Accepting that debt could benefit his business is a financial mindset shift that Chi Yiu made during his journey in entrepreneurship. Being afraid of failure and not wanting to be in a position to be fired from a job are powerful motivators to exploring different approaches to making your business successful. Chi founded Wood + Water Studio in 2018 and has since become a champion of affordable housing solutions that meet the present-day needs of the Triangle community. A former East Carolina University student turned kitchen and bath remodeling company owner, Chi has created a business from his passion, rather than running from it (as he did for quite some time). Our conversation revealed his love for mentorship, relationship development, design, and lifelong learning. I can’t wait for you to learn why he started his business, the challenges he overcame in managing a team, and what’s next on the horizon for Wood + Water.
