GIFTED 7 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DR. ERIC HOLMES
Tell us about yourself and your business.
I was born and raised in Harrisburg. I serve in Beth-el Temple Church. I am an ordained elder and I serve in several ministries. I am also a certified life coach, mental and behavioral health coach, and a 25-year essential healthcare worker at Johns Hopkins.
When did you know that business/entrepreneurship was something you would do?
As I was doing different assignments my purpose was already in me it just caught up to the timing and season of God and maturity.
Starting seems to be a very difficult part of entrepreneurship, how were you able to finance your business in the beginning?
Family support, family prayers, family love, and family encouragement will lead to success, and because I had that it was successful. It wasn’t that I wanted to give up, but it was some rough times; however, prayer, support, and God reminded me he was with me and kept me going.
