Do you hate the concept of work-life balance? 

If you’re an entrepreneur, you probably do. Heck, I launched 4 companies in the past 2 years - I’m about as balanced as a peg-legged pirate 🏴‍☠️.

And yet, I’ve built 4 companies and set a personal record in my 10K run this year. Curious how I pull it off?

Canada’s Senior Care Boom: Investing in the Future of Aging 🏡

Canada’s senior care sector is rapidly growing, driven by an aging population and increasing life expectancy. As of 2023, the home healthcare market alone was valued at approximately $13.45 billion and is projected to reach $24.45 billion by 2030, with a strong annual growth rate of 8.3%. The industry includes everything from in-home caregiving services to full-service senior living facilities, catering to a wide range of care needs and preferences.

This market is also a significant economic contributor, providing jobs for thousands of Canadians and driving innovation in areas like telehealth, remote monitoring, and aging-in-place solutions. However, it’s not without challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted vulnerabilities in senior care, prompting stricter regulations, operational overhauls, and an increased focus on safety and health standards.

Despite these challenges, the sector’s growth trajectory shows no signs of slowing down, making it a lucrative area for investment, especially as seniors increasingly prefer tailored, high-quality care options.

TWEET LINKEDIN HIGHLIGHT

Who knew the real money move might be selling your business—then sticking around? Turns out, when business owners stop juggling everything and just focus on what they’re best at (like selling), they can bring in way more revenue. And when the Buyer is smart enough to keep them on board, everybody wins.

Moral of the story? If you’re buying a business, don’t underestimate the power of the Seller’s relationships. And if you’re selling, maybe don’t run for the hills just yet - your biggest payday might still be ahead! 💰

I know what you’re thinking, “that is a LinkedIn post, not a tweet like your normally share!” We thought we would make a slight change for this edition because this post was too good not to share.
