Part-Time Doesn’t Mean Easy | Moshe Bochner x Chaim Itzkowitz
Welcome back to CoFinance. In this episode, I sat down with Chaim Itzkowitz. We spoke about legacy. We spoke about part-time business. We spoke about family. And we spoke about books — the kind that keep everything grounded. This conversation goes deeper than business tactics. It’s about: • Building a family chain store from humble beginnings • Running a seasonal business that depends on unpredictable revenue • Balancing children, work, delegation, and identity • Understanding that bookkeeping is not optional • Knowing when to step back and let the team shine Growth looks exciting from the outside. Inside, it’s sacrifice. It’s delegation. It’s trust. It’s maturity. There is something powerful about building something with family. There is something powerful about letting go of control. There is something powerful about understanding that you are the bottleneck until you build a team. Business is not just revenue. It’s identity. It’s responsibility. It’s belonging. The real question is: Can you build something meaningful without losing yourself in the process?
