Welcome to The Private Money Show with Jay Conner, where we cut through the noise to give you the truth about real estate investing—and the tools you need to succeed.

Building Success on LinkedIn: Scott Aaron’s Inspiring Story of Resilience and Growth
In the latest episode of Raising Private Money with Jay Conner, our esteemed guest Scott Aaron, a seasoned entrepreneur and LinkedIn expert, shares his inspiring resilience journey and the transformative power of leveraging LinkedIn for business success. Scott’s story is a compelling testament to the power of mindset, community, and strategic action in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
The Art of Resiliency: Scott Aaron's Journey
Scott Aaron’s journey is not just about entrepreneurial success but about mastering the art of resilience. Jay Conner introduces Scott’s story, noting his initial triumph in selling his first business for a million dollars and his subsequent challenges, including facing a multimillion-dollar liability debt. Despite these setbacks, Scott never viewed them as failures but as the foundations of his comeback story.
Growing up, Scott was thrust into leadership at a young age when his father, also an entrepreneur, was incarcerated. Taking over the family fitness business, Scott navigated significant personal and professional challenges. His father’s advice to be his person rather than trying to emulate someone else was pivotal in shaping Scott's resilient mindset.
Key Lessons in Overcoming Adversity
Scott emphasizes two key lessons from his experiences. Firstly, maintaining a positive outlook and focusing on solutions rather than problems. He believes that no matter what problem someone is facing, there is likely a solution for it. This mindset helped him to constantly find solutions and move forward.
Secondly, Scott highlights the importance of putting pride aside and not being afraid to ask for help. He recalls a crucial turning point when a friend’s question about his business sustainability prompted him to seek new opportunities. This openness to seeking help and learning from others was instrumental in his transition from the fitness industry to leveraging LinkedIn for professional growth.
LinkedIn: From Personal Struggle to Business Triumph
Scott’s shift to LinkedIn began out of necessity. Realizing that his in-person fitness training model wasn’t sustainable for a fulfilling family life, he sought ways to reach his clientele online. Identifying LinkedIn as the ideal platform, he started connecting with business professionals and, within six months, matched his in-person earnings through online coaching.
This success led to the realization that LinkedIn could solve a significant problem for others in his industry. Encouraged by a friend’s feedback, Scott developed a business model around teaching others his LinkedIn strategies, which has since grown into a thriving enterprise. Together with his wife, Scott now runs multiple companies, all leveraging the power of LinkedIn to enhance business growth.
Tips for Leveraging LinkedIn Effectively
Scott shares valuable insights on how to maximize LinkedIn for business growth. He emphasizes the importance of optimizing your LinkedIn profile with relevant keywords, professional descriptions, and showcasing testimonials. Here are some key takeaways:
- Profile Optimization: Ensure your LinkedIn profile is fully optimized with keywords that your ideal client or business partner might search for. This includes a detailed headline, a comprehensive about section, and a well-presented experience section.
- Networking Over Selling: Focus on building relationships rather than selling. Avoid spamming potential connections with generic, sales-focused messages. Personalize your communication to build genuine connections.
- Social Proof: Gather and display recommendations and testimonials on your profile. These serve as powerful social proof of your expertise and credibility.
- Continuous Engagement: Stay active by creating valuable content, engaging with your network’s posts, and consistently connecting with new potential clients or partners.
