In the journey of entrepreneurship, having a clear long-term vision is crucial for success, but it often starts as a fuzzy idea. Entrepreneurs frequently default to numerical goals because they’re easy to understand. However, a simple, bold vision—like Nike’s “Crush Adidas”—can drive a team more effectively. The EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) process helps business owners break down their 10-year targets into manageable, actionable steps by focusing on 90-day increments. Leadership teams play a crucial role in refining this vision over time. By setting a clear destination and adjusting as necessary, entrepreneurs can ensure their businesses stay on track. Vision isn’t static—it evolves as the company grows, but the key is staying aligned through regular reassessment and teamwork.


“Being accountable to a goal, having a fixed position is freedom. It is freedom.”

Key Takeaways:

Vision clarity is essential:

Entrepreneurs often start with a fuzzy idea of their future, but involving your leadership team helps crystallize that vision.


Bold, simple goals inspire:

A vision like “Crush Adidas” can unite teams around a shared purpose without relying on numbers.


10-year targets evolve:

Regularly reassessing your vision every 90 days ensures your business adapts to changes while staying focused.


Use EOS for structure:

The EOS system helps entrepreneurs break down long-term goals into manageable, actionable steps.


Accountability is key:

Weekly meetings keep teams on track and ensure progress toward the 10-year target.


Focus on a few priorities:

Narrowing down your goals to three to seven priorities per year increases your chances of success.


Integrator vs. Visionary roles:

Visionaries need integrators to keep the team accountable and manage day-to-day operations.


People fit matters:

Having the right people who align with your core values and vision is critical for long-term success.
