Sometimes we say YES out of desperation, or fear, without wondering, is there another way?
There are times in our career where we do need to think creatively and find alternate ways to accomplish our dreams and goals - and that can unleash the power of karma in our businesses!
Throughout his career as a startup entrepreneur, investor, and business broker, Carl Allen saw the power of karma.
As he was brokering the sale of a business - his FIRST sale - Carl found himself facing a decision. He could encourage the owners to accept a sale that would net him a fee of $250,000 (but cost all the employees their jobs), or find a new buyer. What happened next changed the course of Carl’s life, and led him to his absolute best YES!
