In the six years that Business Support Solutions has been serving business owners, they have found that the clients that they enjoy working with best are those individuals that are “high achievers.†They are the entrepreneurs who are among the best, if not the best, in their field.
High achievement is hiding in many of us. However, high achievers have learned the skills and have the drive that catapults them to the top. However, they have not gotten where they are without learning a few lessons.
Our mission is to provide you a forum to find out how high achievers got there and the lessons that they learned along the climb up.
Laura Carr is a native of Oklahoma City, OK and a proud graduate of the University of Oklahoma. She is well traveled having lived in Oklahoma City, Houston, San Diego, San Francisco (twice) and Dallas (twice). Like many of us, Laura entered the senior services industry after she was affected on a personal level when her father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. In 1995, Laura moved from San Francisco to Oklahoma to help her parents navigate the confusing waters of Medicare, Veteran’s Benefits and other resources. Through this personal experience (“nightmare” as she calls it) Laura recognized that there is a great need for people to help seniors find options for care.
Today, Laura provides durable medical equipment and helps seniors take advantage of the state’s Senior Telecommunications Assistance Program, which provides free phones for those that have a sight or hearing impairment. Laura is also the Senior Services Liaison for her church, Skillman Church of Christ.
