Vicki Daniel worked in financial services for over 20 years in a variety of technology roles. She had an opportunity to ‘be set free’ as she puts it and decided it was time for something entirely different, something fun, something on her own. She and I met when a co-worker suggested that she speak with me.
When I met with Vicki, she wanted to get away from the corporate bureaucracy. She wanted something of her own that she could grow. She also wanted self-fulfillment. In our conversations, we uncovered that she envisioned self-fulfillment coming from feeling like she was providing a service that was needed and that was helping others. Through our discovery process, College Nannies & Tutors seemed to fit many of Vicki’s goals. By offering customized nanny or tutor placement services, she would be able to provide a resource to the community that helps families grow stronger. She felt she would be proud to own it and she saw lots of growth potential. Best of all she thought it would be fulfilling and fun. Here’s what Vicki had to say about her experience with The Entrepreneur’s Source, “Working with The Entrepreneur’s Source was a great experience. The service cuts to the chase and I appreciated the coaching, the time invested by Robin and the continued follow up.”
As Vicki launches College Nannies & Tutors, here’s what she has to say about business ownership: “It is definitely true what they say about owning your own business – You work all the time. While that does seem the case, it’s hard for me not to be working. I always want to be finding that next customer or making another nanny/family match. So now I’m a matchmaker of sorts and it couldn’t be more fun! I love it. It’s hard work of course. Just like the “E-Myth Revisited” says, an entrepreneur must find time to work on the business even though it can be a full time effort working in the business. Totally worth it! I couldn’t be happier”.
College Nannies & Tutors provides full time, part time or on-call nanny services as well as in-home one- on-one customized tutoring. For more information, visit www.collegenannies.com or call 804-346-2242.
