Today’s guest, Randy Nelson, is CEO of Gold Dolphins, LLC author of "The Second Decision: The Qualified Entrepreneur.” It’s a wonderful book that has changed the way I lead my own business.
The first decision is your decision to start a business. The titular Second Decision comes in after the business is up and running smoothly.
The Second Decision is whether or not you, as a Founder of a business, are the right person to run a business. The book helps you answer the question, “Am I the right person to lead this company for the next 3-5 years?”
Randy defines five roles in the book – three are qualified to help run a business and two are not.
Randy models his qualification system around the tests he went through to become a submarine pilot. It features a qualification card that asks you every question anyone will need to be able to answer to run a business for the foreseeable future, built around the top reasons companies fail or underperform.
“I really am pushing leaders for self-awareness on whether they are the right person in that right seat. It's a combination of self-confidence and self-awareness. If you have both, it's a powerful combo. If it's just the self-confidence piece without the self-awareness, it’s a risk.”
Randy wants leaders reading the book to be more self-aware of the role they are best at and enjoy the most. It’s okay if you aren’t the leader and don’t have a role to play in running a stable company – you just have to be self-aware enough to hire someone better suited for that role or leave the company behind.
Randy is currently working on “The Third Decision,” which will explore how leaders and entrepreneurs can avoid some regrets in their lives by being more self aware of the decisions they make in their personal lives.
If you haven’t already, pick up "The Second Decision: The Qualified Entrepreneur" and become more self-aware about the role you should have in your business. It’s a must buy.
