Parents of special needs children NEED to create businesses!
Transcript
Parents of special needs children NEED to create businesses! And let me tell you why. Nobody is going to care more about your child than you, right? No one sees the issues in your community like you. You cannot rely on government, on school systems, on these different programs, on these grant funded things, whatever is going on to really give your child what they need as they get older, right? I feel that if every single autism parent took a moment to look around at the issues in their specific community, right? Not just the issues we see online, but the issues we see in our communities and find solutions to those problems, those are businesses. That is how you create businesses. And no, initially it's not going to be all about the money. It should not be all about the money, right? Eventually it'll get there. But I'm telling you all right now, you need to everything is being cut. So many resources, insurance, a lot of things are being cut for special needs kids. So it is up to the advocates and the parents and the caregivers of not only kids with autism, but kids with disabilities in general to fill those gaps. Don't stress about it. Don't complain about it. Yes, you can protest, advocate, all the things, but that stuff takes time, right? Complaining about government or school budgets or whatever online, that's great, that's amazing, but you need to be a solution based thinker. That is how I am. I've always been that way and that is the reason why I made my app, The Caribbean Note. That's one solution to a global problem, yes, but there's so many other problems and so many solutions that if you are listening to this, you as a parent, sit down, let ideas come to you, write a whole list. I'm not talking about stuff to just make yourself money. I'm not talking about creating cups, I'm not talking about creating things to sell or throwing even one time events, unless it's like just the message needs to get out there that community, this community needs to do for itself and it needs to start providing for itself, right? I don't know how, I hope this reaches the people it needs to, but I'm telling you, autism parents, special needs parents, there are multiple business ideas inside of your head. Take the time, write it down, figure it out and execute, okay? This needs to happen now, starting in 2026, because there's going to be a lot more children with disabilities, a lot more children with autism and the there's not going to be enough supply for the demand, okay? So we need to create solutions to our problems. Only you know those problems. So think about the problems, talk to your community, find solutions, okay? And if you haven't gotten on the waitlist for my app, you're going to want to do that. It comes out in a few weeks. It's called The Caribbean Note. Please DM me or click the link in my bio if it's clickable. I need a thousand followers for it to be clickable, so that'll take some time, maybe by next week, but it'll be clickable inside of the link in bio or just DM me. I will send you the waitlist link directly. I'm sending you all love and please, you need to create solutions together.
