Early in my book

there’s a chapter called

THE FOG—

that period in life

when you’re uncertain about

what’s next, where you’re heading,

or how to handle a current situation.

This past Thursday at MIT,

I delivered a keynote to 75 entrepreneurs

who are members of

a group called “Gathering of Titans.”

As successful as everyone in the room is

(having founded $10-100 million dollar companies),

the topic of THE FOG had great resonance.

The truth is, successful people

face not knowing a lot.

Why?

Because the very nature of success

requires heading into new territory

again and again, finding yourself in situations

you’ve never seen before,

often feeling overwhelmed

and at a loss.

So if you’re in THE FOG,

consider it part of the path to success.

You’ve made a move, taken a stand,

or left a comfort zone.

You’re in a new landscape,

one that’s unfamiliar.

This takes courage.

So now what?

Here’s a 33 second clip from Thursday’s keynote,

filmed by someone in the audience

to offer a bit of insight.

I hope it helps.

Risk Forward & Rock On,

P.S. In the video, the first words “The Fog” are cut off…
