ABOUT THE INEVITABLE BOX
Clarke Allen found himself sitting in the dark of his 30,000-square-foot building with no work, no staff, and no marriage and no hope. It was a stunning drop for an event designer and planner who had created events for celebrities, socialites, sports teams and major corporations. Now he was at the brink of bankruptcy. Allen had a decision to make. He set out to discover how he could possibly go from being the go-to event designer in the Southeast to being an utter wreck, both professionally and personally. Placing the blame directly on himself, Allen wanted to find out why his craving to be significant had ended in such disaster — and how he could create a life worth living.
Clarke Allen’s gripping journey from go-to event designer to “utter wreck” inspires anyone who has dreamed of success and, subsequently, wrestled with immeasurable loss. Allen walks readers through his quest for meaning and deliver and inspiring message of re-emergence. The Inevitable Box resonates deeply with the Phoenix buried inside us all – to help readers re-create a rich, meaningful, redefined and passionate life.

What People Are Saying About "The Inevitable Box"
We all know the cliches of being an entrepreneur. When you do what you love, you never work a day in your life. You are really good at that; you should start your own company. True BUT what we do not know or hear about are authentic accounts of what a life as an entrepreneur really looks, feels and most importantly lives like. As someone that has and still successfully owns and operates small businesses ranging in size from 10 – 100+ people, I can truly say that this book is worth reading. It connected and hit my core like no other.
Clarke takes the entrepreneurial journey and tells his story, in full & sometimes cringe-worthy detail. TIB is filled with his honest accounts of the ebbs and flows of life, great victories and failures, emotional breakthroughs and breakdowns, mentors and negative influences as well as life altering epiphanies and letdowns. Clarke’s brutal honesty allowed me to connect with myself in a way that I asked the really tough questions. Why do I do what I do? Do I enjoy it, does anyone? Why are there so many failures along with seeming success? After reading, I can truly say that I have improved my efficiency and enjoyment in life and in business. The book ends on a very positive note and truly demonstrates that what matters is that when we find our why, life changes.
To put a final cap, if you feel like you are the only one succeeding and struggling at the same time, do yourself a favor and read this book because you are not. Thank you Clarke for your honesty and for helping to bridge the gap in entrepreneurial theory and reality.
