#116 - In this episode, Travis speaks to successful entrepreneur and highly rated speaker, author, and mentor Cameron Herold. Cameron’s philosophy of simplifying things and focusing on a single goal has transformed his businesses from a bootstrap to a multi-million dollar company that grew exponentially from a span of just a few years. Apart from the coaching sessions and lectures he has done all over the world, he has authored the best-selling book Double Double which has helped business owners achieve the growth and success of their business in just a short amount of time. Cameron and Travis share a wealth of knowledge and practical ideas that would certainly be valuable for entrepreneurs. Cameron teaches the value of learning from other successful entrepreneurs and find out what they did to become successful. Acknowledging that not knowing everything and learning every bit of information from the best people that you can learn from is something that Cameron also advocates. He also shares the key principles on how we was able to create a world-class environment in his companies such as aligning the goals and vision of all of your employees in your company; creating a real, world-class culture in order to attract the top employees; and leveraging free PR so that everyone will know who and what your company stands for. They also share the principle of working smart rather than working hard. These and so much more are what entrepreneurs can expect from this episode of the Entrepreneur’s Radio Show.
