We all know what a wonderful experience it is to carry an entrepreneurial idea to fruition; it’s what gets us up every morning. But if we’re not careful, it can also be a curse. Our single-minded focus on that new idea or that next opportunity can cause us to forget about the other important aspects of our lives. Some entrepreneurs are happy to live life only for the business, but many of us will one day look around and realize what we’ve been missing out on during our pursuit of success.In The Third Decision: The Intentional Entrepreneur, the second book in Randy H. Nelson’s bestselling Decision Series for Entrepreneurs®, Randy explores the concept of “entrepreneurial addiction” and how entrepreneurs can become more intentional about their everyday and future decisions. Being an intentional entrepreneur requires you to think ahead, asking yourself some tough questions about what you might, in the future, regret about today. The Third Decision will help you conduct a clear-eyed examination not just of what you’re doing now and why, but also how you might feel when you look back on it someday in the future. Are you content with how you’re living, or aren’t you? Will you work to control your addiction and make room for a fuller and more satisfying life or is this the life you would choose first, last, and always? By the end of the book, you will have developed a list of non-negotiables to govern your decisions: things you simply won’t compromise on, regardless of what your growing entrepreneurial business venture demands of you. Non-negotiables—one of the critical success factors in building a regret-free life beyond business! What decisions do you need to make to live a regret-free entrepreneurial life?

In this book, The Fourth Decision, we seek to become maximized, expanding the time horizon for our entrepreneurial dreams to an entire lifetime, realizing that a high percentage of entrepreneurs simply never retire—they just work differently as they age. Having done the work and reaped significant rewards as successful entrepreneurs over the past decade or so, we now turn to What’s Next (?!) for our companies and our own lives. Maximized entrepreneurs (ME) are those who make a conscious choice to commit proactively to a lifetime career as an ME, determined to top out as the successful and fulfilled architects of their own entrepreneurial lives by strategically aligning every axis of their lives for maximal impact. The ME fully embraces their drive toward full potential, both for themselves and their organization(s) through a commitment to entrepreneurial and organizational leadership development. Utilizing collaborative and proven decision-making tools I have developed over the past decade, we will move forward together in The Fourth Decision with a new or enhanced application of discipline in both your personal and professional lives ... remembering always that ... you get one entrepreneurial life to live.
