“Worrying is destructive. Worrying slows you down. Worrying makes it harder for you to achieve any attainable goals.” -an unnamed fellow entrepreneur

Recently, an enthusiastic entrepreneur approached me at a networking event to mention that’s he’s working on a “tremendous” new start-up.  He was hoping that I might have a few relevant connections to offer.

Awesome.

Excited to hear about his deal, I pushed for the details.   Unfortunately, he informed me that he cannot disclose anything in too much detail because his start-up is still in stealth mode.  In fact, if I really would like to know more, he notified me that he’d be open to grabbing coffee the following week, at which time I could sign a non-disclosure agreement.

I smiled politely, wished him the best of luck, and moved on to a different conversation.

Pulling simply from the nature of our discussion that day, it’s possible I will never know just how tremendous…
