Book Cover & Preview Text
Smart business owners stay focused on finding new ways to improve customer relations and expand their return on investment. As the adult child caregiver for your parents or other family member, our suggestion is that you repack your briefcase starting with a serious business plan and do exactly the same thing an entrepreneur does ... create a customized big vision of this commitment. Develop it with short term and long term outcomes. While it is created with the end result in mind, a passion-filled, detailed-driven “start up” is where to begin. The design you create should start with an analysis of the existing relationship you have with your parents. A healthy and respectful family role will help you more effectively connect or coddle the person for whom you provide care. If that role needs some polishing or if you must “play the cards you have been given” and that relationship is not so great, this plan can also help you grow as a person. It can elevate your opportunities to value your work and yourself. What an extraordinary time in your life and the life of your loved one!
