Cameron Herold: Vivid Vision

Cameron Herold is the founder of the COO Alliance and the author of several books including Meetings Suck* and The Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs*, co-authored with Hal Elrod. His new book is Vivid Vision: A Remarkable Tool For Aligning Your Business Around a Shared Vision of the Future*.

Key Points

If you don’t have a good idea of where you want to be going, opportunities could pull you away from what you should be doing.
When you’re clear on your direction, you’ll be able to say yes to the right opportunities and no to the wrong opportunities.
Most leaders have a vision but they just don’t communicate it clearly.
A Vivid Vision is a 4-5 page statement, written in the present tense, about where you see your company in three years.
Create a vivid vision for the whole company and individual ones for each business area.
Dream up what you’re looking to build and then put together the team and resources to help you do it.
Just focus on what you want to do, don’t worry about how you’re going to do it.
