Accomplish Your Business Goals One Week At a Time!

Do you feel all over the place with your Business Goals? Are you trying to tackle too many goals at one time? Are you feeling over whelmed at the end of your day?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, this blog post is for you!

There are 52 weeks in a Business year and 168 hours in a week. You have plenty of time to accomplish your goals.

In this week’s blog post, I am going to share with  you, three ways to intentionally focus on and accomplish your Business Goals…. One week at a time.

  1. Buy a Yearly Planner and set a goal for each week that you are in Business. Be sure that you never start your Business week, without a plan or a goal to meet.
  2. Get a large piece of poster board and write your top priorities on that poster board. For Example, Your goals could be: Prepare for an upcoming fundraiser, prepare for a licensing visit, get prepared for accreditation, get organized, prepare for expansion,etc.
  3. Break your goals down into weekly tasks and focus on one goal at a time until the goal is accomplished. Some goals may take 2-4 weeks; other goals could take 60-90 days. However, if you break your goals down into weekly tasks, you will have more success.

Several years ago  I stumbled across this quote in a business  book: A Successful man focuses on one thing at a time and if you are everywhere you are going no where!

It’s time to make 2017 the year that you intentionally accomplish your Business goals.

Your Coach,

How to Build a Winning Child Care Team

staffThis blog post is an excerpt from my Director’s Handbook.

Creating a winning team is a vital part of providing quality child care care.

In fact, a winning team starts with having a great coach, “The Director.” You are the coach of the team and you call all the plays. When you fail to call plays, the team does not know which way to go.

It is your role to communicate with the team on a regular basis and make sure that all the players are doing their part on the team, because what one player does not do, affects the entire team.

Teamwork is birthed

When you concentrate on

“ We” instead of “me.”

~ John Maxwell
