Look! Another Business Opportunity!
You have a game plan for your business. Someone proposes another opportunity beyond the scope of your plans, but one that has great sparkle. What do you do? Back-burner everything else to pursue the rainbow? Worried that if you don’t act, it will evaporate? Possibly blinded by greed?
