Starting a Business from Home

When we had Joe from Stacking Benjamins on last week, he mentioned that cutting back on expenses can only go so far. Earning more can be a powerful way to speed up your goals.

This week we’re having Steve Chou, founder of My Wife Quit Her Job, discuss, well….how his wife was able to quit her job. Not only was she unhappy with her career, she knew that we wanted to be a stay at home mom.

She also wanted to make sure the family’s finances would be able to handle the shift.

In this episode we get into:

testing the waters before launching a business
how to manage a business while you’re still working full-time
resources you can use to make this leap

Hope you enjoy!
