It’s never easy to end a relationship, but that’s even harder to do when that relationship is a family member. In today’s episode Aaron Walker is going to share a story about a domineering mom that was driving her son and daughter-in-law nuts while causing chaos to reign in the family.
If you struggle with some boundaries with family members than this episode is for you.
We hope you enjoy the podcast. All the highlights, resources, and next steps can be found below. Listen to the full episode HERE and learn more at viewfromthetop.com.
Aaron shares a story about a man who is really struggling with his mother and how she is driving the family crazy. He knows if he goes to her it will cause division in the family and cause stress, but the man just can’t take it anymore. The mother does help with a number of things making it even more difficult.
“So his mastermind members kind of got around him virtually speaking and said you’ve got to confront her and he didn’t want to do it. He said he’s been dealing with it for 16 years and she was difficult as a teenager and young man and I just know how my mom is. But you are going to have to deal with her if you want any sense of peace in your own family.” - Aaron Walker
Aaron encourages you to deal with those relationships today that need to be dealt with even if they are family members. Do not allow them to rule or dictate your life. By allowing this you are affecting generations to come negatively.
“You can’t let somebody steal your joy and you can’t all them to dictate what is going to transpire in your life.” - Aaron Walker
Go to that person in prayer, never in anger so you can restore that relationship. Get people around you that hold you up and encourage you. Find people who are going to tell you the truth and look out for your well-being. Take the courage to deal with the relationship. Form strong boundaries, even with family members.
“Small minds talk about people, great minds talk about ideas.” - Aaron Walker

Up next you can hear Aaron Walker’s exclusive Iron Sharpens Iron expert interview with Profit First author, Mike Michalowicz as Mike shares how he turned everything around and goes deep teaching from his Profit First system.
We hope you enjoy the podcast. All the highlights, resources, and next steps can be found below. Listen to the full episode HERE and learn more at viewfromthetop.com.
Mike lost three multi-million dollar companies before his 35th birthday. He was awarded the New Jersey's Small Business Association, Young Entrepreneur of the Year when he was 26 years old. He sold his first company, to a private equity company and then his second company to a Fortune 500, so he's working his way up. Mike is a former small business columnist for the Wall Street Journal. His books have been translated in 10 different languages. He's an active partner in multiple companies including an American manufacturer of business growth consultancy and an augmented reality Tech Firm in a Certification Organization for accountants, bookkeepers and business coaches, and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
“The reality is, behind that was a lot of grand mistakes, horrible errors, almost losing my family, losing all my money, just really horrible stuff. I actually think that may be some interesting components and I suspect many people listening in have experienced those elements or just challenges.” - Mike Michalowicz
Mike is married, has three children and currently lives in a beautiful section of New Jersey. He was very successful and sold his second business for millions and started angel investing. Due to his investment choices, Mike had to share with his family that he had lost everything. They had to move, sell all of their possessions, no sports, horse riding lessons or after school activities, then his 9 year old daughter offered to support their family.
“She ran to her bedroom, grabbed her piggy bank, and she ran back down to me and said, Daddy, I'll support our family, don't worry. I'll support our family. And it was the most humbling moment of my life.” - Mike Michalowicz
Mike went through 2 years of depression, started boozing and found himself in a very dark place before he finally turned it around. Luckily for Mike he was able to climb out of the gutter. He is now a full time author and owns a few businesses. These days he is definitely living a life of both success and significance.
“I'm really writing books to fix all of my own erroneous ways and hopefully in the process of serving others to address their challenges too.” - Mike Michalowicz
Mike explains that we have been taught the formula to profit incorrectly. We have been taught that profit comes last, that profit is the bottom line. He suggests that we put profit first and use the formula sales minus profit equals expenses.
“All I care about is the deposit came in your business immediately take a predetermined percentage of that profit, allocate it toward an account called profit. We hide it from ourselves, we remove our profit. It's the pay yourself first principle apply to our business. And as a result, you start forcing profitability in your business.” - Mike Michalowicz
The members of Iron Sharpens Iron are quite spoiled because each month Aaron brings an expert in to speak to us regarding business, leadership, or life. These expert interviews are just one of the ways there is tremendous value in joining the mastermind.
“I don’t know about you, but Profit First has been a huge benefit to the finances in my business. It’s paid for some pretty great trips to the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Germany, and Zimbabwe. And my wife always wonders how we can afford it. I tell her the business! That’s because of profit first.” - Danny Bauer

In today’s podcast Aaron talks about two colleagues. One of them Dave was a trusted friend for years. The other Bob -- used to be a competitor and turned a friend. In addition to an abundant versus scarcity mindset, listeners will be reminded of the importance of relationships.
We hope you enjoy the podcast. All the highlights, resources, and next steps can be found below. Listen to the full episode HERE and learn more at viewfromthetop.com.
Competitors and Friends
Aaron talks about his business partner David and their competitor Bob. One might think they would be at odds but over the years, Aaron found Bob to be a very honest man. Aaron calls him a friend to this day.
Danny discusses the idea of playing a finite game where there are clear winners and losers. Aaron usually calls this game one of scarcity. When you play a finite game you can’t win unless your opponent loses. But the real game you need to play is infinite. This is the game of abundance. In an infinite game, everyone can win.
“During an infinite game there is no real start and finish no clear winners and losers.” - Danny Sunshine Bauer
Encourage Others
If you are struggling for ways to encourage and uplift others here are a few ideas:
All these steps will take less than 15 minutes, but the ROI is priceless.
In Summary
In this episode, the point is how Aaron is playing an infinite game. Danny says that Aaron has taught him that relationships are key to success and to do positive unexpected things for others frequently.
“In some respects there is no direct benefit for Aaron plugging Dave and Bob’s businesses. There are no affiliate deals. He doesn’t get a finder’s fee for someone that does business with them. So why do it? Because it’s uplifting. It’s encouraging. It’s good for relationships and it’s good for business.” - Danny Sunshine Bauer
Given two people in your community:
Who would you rather work with?
And that’s why Big A has experienced so much success in his life.
