Publisher's Summary

Most entrepreneurs start a business seeking freedom but end up in a prison of hundred-hour workweeks isolated from their loved ones. This book is a guide to do entrepreneurship differently—letting go of the hustle and embracing a family-first mindset instead.

We all want a comfortable life with plenty of time for family and friends. This vision is what inspired Steve Chou to strike out on his own over a decade ago. But what he found was a nonstop schedule of never-ending work that wore him and his family down.

The hallmarks of modern business are making people miserable and preventing them from enjoying life’s greatest gifts. Business owners get stuck on the hamster wheel of hustle only to end up burned out and looking for a better way.

For fifteen years, Steve Chou has run two successful seven-figure businesses in twenty hours a week or fewer, leaving plenty of time for family, friends, and leisure. In The Family-First Entrepreneur, he shares profound insights and practical advice on business and life, demonstrating that you can, in fact, pursue your dream without sacrificing what matters most.

Chou offers a series of simple principles that can guide every decision you make, helping you establish a solid foundation upon which you can build the life you’ve dreamed of while comfortably supporting those you love.

A life changing book. Must-read for entrepreneurs.

I consider this a must-read for aspiring and existing entrepreneurs of any age. While I wish I had it decades ago when I was still new to business, it's definitely still highly relevant and applicable for those that are already experienced entrepreneurs or business people in general.

I say this because Steve also goes into how he approaches and analyzes different business opportunities. He offers a framework for decision-making, and a different way to think about things that can help inspire you in your business and help you make better decisions (even if you're already running a business or two). I definitely got some great marketing ideas for my businesses after listening to his book as well.

Obviously this book is very much applicable and aimed for those that want a business and are aspiring to become entrepreneurs. But, I did want to say that the lessons learned from the book are also highly applicable to those with an interest in entrepreneurship at any age, whether experienced in business or not.

Thank you Steve for such a great contribution to the small-business/entrepreneurship community.
