How do you keep a growing organization aligned and moving forward together? What role does vision play in overcoming resistance to change and creating momentum?

In this episode, Daren Blonski and Carmine Corino continue their scaling series by exploring vision as the critical simplifier for growth. They share practical strategies for keeping teams focused, from weekly GSL (Grow, Serve, Learn) calls to reading books together as an organization. Carmine discusses his powerful ten-three-one business planning framework and how he challenged 50 advisors in Greenville to compress their 10-year vision into a 3-year milestone, forcing elimination and pathway clarity.

Daren and Carmine discuss:

• Weekly GSL calls to keep teams grounded in growth, service, and learning goals across dispersed offices
• Reading books as an organization to create shared language and reinforce cultural values
• The ten-three-one business planning framework and why the 3-year milestone is where the real work happens
• How compressing timelines from 10 years to 3 years forces the elimination of pathways that won’t achieve 10X results
• Why detachment and thinking time are essential for breakthroughs, not endless desk work
• And more!
