Are you paying attention to what's really important? We spend our lives hustling daily to make money, and at times we neglect the thing that brings us the most joy and fulfillment. Money can buy us many things, but without connection and authentic relationships, happiness will always seem out of reach. Aaron T. Walker was a successful businessman, who spent most of his time making money. At the young age of 27, he sold his first business to a Fortune 500 company. But one day Aaron arrived home with his pockets full of money and a house full of strangers. That was the day he almost lost his family. Aaron soon realized that his relationships needed to take priority and took action. “If you make relationships paramount, the money will come as a result of pouring into other people.” – Aaron Walker Aaron has inspired many through his leadership, mentorship, and consistent pursuit of excellence. He has even founded more than a dozen other companies over the past 41 years, including Iron Sharpens Iron and The Mastermind Playbook. Today, Aaron continues to reach new heights and broaden his perspective of the terrain by examining his experiences and growing from them. On this episode of the #IAmMovement podcast, Aaron and I discuss how a mastermind group can escalate your success, the key component to living a fulfilled life, and why isolation is the enemy to excellence

Today Aaron spends the majority of his time HELPING MEN GROW IN SUCCESS AND SIGNIFICANCE as President and Founder of VIEW FROM THE TOP, A PREMIER life and business coaching RESOURCE. A Little Of Aaron's Story As He Tells It: At 13 years old, he started working in his dad's pawn shop. He realized at 15 years old, it was what he wanted to run as his life's career. Taking night classes and summer classes, he graduated early so he could work. He bought his forth store at 26 years old, and sold to a Fortune 500 company at 27 years old. He was an early business bloomer! The lack of mentors, however, sent him into a spiral of confusion and disconnectedness after selling his business at such a young age. In 2001, Aaron hit a pedestrian who ran out in front of him, and tragically, that gentleman passed away three days later. It was a turning point in Aaron's life, and he needed to take a step back. Aaron regrouped, went into construction, and then began coaching. He started “A View From the Top” a few years ago, and coaches and mentors men from all over. He loves coaching men live intentionally and on purpose, and having the life God has created for them.

Aaron Walker - Business Man and Life Coach Aaron Walker is a native Nashvillian in Tennesse and has been there for 55 years. He started out at 13 years old working for a local pawn shop. At the ripe age of 18, he convinced a couple guys that had plenty of money to partner with him to start their own store. At 21 they bought their second store, 25 their third store and at age 26 they purchased their fourth store. Cash America in Ft. Worth, Texas was a fortune 500 company was going through acquisitions and made an offer to Aaron that he just couldn't refuse. Just 27 years old, Aaron retired from the Pawn Shop business. At first he thought this was going to be great; however, after 18 months and 50 lbs heavier, Aaron got bored and depressed. His wife told him that he needed to do something so he went back into the pawn shop he started with. During the next ten years, Aaron quadrupled business at the pawn shop. Aaron's life changed forever on August 1, 2001. He was on his way to work early in the morning. A pedestrian was crossing the street and didn't look where he was going. Unfortuneatley, Aaron hit the pedestrian and he didn't make it. He lived for three days in the hospital, but the extent of his injuries was just too much. This really rocked Aaron's world. He went back to the office and told his partner he was done. He told his partner that he had been chasing money all his life, had done very well finanically, but he needed to take a break. How Did Aaron Walker Get into His Life Coaching Career? Aaron took the next five years off. He built a new home and traveled extensively. His wife Robin was very supportive through this process because the life-altering incident that occured wasn't something Aaron was going to get over in a couple months. For the third time, Robin woke him up from a nap and said "Your getting fat again. It's time to get back to work". Growing from Success to Significance is a big theme of mine. It's important for everyone in all areas of life: Business, Personal and Spiritual. - Aaron T. Walker Aaron went into the construction industry. The guy that built Aaron's house was a great guy and so Aaron decided to partner with him. Using his expertise in sales and marketing, Aaron grew the business to the #1 builder three consecutive years in a row in middle Tennessee. When Aaron turned 50, he retired from the construction business. He thought he was finally done with work, finally. His good friends Dave Ramsey and Dan Miller that he has been in a mastermind with for over two decades told him that he needed to start coaching. Aaron had so much experience in business and he was married for 30+ years. He was in a great position to help other guys become successful. Now he has national and international clients where he gets to help ordinary men become extraordinary each and every day.

On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Aaron T. Walker, who is a businessman and life coach who has inspired many through his leadership, mentorship, and consistent pursuit of excellence. After 35 years of entrepreneurship and marriage, Aaron believes experience is a great teacher and has examined and grown from them. In this podcast, Jessica and Aaron discuss winning at home, as well as winning in the office.    Main Questions Asked: Why did you decide to put 35 years of marriage in your bio? Talk about coaching a male only mastermind group. What are some of the most common things that hold men back from growing their businesses and growing personally?  What do you mean when you say you help men to discover their identity?   Key Lessons Learned: If we make money at the expense of our families, then we have failed.  When your relationships are strong, your business grows.  Most men are ‘sprinters' in business, but Aaron teaches them to be ‘marathon' runners to stay in the game longer.  Motivation is an exhaustible resource, but what really works is a well thought out plan.    Fear and Failing  Fear is what holds men back, as they just don't want to fail.  Aaron's life mantra is that he fears missing an opportunity more than he fears failure.  Failing is in “not trying” and not necessarily in “not succeeding.”    Identity & Personal Assessment  Aaron has created a ‘personal assessment' form where he discovers a person's identity, including skill sets and abilities.  Don't tie your identity into your career, as one day it will be gone and your identity will be as well.  If you have no relationships, then you have no business.  When men introduce themselves, the first thing they generally ask is, “What do you do?” Whereas, women often ask if someone is married and if they have children. You must identify your ideals and things in life you want to accomplish. This includes goals and personal ideals.   We all have physical, emotional, and financial needs so Aaron offers a detailed plan to find out your needs.  Work is a tool to provide income but it is not your life. Family and friends are your life.   What Do You Want? Most people don't actually know what they want and live every day reactively rather than proactively.  You can't live on purpose; you need to live intentionally so there is a need to establish goals and dreams.  Aaron's discovery questions seem elementary until you try and answer questions such as, “If you were to wake up tomorrow morning and there were no limitations geographically or financially, what would you do with your life?” A dream is something we think about but a goal has metrics and is measurable.  A lot of the time we miss opportunities in teaching children to participate in activities that have meaning for our lives.    Steps to a Productive Day  The third of Aaron's documents that gives you a chance to practically apply the lessons learned. This has 30 line items, and is a ‘to do list on steroids' that maps out your entire day.    Subscribe to the show in iTunes or Stitcher Radio!   The music in today's episode was written by The Danger Os and produced by Nick Palmer.

We need to create an environment for others to empower themselves."  Charles Weathers Have a mastermind/accountability group to encourage and lift you up in good and bad times. "Embrace the tension, because it's not going to go away." When you are struggling, go to the Scripture, pray, or get people around you that can lift you up and provide help.  "We are the sum total of the people we hang out with and the books we read." Be careful who you ask for advice from. Intentionally build relationships everyday. Build long-term relationships and more relationships more often. Take plenty of time to pick and hire a new team member. "Cant couldn't do it and could did it all."
