CAMERON HEROLD

I'm the Founder of the COO Alliance & Second In Command Podcast (iTunes).  And I'm known around the world as THE CEO Whisperer.  Founder of the COO Alliance http://cooalliance.com/

I am the mastermind behind hundreds of companies’ exponential growth. I've built a global consultancy-  and my clients have included a ‘Big 4’ wireless carrier and a monarchy. My clients love that I'm not a theory guy- they like that I speak only from experience.  I earned my reputation as The CEO Whisperer by guiding my CEO & COO clients to double their profit and double their revenue in just three years or less.

I was an entrepreneur from day 1.  At age 21, I had 14 employees. By 35, I’d help build my first TWO $100 MILLION DOLLAR companies.  By the age of 42, I engineered 1-800-GOT-JUNK?’s spectacular growth from $2 Million to $106 Million in revenue, and 3100 employees— and I did that in just six years. Companies I've led have landed over 5,200 media placements in those same six years, including coverage on Oprah.

Not only do I know how to grow businesses, the publisher of Forbes magazine, Rich Karlgaard, stated “Cameron Herold is THE BEST SPEAKER I’ve ever heard…he hits grand slams”.  

When I step off the stage, I don’t stop teaching.  I am the author of the global best-selling business book DOUBLE DOUBLE- in its 8th printing and in multiple translations around the world, as well as Meetings Suck, Vivid Vision, Free PR and The Miracle Morning for Entrepreneurs. And my newest The Second In Command.

I am a top rated international speaker and have been paid to speak in 29 countries.  I am also a top-rated lecturer at EO/MIT’s Entrepreneurial Masters Program and a powerful and effective speaker at Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer leadership events around the world.

Look for my 6 business books on Amazon today.

The only network of it's kind in the world for 2nds in command.

People act surprised at 40. 
They shouldn’t be.

Being broke at 40 usually starts at 20.
Regret at 45 starts at 25.
Burnout at 50 starts in your 30s.

Outcomes compound. So do standards.

Your future isn’t decided by age or luck. It’s built by the decisions you repeat when no one is watching. How you manage money, how you treat your body, how you lead your team, what you tolerate inside your company.

Most people don’t fail dramatically. They drift.

They drift in their habits.
They drift in their standards.
They drift in their leadership.

And drift compounds just as powerfully as discipline.

If you want a different future, raise the bar now. 
Not when the consequences show up.

What are your current standards compounding into?

Most companies don’t fail because they lack vision. They fail because they stop paying attention to revenue early enough. Bankruptcy rarely happens ov
