This year, I had the opportunity to assist two remarkable individuals in starting their businesses, leveraging my experience since founding Contemplative Caregiver in 2017.

GreatfulGert LLC

My brother, Simon, a talented voice actor and the creative force behind several YouTube channels, launched GreatfulGert LLC. His venture delves into the realm of digital content creation, where his unique voice and creative storytelling come to life. Guiding Simon, I shared insights on the growth process, emphasizing the importance of aligning his visions to the dynamic digital marketplace of voice acting. We navigated the intricacies of establishing an online presence, focusing on branding and audience engagement strategies that I had learned over the years. He’s also the best first person shooter gamer I’ve ever had the honor to constantly lose against.

Anata Oasis LLC

For my dear friend Devi, the journey was about bringing her passion for mindfulness and healing into a structured business model with Anata Oasis LLC. Devi’s work centers on providing mindfulness, breathwork, and singing bowl sessions, primarily to first responders and education systems in Indianapolis. Drawing from my journey with Contemplative Caregiver, I advised Devi on the nuances of working within institutional frameworks, highlighting the need for tailored approaches to different audience needs. We discussed the value of clear communication and the impact of compassionate service, which are essential in her field.

For both Simon and Devi, the process involved practical steps like filing with the state to form their companies officially. I guided them through the bureaucratic aspects, sharing shortcuts and lessons learned from my experience. We navigated the paperwork, legalities, and financial planning necessary for a solid business foundation.

Throughout this journey, I emphasized the importance of adaptability, resilience, and staying true to one’s vision. Watching Simon and Devi grow their ventures, I’m reminded of the early days of Contemplative Caregiver and how each challenge shaped the business into what it is today. Their journeys, filled with passion and dedication, are a testament to the power of clear vision and perseverance in the entrepreneurial world.

Please support their work!
