The term “hustle” might be synonymous with “entrepreneur” for a lot of folks. And they might be interchangeable because it certainly does take hard work to get your own business off the ground, but it doesn’t have to mean giving up everything else that’s important to you along the way. Steve Chou is our guest today and he’s launched multiple businesses- everything from an eCommerce site, to an online course, to an annual conference, and he wants everyone to consider how they can achieve financial freedom by starting their own businesses… but not the kinds of businesses where growing, scaling, and maximizing revenue is the goal. Instead it’s all about discovering a business that works for your goals and your lifestyle, and that’s what Steve writes about in his book The Family First Entrepreneur. We discuss coming up with an idea for a business, having priorities other than work, transitioning away from a day job, what holds some folks back from getting started, and plenty more!
