How are you handling the rising cost of health care for your parents?

How can you talk to your mother & father about the rising costs of health care and senior living?

Should your parents age at home or in an assisted living facility?

This week, Shawn & George talk to Rachel Aguanno, owner of Home Care Assistance Tampa Bay. Rachel's company assists seniors to live at home. Rachel was a HUGE help to Shawn when his wife was in hospice at home at the end of 2023.

Specifically, we talk about:

• Care-giving as a side job;
• What a home care assistance company can or cannot do;
• Any tax breaks, insurance, government programs, or veteran benefits available to help pay for home health care;
• Hospice v. Home Health Care v Assisted Living;
• Expenses people don't think about; and
• other budget considerations.

Rachel can be reached at RAguanno@HomeCareAssistance.com or her website www.HomeCareAssistanceTampaBay.com.

When does an entrepreneur make time?

How can an entrepreneur work 27 hours a day?

How hard (or easy) is work-life balance?

On this week's episode, Shawn & George interview Tiffanie Kellog who today (if you're listening on the day of release) releases her FOURTH self-published book, The Entrepreneur's Guide to More Free Time. Tiffanie is the Sock-it-to-'em Success Strategist! Since 2005, Tiffanie has been revolutionizing entrepreneurs' paths, unlocking greater wealth, freedom, and joy! As the creator of "eTiffanies" — epiphanies inspired by Tiffanie — she is known for her signature socks (over 400 pairs!), a charming southern accent, and her unique ability to inspire and empower others. Whether delivering dynamic keynote presentations, training locally and globally (often virtually), writing her next book, or leading her More Abundant Entrepreneurs community, Tiffanie loves helping people create the life they desire.

With a passion for blending fun and strategy, Tiffanie helps her clients focus on achieving their goals while loving the journey. Her secret to success? Loving what she does so much that no one can tell if she's working or playing!

Are you ready to sock it to your challenges, make more money, save time, and have fun?

This is Tiffanie's seventh appearance on the podcast:

• Episode 381 (Talking about the no spend challenge)
• Episode 332 (Making time to crush your debt)
• Episode 242 (More money through masterminds)
• Episode 146 (13 months a year)
• Episode 76 (Referrals for Life)
• Episode 48 (Knock your socks off Speaking)

Now Tiffanie is working on time management, or priority management, and how you can avoid BSO (Bright Shiney Objects) in your day. And rather than Work/Life balance, we focus on Harmony or being "Off Balance On Purpose."

You can get your copy of Tiffanie's new book or her previous three books at www.TiffanieKellog.com. And, Tiffanie is giving all of our listeners a free gift by going to this link: https://moreabundantentrepreneurs.com/moretime
