When entrepreneurs retire from their businesses, it doesn't always result in the freedom they imagined. In this episode, Tricia Wingerter shares why structure, teamwork, and purpose matter just as much after retirement—and how discovering your Unique Ability® and staying in contribution aren't just good for business, but for your mind, energy, and happiness too. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Why Tricia didn't see herself as an entrepreneur until joining Strategic Coach®.How Tricia unlocked the skills and confidence needed to hire the right people.What entrepreneurs might unintentionally give up when they step away from meaningful work.How a family illness inspired Tricia to purchase her Visiting Angels home care agency.Show Notes:The Strategic Coach® Program allows already ambitious people to become more ambitious. Choosing work you love and do best keeps your brain sharp, engaged, and full of energy. Spot someone doing outstanding work? Acknowledging and celebrating it is a sign of real leadership. Retirement doesn't have a set age or template—your path is your own. All of your problems, discouragements, and heartaches are great opportunities in disguise. When entrepreneurs stop growing and contributing, boredom sets in fast. Retirement often feels very different, and sometimes much emptier, than most entrepreneurs expect. Too much unstructured time can leave even the busiest people restless or blue. Discovering and honoring your Unique Ability® validates what you do best and brings energy back to your work. There's no rulebook for when or how to step back—keep growing as long as you want to grow. Structure, teamwork, and deadlines give meaning and momentum to day-to-day life, even after “retirement.” Staying focused in your Unique Ability isn't just good for your business, it keeps your mind fresh and your purpose strong. Fulfillment comes from contribution, not withdrawal. When you feel lost or bored, helping others and pursuing your mission can reignite your spark. Valuing your strengths, asking others for help, and building a team you trust makes leadership a richer, more collaborative adventure. There's no one way for entrepreneurs to age; finding purpose every day is the true marker of success. Resources:Unique Ability® How To Foster A Longevity Mindset & Reap The Benefits EOS® My Plan For Living To 156 by Dan Sullivan Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

In the latest episode of the Capitalist Investor podcast, hosts Derek, Luke, and Tony delved into the lucrative world of franchise investments. This episode provides a wealth of insight into different franchises and what makes them appealing from an investor's standpoint. Here are the five hot topics discussed:1. Crumble Cookies: A Sweet Success StoryThe conversation kicked off with a tasty discussion about Crumble Cookies. Luke recounted a fascinating encounter with an entrepreneur who built a mini-empire of Crumble Cookie franchises in Arizona and Utah, highlighting the chain's rapid growth and immense popularity. Despite its current saturation, it served as an example of how a well-timed, high-quality product can lead to substantial financial rewards.2. Senior Care Franchises: The Evergreen NeedTony provided a compelling case for investing in senior care franchises, such as Visiting Angels. With the aging baby boomer population, the demand for non-medical in-home care is skyrocketing. Tony emphasized that this sector could witness at least a 20 to 30-year growth trajectory, making it a stable and potentially lucrative investment. However, he also pointed out the challenges, particularly hiring qualified and compassionate staff.3. Fast Food Giants: The Alluring Consistency of Taco BellDerek made a strong argument for fast food franchises, specifically Taco Bell. He noted the universal appeal of Taco Bell, drawing patrons from diverse economic backgrounds. With an always-busy drive-through line, Derek sees Taco Bell as a reliable and consistent moneymaker. The discussion also touched on the effectiveness of using apps for maximizing customer engagement and loyalty, enhancing the franchise's profitability.4. Mental Health Services: Addressing a Growing CrisisThe hosts also touched upon the rising importance of mental health services. With increasing mental health challenges, especially among younger generations, investing in mental health franchises can be both profitable and socially impactful. These businesses are becoming more prevalent and are aimed at providing therapeutic and psychological support, which is increasingly in demand.5. Automotive Services: The Timeless Necessity of Oil ChangesTony brought attention to the enduring need for automotive services, like those offered by Take 5 Oil Change franchises. Despite the looming transition to electric vehicles (EVs), Tony believes the current fleet of gas-powered cars still provides a robust market for at least another decade. He acknowledged the potential challenge these businesses might face with the rise of EVs but suggested that they could pivot to offer mechanical services for electric vehicles.ConclusionThe latest episode of the Capitalist Investor podcast provided a comprehensive look at various franchise opportunities, each with its own set of advantages and challenges. Whether it's the sweet allure of Crumble Cookies, the essential service of senior care, the evergreen demand for fast food, the rising importance of mental health services, or the practical needs of automotive care, each option offers unique investment opportunities. As always, the hosts recommend doing thorough research and consulting with qualified professionals before making any significant financial commitments.Stay tuned to the Capitalist Investor for more insights into the dynamic world of investments and financial strategies.

Two out of every three people will need a higher level of care in the later years of life. Like your legal or financial planning, the sooner you become familiar with your care options, the better the outcome you will achieve. In this episode, Richard Ruda of Visiting Angels discusses the conversations to have with older adults, the types of home care, and questions to ask to make sure that a home care agency will deliver high-quality care.

I see you in the grocery store or out in the community. You're caring for a loved one whose health is complicated or deteriorating, maybe an elderly parent or medically-complex spouse or adult child, and you're exhausted. The daily grind is wearing on you. You need help, but you're not sure where to turn. My guest for this episode knows the landscape well. Rod Lane is the Owner and Executive Director of Visiting Angels in Springfield, Illinois. He shares his passion for home services, as well as helpful perspective about the support offered by Visiting Angels' caregivers. I ask Rod the questions you most want answered. What is the difference between home services, home health care and home hospice care? What supports do home services caregivers provide? How are needs assessed? What if my loved one isn't open to support from professional caregivers? How much do home services cost, and what resources might help with those expenses? How do I access services designed specifically to support U.S. military veterans? Where do I look online for home services care options? Rod also shares his thoughts on self-care for family caregivers, and a word of encouragement about mindset. I'm thrilled to share this conversation and resource information about Visiting Angels. Whether you live in the Central Illinois area or elsewhere, I believe it's important to know about resources that may lighten your load in the short term and help preserve your health for the long run.

One thing that struck us as we read classic novels is the many references to our heroines taking food to sick people. Today we revisit “invalid care,” and show how bookish stars such as Pollyanna and Jo March teach us how to become more thoughtful, compassionate, and supportive via food and drink to our friends and family today.Shownotes:Pollyanna, you're killing us here with this meat jelly thing! And Jo March–what on earth is blancmange and why did you bring it to Laurie?Today we tell you how to comfort like a heroine through food and drink, walking in the bouncy footsteps of Pollyanna, who never entered a sick room without bearing a quivering bowl of calf's foot jelly. We also compare Pollyanna with Anne of Green Gables (could Eleanor Porter have plagiarized our LMM?), and share our best tips for pulling together the most comforting care packages. Blancmange recipe: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/peach-bavarian/How do you care for sick and injured friends and family?

Welcome! As we are in the planning stages for the 90th birthday celebration for Gayle's mother, it brings up the experience that many people are having in assisting their aging parents. Caring for them and navigating through the available options can be challenging and emotional for all those involved. Join us for a conversation about these tough issues.

Chantal has worked in corporate America for over 25 years, currently focusing on supplier diversity at a large agricultural company.
