Get Out of Your Own Way with Aaron Velky

In this episode I sit down with Brett Gilliland, founder of Elite Entrepreneurs, to unpack the strategies and mindset shifts that help business owners go from seven figures to eight—and beyond. Brett’s journey is unique. He didn’t set out to become an entrepreneur, but he found himself building a $100 million company and learning firsthand the grit and emotional fortitude it takes to scale a business. In this conversation, we dive deep into that emotional journey and the real-life challenges of growing a successful company.

Brett shares incredible insights on what it takes to become “elite,” why resilience is essential, and how to lead a business through tough times. We also talk about the dangers of constantly "moving the goalposts," the importance of celebrating milestones, and how to create a team culture that scales alongside your business. One of the most powerful themes we hit on is finding harmony between business growth and personal well-being—because what’s the point of building a great company if you’re burning yourself out in the process?
