On Friday, March 6th, Randy H. Nelson stopped by
Orion International’s headquarters in Cary, NC, to speak about his book, The Second Decision, that came out last
month, as well as to sign copies. Randy was a founding partner of Orion
International and led the way for many of the business systems and procedures
that the company uses today.
Randy spoke briefly about his vision of forming Orion
International with four other former Junior Military Officers, relating the
tremendous growth that the company saw within the first couple of years. Today,
thanks to the hard work and dedication of Randy and his business partners,
Orion International has grown into five offices and has placed over 33,000
veterans into civilian careers. Read more about Orion International’s history here.
He then went on to speak about his book, which addresses the
second part, or “second decision”, of becoming an entrepreneur. He explained that while it is easy to begin a
business, running a successful business requires extensive business knowledge
and decision-making processes, posing the question, “Do you have what it takes
to run a business?”

Randy finished his talk with a call to action to become more
self-aware, especially in the area of knowledge. “Always keep learning,” he
stated, “and when you think you’ve learned it all – start again.”
