Cameron Herold

What if the reason you're struggling to delegate has nothing to do with your team and everything to do with who you are outside your clinic? Dr. Lauryn expected a conversation about hiring a second in command, but business growth expert Cameron Herold takes things in a direction neither of them anticipated. What happens when being a doctor or entrepreneur becomes your entire identity? And if you finally had more free time, would you even know what to do with it? Together, they explore how to hire the right second in command, why promoting your most loyal...

Most founders start a business to create freedom. Then they build one that cannot function without them. I started this conversation with a question I have had to ask myself: Why do so many founders say they want to scale, then build a company that cannot function without them? Cameron Herold knows the cost of that contradiction. At 34, his health, marriage, family life, and business were all under extraordinary pressure. He thought he was handling it. Then a stress assessment came back at 435. Cameron says a score of 250 represented a 90% chance of a heart attack. His entire identity had become the business. In this conversation, we explore what Cameron changed after that moment and how founders can build companies that support their lives instead of consuming them. We discuss delegation, executive assistants, second-in-command leadership, personal Vivid Visions, unique ability, coaching, failure, gratitude, and why Cameron's own team told him they liked it when he went away. Cameron Herold is an entrepreneur, author, former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK, and founder of the COO Alliance.

How much more effective could you be at creating everything you want for your life if you had a detailed (aka "vivid") vision of where you're going? Without a clear vision, it's easy for us to get pulled in different directions and end up arriving somewhere less than ideal. That's why I'm excited to talk to my friend, Cameron Herold. Cameron is the co-author of The Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs, founder of the COO Alliance and author of Vivid Vision: A Remarkable Tool For Aligning Your Business Around a Shared Vision of the Future. Cameron's the guy to talk to if you want to gain exceptional clarity in your life (or business) to make your goals a reality. In our conversation, you'll learn Cameron's strategy for creating a Vivid Vision for your life, why setting bigger goals motivates you to achieve them, and the habits that make top performers successful. You'll also hear Cameron talk about his experience living with monks, what he learned from working with Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal, and how to put yourself in a peak emotional, physical, and spiritual state so you can improve your life and the lives of those around you. KEY TAKEAWAYS What living in a monastery taught Cameron about being present and living a spiritually rich life. Stop waiting for motivation to arrive! Learn how bigger goals can fuel you to achieve what you thought was impossible. Why you should enjoy the process instead of always worrying about the outcomes. The greatest obstacles that prevent people from achieving their goals. The importance of surrounding yourself with smart people that will hold you accountable and push you forward. Top performers know when it's time to take action to achieve their goals. Others search for the magic bullet. The importance of anticipating setbacks and only focusing on things you can control. Perfection is the enemy of progress. Be kind to yourself when you slip up, and do better tomorrow.

How and when does a healthy corporate culture go off the rails? What are some red flags to be aware of when you’re sizing up a potential workplace? Before you spring for that lower back tattoo of your company’s logo, be sure to take a listen to this A Little Bit Culty episode featuring Cameron Herold. As a successful entrepreneur and in-demand CEO Whisperer, he’s coached dozens of companies globally and is known for creating world-class company cultures. Once upon a time, he also used this talking point on the regular as part of his top-rated keynote speaking gigs: "To build an amazing company, it has to be a little bit more than a business, and a little bit less than a religion, it has to be in the zone of a cult." Cameron joins Sarah and Nippy to talk about why he no longer stans that culty line of thinking, and how corporate culture routinely blurs the lines between community and coercion.  About Our Guest: Cameron Herold is the founder of the COO Alliance, author of 5 business books including Vivid Vision, and founder of the Invest In Your Leaders course. He's been paid to speak on all 7 continents including Antarctica…and is the former COO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK? which was ranked the #2 company to work for in all of Canada, and became a case study at  Harvard Business School, and landed him on Oprah.

Cameron Herold developed the “Vivid Vision” format years ago, allowing not only him but other high-level business leaders to peek into the crystal ball of their futures. This vision doesn’t magically come true once you write it out, but mysteriously, those who craft a "Vivid Vision" accomplish, if not exceed, their goals for the future. No one is more deserving of a call with Cameron than J.B. Klein, our winner of BPCon 2021’s coaching call giveaway. J.B. scaled quickly over the past year to hit a respectable unit count, but he’s feeling traction slip out from under his feet. J.B. wants to ensure that his business is set up to grow if he intends to acquire many multiples of his current portfolio. To that end, JB crafted a Vivid Vision, and a team of copywriters at Conscious Copy helped turn it into a masterpiece! This call between Cameron and J.B. is a massive resource to anyone investing in real estate, regardless of business size or experience. Cameron is a highly sought-after business coach and he makes clear, direct points that any listener of The BiggerPockets Podcast can take and expand upon to make their lives more fulfilling. In This Episode We Cover: How to craft your three-year “Vivid Vision” of a future business Describing and defining your why behind business growth, passive income, and freedom Building strong relationships with your team, partners, and investors Minimizing anxiety and sleepless nights as a stressed-out leader Delegating any task that doesn’t include your “genius”  Setting up the core values of your business and sticking to them And So Much More!

Does the book, “Vivid Vision” sound familiar? Brandon Turner (host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast) raved about it when he we interviewed him on the show last year. Brandon credited the book with helping him overcome his vague thinking, providing him the insight to hone his goals and putting him on the path to massive success with real estate syndications. In fact, Brandon raved so much about the book that we knew we had to have the book’s author on the show to provide our listeners a first-hand education on why creating a vision is important and how we should be doing it. And that’s what we’re doing today... Cameron Herold -- best-selling author, founder of The COO Alliance and the operational brain behind several behemoth companies, including 1-800-GOT-JUNK -- is here to help you learn how to clearly define your business and life vision in a way that will put both you and your team on the path to success. Cameron breaks down the steps for defining your vision, documenting your vision (hint: it’s a lot more fun than you think), and then sharing that vision with your partners, employees and prospective employees to ensure that the entire team is aligned with YOUR vision for success. And, for those of you who like to think about things from an analytical perspective, make sure to listen for Cameron’s mathematical formula for success… Check him out, and subscribe to the BiggerPockets Business Podcast so you won’t miss our next show!

Known as"The CEO Whisperer", Cameron Herold is an entrepreneur, highly paid speaker, author, and business coach. He was responsible for taking the company 1-800 Got Junk from $2 million in annual revenue to over $106 million in annual revenue in only 6 years. He works with and coaches some of the most prolific individuals on the planet including multi-millionaires, politicians, monarchs, and Fortune 500 CEOs. Favorite Success Quote "You'll never be smart enough to figure this out on your own. Your R&D should stand for be rip off and duplicate. millions of companies have already spent millions of dollars figuring out virtually every problem and every opportunity you will ever encounter. Just do what they're doing. Instead of trying to sit down and figure it out for yourself, you already have the cheat sheets, just go ahead and use them" Key Points 1. Always be learning always be growing  If you want to have an exceptional life, not a good life, but an exceptional life, then you must commit to constant and never ending growth. Cameron recently attended an event in Las Vegas with dozens of other high profile entrepreneurs including Cole Hatter, Grant Cardone, and Tai Lopez, and he noticed that every single one of the speakers was actively listening and taking notes while the other individuals were on stage. Many of these people already had 7, 8, and even 9-figure businesses. However, despite their success, they were still attentive and engaged in the event, constantly seeking to learn something new. And if you want to create the best life possible for yourself and your family, then you must have the same voracious appetite for knowledge. Never ignore an opportunity to learn and improve yourself, never assume that you already know something, and never take the wisdom of other's for granted. 2. If you can control your time you control your world  Many people think that entrepreneurs only care about money. And sometimes, this is true. However, most people who delve into the world of entrepreneurship do so because they understand one important thing. When you control your time, you control your world. When you are at the beck and call of your manager, supervisor, or boss, you will never truly have control of your time. When you are dependent on active income for your livelihood, you will never truly control your time. When you give control of your financial destiny to others, you will never have control of your time. Entrepreneurship allows you to change all of that. Sure, entrepreneurship can be even more stressful than working for a business because everything depends on you. But because everything depends on you, you have absolute control of your schedule and your life. You are able to say "No" more, work on your own time, take days off when you want, and live a life that most people dream of. It's hard work, but it's worth it. If you can find a way to create a lifestyle in which you control your schedule (even if you technically work for someone else) then you have achieved one of the ultimate successes in life. 3. Being "Messed Up" Can Be Your Biggest Asset  Most entrepreneurs are ADHD, bipolar, and suffer from some form of Tourrettes. And guess what? They often succeed because of these so called "disabilities", not in spite of them. Having severe ADHD allows you to juggle countless projects simultaneously, engage in moments of hyper focus, and constantly be bouncing from idea to idea. Having a manic-depressive personality is what allows you to persuade people to join your team and work for you even when things aren't going as well as you had hoped. Tourettes, a.k.a. thinking out loud is a hallmark of some of the greatest geniuses and businessmen in all of history. The point is, being "messed up" or "disabled" isn't always a bad thing. In fact, if you know how to leverage them, your disabilities can often become your biggest strengths. 4. Good Enough = Success  So many of you reading this are being held back by your own perfectionism. You are so focused on making everything that you do perfect, that you never embrace "Good Enough" and actually get it done. Being good creates momentum. Being perfect keeps you stagnant. Think about Apple. Techniologically, they are one of the most inferior companies on the market. But because their product is good enough and they have an incredible marketing team and millions of raving fans, they are one of the most successful tech companies in the world. Think about McDonald's. Their product is inferior to just about any other burger on the planet and it's actually been linked to serious health problems. b But because it's "good enough" and backed by incredible marketing and culture, they continue to succeed as one of the highest grossing fast food chains in the world. If you want to be great, focus first on being good. Once you have achieved "good", market the hell out of it, rinse and repeat. 5. Understand that Your Network is Your Networth  Nothing will accelerate your results and happiness or keep you mired in mediocrity as much as your net work. If you are surrounding yourself with grade A+ players who keep you on track and inspire you to do great things, you will find yourself breaking through to new heights and achieving goals that you never thought possible. If the company that you keep regularly engages in low caliber behavior and holds low caliber attitudes and mindsets, you will quickly find yourself sinking further and further into a pit of failure. Possible the most important thing that you can do on your quest for the good life is to be intentional about who you allow in your circle. You are the average of the five people you spend your time with most. Ask yourself, "Who are my five people and do I want to be anything like them?"

If you're reading this, there's an 80+% chance that you're an entrepreneur or someone who's considering launching a business. However, whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a wantrepreneur, today's conversation with Cameron Herold is a must-listen. In addition to being my co-author for The Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs, as well as the author of Double Double, Meetings Suck, and Free PR, Cameron is known around the world as the "business growth guru." He has helped hundreds of companies achieve exponential growth and is one of those rare individuals who knows how to present his extensive knowledge and experience in a clear and effective way. Today, Cameron joins the podcast to discuss his journey into entrepreneurship, why running a business is much more about who to do things with than how to do things, and why he can almost always identify an entrepreneur in a crowd - even if he's never met them before.   Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit HalElrod.com/293   Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.
