    <p>What do you want out of life? What do you want to <strong>accomplish in the next 3-5 years</strong>? When asked this question, most entrepreneurs give a pretty simplistic answer. Something like “Oh, we’ll get more clients by this time next year” or “I’ll buy two more houses and then I’ll be happy”. How often do we <strong>sit down and paint a picture of what we want our life to look like</strong>? Today we’re discussing <strong>Vivid Visions </strong>with their creator <strong>Cameron Herold</strong>.</p><p>Cameron is a<strong> veteran in the business world</strong>, he likes to say that he was “groomed” by his entrepreneurial grandparents and father to become a success story. By the time Cameron was 21, he had a <strong>full-on business that had 12 employees</strong>, and at 22 he bought his first <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/buy-and-hold-rental-property"><strong>rental property</strong></a>. He later became a franchisee for College Pro Painters and was so successful that he went on to coach new franchisees.</p><p>He’s partnered with <strong>hundred-million dollar companies</strong>, grown and sold businesses for millions, coached the<strong> CEO of Sprint, a monarchy in the middle east</strong>, has written 5 books, and runs the <a href="https://cooalliance.com/podcasts/?utm_source=www.google.com&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=Google&amp;referrer-analytics=1">Second in Command Podcast</a>, where he talks to successful COOs. Cameron is someone who clearly has accomplished a lot and has a TON of wisdom to share.</p><p>Cameron has serious knowledge on <strong>business management </strong>and talks about the importance of the<strong> CEO and COO relationship</strong>. Cameron describes how a COO needs to be a partner to the entrepreneur (the CEO) and operate as the<strong> ying to the CEO’s yang</strong>. If you’ve heard the terms “<strong>the visionary and the innovator</strong>” from books like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007QWLLV2/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&amp;btkr=1"><em>Traction</em></a>, this is exactly what Cameron is talking about.</p><p>If you’ve been wondering where the idea of a “plan” or “vision” comes into play, Brandon, David, and Cameron all discuss their “<strong>Vivid Visions</strong>” and how it’s led them to success in their life. Cameron coined the term “Vivid Vision” because most entrepreneurs were simply writing down a 1-2 sentence mission statement instead of <strong>creating a vision of what they wanted their company and future to look like</strong>. This vision not only helps you build a life you want by design, it also entices great executives, employees, and partners to join you on your path to that clear and decisive “Vivid Vision”.</p><p>In This Episode We Cover:</p><ul>
