You Get Lucky By Being Paranoid

#DanielMarcos was riding the crest of wave in his second successful business when the crash of 2008 hit. He was wiped out within 24 hours. Daniel believed until that moment that he had the Midas touch, that he was a natural when it came to entrepreneurship. His hubris and arrogance saw him lose everything, including his self-esteem. Despite being offered the country manager role for Google in Mexico, Daniel's ego was raw. After weeks of self-indulgent self-pity Daniel received a call from the legendary author of #ScalingUp, #Verne Harnish whipping him back to reality. Verne invited him to become a coach for CEOs of mid market scale ups. Reluctantly he agreed to do this at the weekend and quickly his weekend income outstripped his salary so he went full time. We discuss the common blindspots he sees in so many CEOs, what seduces them off the right path and the challenges associated with coaching founders who delude themselves into thinking they have the magic touch. Daniel shares several frequently UNasked questions we explore: How much cash will each decision you make generate or suck from your business? Oxygen Options Are you the CEO your company deserves? Do you know what you don't know? Who has the knowledge you need or the answer to the questions you have? Daniel explains when you reach a certain size you stop being the boss and become the employee of your employees. This interview is a litany of practical tips and advice no founder, CEO or entrepreneur can afford to miss.
