Welcome back to another episode of Let’s Talk Business with The Coaching Network!
This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Danielle Tuason, Managing Owner of Seniors Helping Seniors Orange. Our conversation was a powerful reminder that when your business is rooted in purpose, it doesn’t just serve others—it transforms lives, including your own.
Whether you’re just getting started or figuring out how to grow without burning out, Danielle’s story offers insight, inspiration, and real-world wisdom for purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
🌟 Purpose Isn’t Just a Buzzword—it’s the Foundation
Danielle’s caregiving business was inspired by her Filipino heritage and a deeply personal journey with her late father-in-law, Alo. His legacy of kindness and laughter lives on in the people she hires and serves.
This isn’t just a business—it’s a mission to connect older adults with mature caregivers who understand them, care deeply, and create genuine friendships.
“We look for people who bring joy to strangers—just like Alo did.”
💬 You Don’t Need All the Answers to Start
Danielle shared a truth we all need to hear more often:
“It’s okay not to know everything.”
So many entrepreneurs wait for the “perfect” plan before making a move. But the reality? Growth happens when you do something, reflect, adjust, and grow. That first step doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be yours.
⚖️ Balance Isn’t One and Done—it’s a Daily Practice
One of Danielle’s biggest challenges is a familiar one: showing up fully without sacrificing your own wellbeing. She reminds us that as business owners, we are our business’s biggest asset—and that means protecting our energy, asking for help, and setting boundaries.
“You can’t give from an empty cup.”
It’s not a box you check off once—it’s something you work at daily.
📘 Systems Set You Free
Danielle’s go-to resource? The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber.
This book helped her understand that you can’t do it all, and you shouldn’t try. Business owners need to create repeatable systems so they can step out of the day-to-day and focus on what truly matters.
“If it still takes the same energy months from now, that’s a sign we need a better system.”
🎨 Creativity Isn’t a Distraction—It’s Fuel
When Danielle needs to recharge, she turns to music, poetry, and creative writing. It’s her reminder that rest and joy are just as important as hustle.
“We all need something that’s just for us. It helps us show up as our best selves.”
