The Freedom Framework Show

From $300K Corporate Job to Business Owner: The Real First Year | Aaron West


Listen Later

From generating $30M in revenue for someone else to building his own business portfolio, Aaron West shares his candid journey of leaving a $300K corporate salary to pursue entrepreneurship. In this episode, Aaron opens up about the realities of starting a flooring franchise from scratch, why he'd choose buying over building if he could do it again, and how he structured his transition to protect his family's lifestyle.

Get real, unfiltered insights about:
- Managing the emotional rollercoaster of negative cash flow
- Why starting a franchise isn't always the best path
- How to think about time vs. money trade-offs
- The importance of cash reserves when making the leap
- Building a business that gives you true time freedom

Aaron's story isn't just about leaving a high-paying job – it's about the strategic decisions, hard lessons, and ultimate freedom that comes from owning your time and building real wealth on your own terms.
