Being firmly planted in reality means looking at the hard, scary, and uncertain aspects of life and maintaining a belief that we will prevail despite challenges. Jackson Calame hosts the Vision Pros, a live podcast where he interviews Market Leaders to explore their vision, challenges, and principles of success. He teaches visionary entrepreneurs how to unlock sustainable revenue growth and expand their legacy by becoming a Power Brand in their market. Statistics show that 96% of businesses fail within the first 10 years. Jackson's mission is to guide businesses not only in avoiding failure but in becoming true leaders in their market. He believes that the secret to success lies in addressing our blind spots.

The problem arises from over-simplified buzz words such as content marketing, social media, and A.I. as short-term revenue growth hacks—mere get-rich-quick schemes. Methods like branding, organic SEO, online ads, email marketing, digital and traditional marketing, funnel hacking, and automation may not yield long-term success. Simply hiring a "yes man" won't change this.

However, embracing the Law of Abundance and the Law of the Harvest, and focusing on serving others, can work in your favor. Hard work is essential, and entrepreneurs and business leaders who genuinely care about their customers understand the value of this approach. Jackson invites those who want to make a positive impact to consider sustainable revenue growth as the solution, as hype and tradition continue to lead to business failures.

To achieve true growth, expert guidance is crucial, requiring a focus on customers' needs and desired results, rather than just the minimum budget. Shifting from a "catch-up" culture to a proactive "get ahead" approach demands discipline, but great teams enjoy the process. Jackson emphasizes the importance of aligning your vision and mission to reflect in your sales, support, marketing materials, and processes.
