Taneli Tenhovuori: The current state of healthcare services and the right to live the way you want to live

Taneli started his career as a strategy consultant but quickly changed to follow his calling.
He founded Suomen Avustajapalvelut, which provides disability care nationwide in Finland. Today the company employs more than 500 care service professionals who are passionate about helping their customers to live their life to the fullest.
In this episode, Taneli provides us with great insight into the current and future state of healthcare services as we seem to move closer to a crisis.

The Top 5 key takeaways from his story:

1. You deserve to live the life you want to live, regardless of any physical or mental limitations that you might have.
2. Countries should have more discussions around the question if healthcare professionals are rewarded appropriately.
3. As an entrepreneur: try to differentiate - what brings value to your customer and what does not bring any value. That way you can focus on what is important and accelerate in those areas.
4. Look at the big trends in the word when thinking about your next business. Don´t get caught up in day-to-day life too much. Try to see what might happen during the next decades. Is there anything that you could provide, which provides value in the bigger picture
5. Don´t go overboard with taking risks but generally speaking, don´t be too risk-averse. Take (managed) risks!
