a big risk to life, limb, and sanity.
There, we talk about the risks of a dangerous profession.
However, in business, there is a more precise meaning of that term. A business "risk" is an area that could cause a business to fail because of uncertainty in the outcome of the step that carries the risk.
For instance, if you are going to invest some money in a business, you want to see the list of potential risks that could cause the business to tank. Businesses take this concept even farther by having a topic called "Risk/Reward" analysis. It is a way to identify good and bad risks.
So... what is risk? It is the chance you take that things won't go as you hoped.

Risk is a concept that denotes a potential negative impact to an asset or some characteristic of value that may arise from some present process or future event. In everyday usage, risk is often used synonymously with the probability of a known loss.

Risk is a psychological barrier in the mind. It is where a 'red flag' is seen internally cautioning us that our limit of knowledge and experience has reached a point beyond which we are in deeper areas. It is an inbuilt safety mechanism that prepares us for a higher need.
When we say we are taking 'risk' we mean we are treading an unknown path.

taking a chance on losing something one values
If there is no chance of personal loss, it is not a risk.
