Upcoming book:  Told through one entrepreneur's story, The Inevitable Box chronicles the unanticipated traps that all business owners fall victim to at different stages in their business.  Beginning with the transition from visionary to owner, the entrepreneur is forced into a balancing act which threatens the very passion their venture was founded upon.  As the journey progresses, Allen touches on the innate characteristics of the entrepreneur that propel success yet, unchecked, can also fuel demise.

A book for the budding entrepreneur, the seasoned business owner, or anyone who finds themselves disconnected from their passion; The Inevitable Box will leave readers with a shared sense of identification, a new self-awareness, and tangible ways to bypass those traps that only seem inevitable.  For more information on the book or to inquire about pre-ordering, visit The Inevitable Box website at www.theinevitablebox.com.
