Winning Your 'Now or Never' Moments (Part 1 of 2)

from Book Is the Hook · host Eric Koester

How do you decide?  Experts say our decision-making process as either rational or emotional -- meaning we are carefully deliberate, or just act and go with our gut. For Donna Khalife her life was a series of rational, deliberate decisions that led her to the top Business School and job offers in Wall Street and Silicon Valley.  And she took "none of the above", choosing a life following her passions that has led her to the hills of Hollywood, a top rated author and today a Shark Tank alum who's company Surprise Ride has raised millions after first being passed over by the Sharks.  In the first part of our discussion, you'll hear how Donna acted 'rationally emotional' by choosing to create her own path that in hindsight isn't all that risky or crazy -- and how you can do the same.  It's a fascinating conversation showing the power of winning in the decision-making moment.
