Having never gone to college, Aaron learned everything in the school of hard knocks. After owning or co-owning more than twenty companies in the Pacific Northwest, Aaron has probably dealt with every problem a small business owner can face—from employee headaches, lack of profits, and lack of time to lack of enjoyment and lack of contribution. He founded Lifestyle Business Owner Academy and wrote The Lifestyle Business Owner to teach emerging entrepreneurs how to own a small business that generates a six-figure income, runs without the owner, and creates social good through the operations of the business. Over the last fifteen years, Aaron has mentored thousands of small business owners as a business broker, consultant, and coach. Through his seminars, videos, and online courses, Aaron inspires a new wave of entrepreneurs to become lifestyle business owners.
