Don’t Allow Fear To Stop You!

I don’t know about you, however, fear has been my #1 enemy on my Business Journey.

Please allow me to share a brief story with you: In 2002, I almost allowed fear to stop me from going back to school to further my early childhood education.  In fact, going back to school to further my education was one of the best decisions that I made in my lifetime. At that time, the local community college was offering free early childhood education through a program called: Child Care Field base (where the instructor came to my home).

I can remember the first day of my field base college class, my instructor was knocking on the door and all of the sudden, I became fearful to start the class. So, I pretended that I did not hear her knocking at the door.

Now I know that sounds crazy, but that’s how fear can paralyze you from reaching your goals or living your dreams.

Eventually I let her in and 10 years later I have over 30 college credit hours in early childhood education along with a Business Degree that I completed in 2010.

I shared my story with you to say this: If you have a dream to expand or start a child care business, the only thing that is stopping you is you!

Fear is only a thought and it is also a choice. I once heard Joyce Meyers say this, “sometimes you have to do it afraid!”

Moreover, having a mentor only increased my knowledge, my faith in my self and it empowered me to grow my Child Care Business.

In fact, mentor ship ship has empowered me  to

  • Transition from only having a high school diploma-
  • To having a College Degree
  • To expanding from a Family Home Child Care Business
  • To  becoming a Center Owner and now a Mentor!

If you are feeling stuck and afraid to move forward and you know that its time for you to grow, contact me today for a coaching or mentoring session!

To your success,

Do You Have Dreams of Expanding Your Child Care Business?

expansion

After five years of operating my Child Care Business from my home, I wanted something bigger. In fact, I knew that I was destined to do business on a larger scale.

So I decided read books on how to Operate a Child Care Center and I studied major childcare chains such as Kinder Care and Lapetite Academy.  In fact, my mind was on one thing in 2002….Expanding!

One day my mother and I were out shopping and we saw an empty building that was formerly a Child Care center.

I literally backed up on a very busy street to write down the phone number that was on the sign in front of the building.

To make a long story short…Within 6 months of signing a lease, I was preparing to move into my first Child Care Center.
