Denise Brown took her caregiving experience and turned it into a business — one that trains other caregivers to turn their own experiences into a business. Graduates of The Caregiving Years Training Academy have turned the business of caregiving into careers in speaking, coaching mentoring, leading support groups, and many other things.
The business of caregiving is set to increase, because the need for caregivers is increasing. This is due to our aging population, growing health risks and healthcare disparity, as well as the ongoing shortage of healthcare workers of all types.
And those caregivers will need help and support as well, leading to lots of business opportunities. There are and will continue to be plenty of opportunities to create valuable businesses, but also provide meaningful help and support to others.
Denise shares with The Savvy Entrepreneur some of the many challenges of being a caregiver, as well as the challenges of being an entrepreneur. Hers is a meaningful and heartfelt startup journey.
