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

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.Chapters (00:00) Introduction(03:12) How Aaron’s entrepreneurship story really started(07:30) The shift into coaching and what changed during COVID(10:32) The $16K in the bank moment and leading through panic(15:21) Reactive versus strategic and why most pivots fail(19:21) The real rules of raising capital and when not to do it(29:56) The Phoenix reset and rebuilding faster the second time(36:32) Entrepreneurship is a sequence game(44:23) The six figure day and the responsibility behind it(52:08) Why most leaders cannot answer what they actually want(01:19:46) Vision as decision making and how teams stop relying on you(01:31:03) If he had to rebuild from zero: the 90 day planWhat is the next income or business level you say you want, but your mind still does not believe you are allowed to have?Subscribe for weekly episodes and interviews that reveal the true work behind business growth and the stories most people skip.Connect with Michael R HunterInstagram: https://instagram.com/michaelrhunterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelrhunterWebsite: https://michaelrhunter.comConnect with Aaron Website: https://living.vision/ X: https://x.com/AaronVelky Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaronvelky/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@aaronvelky Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaronvelky/ Let's make your brand impossible to ignore.
