Do Not Raise Capital Until You Pass This Test with Aaron Velky | EP 6


Listen Later

Your life can be falling apart while your business is still asking you to lead. Aaron Velky is the founder of Living Vision and a coach to 7 and 8 figure leaders who want a clearer vision, stronger execution, and a business that supports their life. In this episode, Aaron explains why he “dropped all the plates” and kept only three priorities, the hidden rules of raising capital, and why entrepreneurship is a sequencing game where most people try to do step four before step one. He also breaks down how he rebuilt by going all in on relationships, how a single hour on stage produced six figures in business, and why bigger numbers always demand bigger responsibility. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or out of order, this will give you a cleaner sequence and a more honest way forward.
