019: How Failure Makes Us Better Investors, Leaders, and Parents with Aaron Amuchastegui

The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Today, I’m speaking with Aaron Amuchastegui. Over the last 10 years, Aaron has built multiple companies and websites, bought and sold over 700 houses across the United States, and helped take all sorts of ventures from broke to blessed.

I love Aaron because in addition to having a ton of successes, he’s had his fair share of failures, and he’s always been humble enough to talk openly about them. It makes him an amazing leader and a really captivating speaker, as well as a very honest investor who’s built a killer lifestyle for his family.

In this episode, Aaron shares the story of how he lost everything, rebuilt his finances on his terms, shifted his mindset and his values, and inspired his entrepreneurial family to carry them on.

Key Takeaways

• How failing to pay attention to his cash flow left Aaron with nothing despite having a million dollars saved in the bank.
• The mindset shifts that helped Aaron start thinking about the long term when it came to investing, well-being, and even his kids’ homework.
• Why there’s never been a better time to question the established systems of school, work, and retirement.
• The value of peer groups and mentors to help you rebuild yourself.
• How Aaron thinks about recurring revenue businesses - and why he’s currently so excited about software companies.
