Take a very smart, results oriented, self-starter add a new baby and an MBA and what do you get? An entrepreneur…in this case, two: Angel & Linwood Carter. Angel wanted time for her baby. And she wanted to leave a legacy for him. And she wanted to feel like she was having a positive impact on the community. In other words, she wanted it all. And her corporate job just wasn’t fitting that bill. So in true, efficient form, she had started to evaluate her options…as part of her last MBA project. A past client of mine had suggested that she and I speak.
Angel is one of those people who is working on a million things at a time and doing all of them well. She seems to thrive on juggling many activities. When she started to think about her options though, it was a challenge to know where to start…in her words, “Before [coming to The Entrepreneur's Source], I felt like I was at a business buffet with no utensils and therefore unable to make a good choice. Now, I have the tools in place to make a sound, viable and informed decision.”
Angel thoroughly evaluated her options and through this process found that Homewatch Caregivers, a home healthcare business, was a great fit for both her personal and professional goals. Her husband, Linwood, had the perfect background from the staffing industry, to handle all of the day-to-day operations. So for the time being Angel has kept her corporate job. Angel and Linwood started Homewatch in August of 2005.
Here’s what they say about it today: “Homewatch Caregivers affords us the opportunity to serve others in an extremely important capacity. The fulfillment of our purpose and our spiritual values are tied directly to the success of our business and because of that, our passion for service exceeds all expectations. We never miss an opportunity to love our clients!”
