Meet ELEVATE Entrepreneur, Christian Dubois, owner and operator of DASH Concierge Service in St. Paul, Alberta.
Christian started this business because he likes to drive and saw a need in the seniors’ and disability communities in St. Paul for this type of service. He became an entrepreneur because he can “control his hours and trips. Always wanted to work for myself.”
Christian has had to overcome some hurdles by hearing other people say that starting a business would be tough and that a lot of people fail. He has overcome though and is proving every day that he can do things that no one ever expected he could. His business is thriving and it that includes shuttling people to appointments (medical, errands, airport) in Edmonton, Cold Lake, Lloydminster. He also offers hot shot, house supervising during vacation and many more customizable services.
When asked what advice he would give to other people with disabilities who are interested in starting their own business, Christian says “if you have an idea and it’s stuck in your head….it is a good idea to pursue it.”
