EP056: $100k Profit in the First Year of Business with Steve Chou

Steve Chou is one of the most brilliant guys I know.

I met Steve at a conference a few years ago and I have been impressed ever since. This guy is the epitome of hard work meeting opportunity and then combining it with extremely high-level thinking.

I asked Steve to come on the show to share his story of working a 9am-5pm job as an engineer while at the same time generating $100k profit in his ecommerce “side hustle” within his first year in business!

Fast forward to today, and Steve is now generating 7 figures inside both his ecommerce store AND his now very popular blog - “My Wife Quit Her Job”.

Bonus: Out of all the guests we have had on this show so far, Steve was the first to share why or why not you should either start an ecommerce store (selling physical products over the internet) or start a blog like he also did and the why behind each piece of advice. Listening to Steve’s answer was my favorite takeaway of the interview.

Behind the scenes: Steve and I have played basketball together before and he definitely has some skills on the court. However, just one week before this recording he tore his achilles tendon playing hoop and still agreed to do interview while completely laid up and even in some mild pain.
