Learn the impacts of having a second-in-command

Imagine running a business where you’re the visionary but need someone else to make it happen. That’s where the Chief Operating Officer or COO comes in. They’re the yin to your yang, the execution of your vision. They run the sales, marketing, and operations side of things while you focus on what you do best. Having a COO in your team is undeniably a game-changer for the team.

Cameron Herold is a top business consultant, best-selling author, and speaker. He’s the mastermind behind hundreds of companies’ exponential growth, and he’s touched thousands of businesses indirectly through his work. Cameron teaches what he knows from experience and is passionate about sharing his expertise with today’s most dynamic business leaders.

I’m looking forward to you enjoying this episode.

Key takeaways:

• The importance of having a second in command to execute the CEO’s vision
• COO Alliance is a community that provides a mastermind and tribe for COOs
• Practising the Miracle Morning book that Cameron Herold co-authored
• The usefulness of the Vivid Vision concept for personal and business planning
