Published: Aug. 22, 2016, 4:54 p.m.

My guest today is Aaron Walker, serial entrepreneur, life coach and owner of www.ViewFromTheTop.com. Aaron has started 8 businesses and now organizes Mastermind groups to help other entrepreneurs become more accountable, build their network and create a community of peers and trusted advisors. Aaron believes that the most important aspect of becoming successful is to build relationships where you can create a safe environment and become vulnerable and honest about when and where you need help. \n\nTopics covered in this episode include:\n\n\nYour \u201cNetwork is your net worth\u201d \nWhy every entrepreneur should take a serious look at joining a Mastermind group.\nHow Aaron\u2019s life changed after accidently killing a pedestrian\nHis perspective on why personal relationships, built on trust and vulnerability, are essential to being successful\nWhy \u201cpurposeful action\u201d is often the missing key to finding happiness\n\nAlthough he had already built and sold several multi-million businesses, he wasn\u2019t happy and had turned a bit complacent. After a lot of introspection, Aaron found that he was no longer living purposefully and decided it was time to build a new business, this time focused on purposeful action. \n\nAaron created www.ViewFromTheTop.com where he oranizes and hosts Mastermind Groups. If you aren\u2019t familiar with what a Mastermind Group is, this interview is for you. I haven\u2019t personally joined a Mastermind Group yet, but it\u2019s on the top of my priority list. \n\n\u201cStrength starts by admitting your weakness, faults and areas that you need help in. When we keep that veil up and we don't\u2019 want others to know that we are struggling in certain areas, what happens is that we don\u2019t get better. You are a fake.\u201d -Aaron Walker\n\nAaron ends the interview discussing how and why he decided to turn his life from success to significance and what type of legacy he wants to leave behind. His experience has lead him to one main conclusion, the most important things in life are the relationships that you cultivate along the way. Everything else is just details. \n\nPlease don\u2019t forget to Like, Comment, Share, Rate and Subscribe!\n\niTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/liberty-entrepreneurs/id1057809945?mt=2 \n\nYoutube: http://www.youtube.com/c/LibertyEntrepreneurs \n\n***BONUS VIDEO***\nI highly recommend spending 20 minutes to watch this TED Talk by Brene Brown.\n\nThe Power of Vulnerability | Brene Brown | TED Talks\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o \n\nIn Liberty,\nAshe\n\n\nContact Info and Resources: \nWebsite: www.viewfromthetop.com/liberty\nTwitter: @vftcoach\n\nAaron\u2019s 3 Free Guides - www.viewfromthetop.com/liberty \n25 Questions to get the life you want\nSteps to a Productive Day - To do list on steroids to help you become more productive.\nFree Personal Assessment\n\nInterview with Matt Miller (mentioned in this episode)\nhttp://libertyentrepreneurs.com/2016/07/le43-building-vending-machine-empire-w-matt-miller/
