Recommendation

If working 80-hour weeks in a quest for financial independence is your idea of entrepreneurship, you’ve got plenty of company. Steve Chou thought that way until he came to his senses. Chou and his wife and business partner, Jen Chou, started turning a profit right after they launched BumblebeeLinens.com years ago. They eventually realized that the business was swallowing them. Tensions ran high, and their family life suffered. Steve describes how he and Jen re-ordered their priorities, attained financial success and made time to pursue their life goals.

Take-Aways

  • Entrepreneurial success can be wonderful, stressful or both; be careful what you wish for and how you handle what you get.
  • Hunger for wealth can stand in the way of fulfilling your priorities.
  • Your abilities and strengths should define your direction.
