The other day I cracked open a marketing newsletter email and they referenced a recent TEDx talk given by Cameron Herold entitled “Your Vision Statement Sucks“. I watched it and was hooked. It was transformative. I bought the book (see the link below to ‘Vivid Vision’), read it in a couple of hours, and proceeded to sketch out both a personal vision and a business vision for the next 3 years. I roped Minette into doing the same. I think part of me jumping into this wholeheartedly was that it finds me at a time in my life where I was starting to look for a little more reason behind the choices I was making. Or maybe it was just a little post-Ironman let-down 🙂

You’ve heard us talk about the importance of using visualization techniques to point our brains in a certain direction. I think that Herold’s approach of creating a detailed vision of the next 3 years is a great way to ensure that the things we are visualizing are in fact taking us in the right direction. He argues that from a business perspective you can’t truly lead a company (whether it’s just you or a whole team) unless you have detailed and shared a multi-year vision of what all aspects of the company will look like. We agree!
