In this episode, Chris talks with Reza Mir, engineer and owner of Care Patrol, a service helping senior citizens and their families understand their care needs and options. Care Patrol comes from a place of personal experience. Reza lived through his grandmother’s illness and the incredible emotional and financial stress it brought to his mother and the rest of their family who suddenly became caretakers. When Reza eventually immigrated to the United States and began school, an academic advisor suggested Reza consider entrepreneurship. After working as an engineer for several medical device companies, Reza took his advice and built a business around senior care to help families like his own in times of need. Reza’s experience at a startup solidified his entrepreneurial backbone and his background in academia instilled a love for education that he imparts to every client. Reza always strives to help struggling families truly understand their options. Chris and Reza discuss preparing for business ownership, managing high stress, and the importance of building authentic relationships with the people you serve. “You need to focus and keep working hard to get the result. Keep flying the airplane. My instructor used to tell me: ‘focus on flying the airplane, don’t get distracted.’ It would be, focus, work hard, and the reward will come to you.” ~ Reza Mir Main takeaways Before starting a business, you must consider all of the risk factors and the unknown unknowns. Focus on value-first and consider taking an education-based approach to your business. The free value will reflect in your reviews, referrals, and customer loyalty. Education can be key to improving client value and easing your life as a business owner. Remember to keep a positive attitude and, of course, work hard. If you can stay focused on serving your clients, the rest will come to you.
