Summary
Running a business and leading a family can be such a challenging aspect of life. Both require so much time and attention and although similar in a lot of ways, the way you lead professionally is not always translatable into leading personally.
My guest today is Steve Chou, the author of The Family First Entrepreneur. Today, Steve and I talk about not being a stranger to your kids, practical strategies for avoiding burnout and unnecessary stress, whether you should stay at your current employment or "burn the boats" when starting a side business, and how side-hustles boost confidence! A lot of these things I wish I would have learned a whole lot sooner.
SHOW HIGHLIGHTS:
- The line between helping your kids and making them figure things out
- Building a business while not sacrificing the relationship with loved ones
- Being driven by ego vs being driven by service
- Knowing your purpose
- Ignorance contributing to Asian hate
- Everyone should have a side hustle
- Staying focused on one thing at a time
- Different approaches to outsourcing
- Weighing business opportunities against family time
- Getting your kids involved with the business
- Opportunities and drawbacks with AI
