Book 2/52 of My #52Books52Weeks Bucket List Challenge

When I set the challenge to read 52 books in 52 weeks, I knew I wanted books that would expand my thinking, inspire action, and help me live my Bucket List Life to the fullest. Vivid Vision by Cameron Herold is exactly that kind of book.

If you’ve ever struggled to articulate your big dreams—whether in business or life—this book is a game-changer. It’s all about crafting a clear, detailed, and inspiring vision of where you want to be three years from now. Not vague goals, not just numbers, but a vivid, emotional, and descriptive picture of your future success.

Key Takeaways from Vivid Vision

  • Clarity Creates Certainty – The clearer you can define your future, the easier it is to take steps toward it. Without clarity, you’re just drifting.

  • See It, Believe It, Achieve It – Writing a Vivid Vision helps you and your team (or family) emotionally connect to the future you want to create.

  • Think in Detail, Not Just Numbers – Instead of saying, "I want a successful business," describe what that business looks, feels, and even sounds like. Who’s involved? What’s the culture like?

  • Reverse Engineering Your Dreams – Once you have a Vivid Vision, you can work backward to make it happen, setting goals that align with your bigger picture.

  • Inspiration Over Persuasion – A compelling vision pulls people in. Whether it’s employees, business partners, or family, when they can see the future you’re building, they’re more likely to buy in and help make it real.

How Vivid Vision Relates to Living a Bucket List Life

  1. Your Bucket List Is Your Personal Vivid Vision – Just like a company’s vision, your Bucket List is a vivid, exciting picture of your future life. Writing it down in detail makes it real.

  2. Big Dreams Need Clarity – Saying "I want to travel more" isn’t enough. What’s the destination? What experiences do you want? Who are you with? The more specific you get, the more likely it is to happen.

  3. Reverse Engineer Your Bucket List – Once you’ve described what success looks like, break it down into small, actionable steps—just like you would in business.

  4. Create a Vision That Excites You – The best Bucket Lists aren’t just about ticking off random activities; they reflect the life you want to create. Make sure your vision lights you up!

  5. Surround Yourself with the Right People – Just like in business, your environment and the people around you will either support your vision or hold you back. Choose wisely!

Reading Vivid Vision reinforced something I’ve always believed—when you clearly define what you want, you give yourself permission to chase it. That’s what living a Bucket List Life is all about!

So, take a moment today. Imagine yourself three years from now. What does your ideal life look like? How can you write it down in vivid detail?

This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to turn dreams into reality—whether in business or life.

Let’s keep the #52Books52Weeks journey rolling! 🚀

Stay tuned for Book 3 of 52 as I continue this adventure of learning and growth!
