Ep87 Aaron Walker - Building a Business That Transforms Lives

🚀 The Mastermind Movement: Transforming Lives and Businesses Worldwide 🌎

Author, speaker, coach, business owner, and family man Aaron Walker is on the show today.

If you don't yet know "Big A", well you're in for a treat.

From a first meeting and mastermind with Dave Ramsey, Aaron's trajectory in life was forever shifted and led him to the massive impact he's had today on hundreds of men's lives (and their families).

He was encouraged by a mastermind member to start coaching, which he fell in love with. This led to podcast interviews and eventually the formation of mastermind groups, which have grown to include participants from around the world. Aaron emphasizes the transformative power of these mastermind groups in people's lives.

He also touches on the distinction between coaching as a high-paying job and building a business that can generate income even when you're not actively involved, highlighting the importance of creating an asset for the future.

Throughout the conversation, Aaron emphasizes the significance of surrounding oneself with trusted advisers and being part of a supportive community, emphasizing the value of vulnerability and transparency in building strong relationships.

Aaron goes on to discuss how he got involved in hosting mastermind groups and the growth of his mastermind community:

1. Aaron Walker started doing podcast interviews to share his story and was featured on John Lee Dumas's "Entrepreneur on Fire" podcast. This led to 15 one-on-one coaching clients after the first episode aired.

2. Despite initially not wanting to start a mastermind, Aaron started one and eventually expanded it due to high demand. The mastermind groups have grown over the years.

3. The mastermind framework focuses on sharing personal and professional goals in areas such as relationships, personal development, professional growth, spirituality, and physical health. They use a digital accountability tool to track progress.

4. Members in these groups hold each other accountable, which leads to the adjustment of goals as they achieve more than expected.

5. They have also developed a Success and Significance Scorecard to measure progress in all five areas of life.

6. Aaron emphasizes the importance of building a community, cross-pollinating between groups, and leveraging the relationships within the mastermind for networking and collaboration.

7. The community includes members from different countries and backgrounds, creating a diverse and supportive environment.

8. Aaron and his team have created resources, including a Mastermind Playbook, to help others build and scale their own mastermind groups. They emphasize sharing knowledge rather than hoarding it.

9. The interview touches on Aaron's faith and his commitment to personal and professional growth within a supportive community.

10. The interview concludes with an invitation for interested individuals to visit their website and apply to join their mastermind community.
