Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps

CEO Playbook Ep 7: How One CEO’s Vivid Vision Transformed a Business By Hitting Every Ambitious Goal in Just Three Years

Jonathan Herps

Success in business isn’t just about setting goals. It’s about crafting a vision so compelling that your entire organisation rallies behind it. 

In this episode of Stories of Scale, Jonathan Herps breaks down the strategy behind a client’s remarkable transformation.

Three years ago, this CEO was overwhelmed, his company’s growth had plateaued, and accountability was slipping. Fast forward to today, and the business has not only hit every ambitious goal but is now set up for even greater success.

We did this through the power of a Three-Year Vivid Vision. It’s a detailed, future-focused roadmap that aligned leadership, engaged employees, and turned strategy into reality.

In this episode of Stories of Scale with Jonathan Herps, you’ll discover:

  • How a clear, compelling vision shifts a company from firefighting mode to unstoppable momentum (01:19)
  • The three critical steps to crafting a clear, actionable three-year vision that aligns your team, sharpens your strategy, and turns ambitious goals into reality (04:53)
  • Why stepping away from the chaos can be the most strategic move you make for your business’ future (06:11)
  • How one CEO transformed his business by mapping out a detailed, immersive three-year vision (07:00)
  • The value of focusing on high-value projects, building an elite team, and eliminating distractions (10:46)
  • The customer experience shift that turned clients into raving fans (12:18)
  • How to escape the day-to-day grind, build a 90% A-player team, and create a business where employees are invested in success  (14:09)


Key takeaways for CEOs and business owners:

  • Clarity drives execution. A great vision isn’t just inspirational. It’s detailed, actionable, and crystal clear so every team member knows exactly how they contribute.
  • High-value clients over high-volume sales. Scaling isn’t about selling more. It’s about selling smarter. Focusing on high-value clients leads to bigger wins with less burnout.
  • The CEO’s three roles. A leader’s job isn’t to put out fires. It’s to operationalize strategy, develop people, and manage cash. Master these, and you’ll scale with confidence.

The future of your business depends on the vision you create today. Tune in now and take your leadership to the next level!
