Altering destiny: Are there really any accidents?

by Craig Garber November 18, 2008

It’s funny how life works. Sometimes random and accidental events happen that cause dramatic changes in what would otherwise be a completely different outcome.

As you probably know, last week I sent out a survey to my list, to get feedback on the upcoming title of my book. If you were one of the people who responded to that survey, I want to say a very sincere “Thank you” for taking the time out
