Inspirational and Empowering Child Care Business Owners To Build Successful Child Care Businesses

Finding Inspiration Through Business Journaling

11 15 22

I began business Journaling back in 2003. In fact, business Journaling forced me to reflect and put my thoughts on paper. Back in 2003, I was a new center Owner /Director and I struggled with leading my staff. Most of all, I had many stressful days.

As I grew as a leader, I would journal about my progress and periodically look back over my business Journals to see how far I had come in business.

The day before I wrote this blog post, I was feeling uninspired and blah. So, I began to look through my business Journals to find some inspiration. I am so happy and inspired today because of a prayer that I wrote in one of my business Journals from 2006.

In 2006, the center was struggling financially, and I was ready to quit. However, on that particular day, I found the courage to keep going and I wrote a prayer that I believe moved the business into a realm of growth and increase.

Seeing that prayer motivated me and I was truly inspired to share that inspiration with you!

I shared this post to say this, your business will only move in the direction of the words that you speak and the prayers that you pray. Furthermore, I want to challenge you to find the time to Journal, because Journaling just may inspire your next business decision!

Also, I want to encourage you to finish the year strong by Journaling about this year. Here are a few examples:

  • Journal about your successes
  • Journal about any failures and what your learned from the failures
  • Write down your goals and aspirations for the upcoming business year.
  • Write a prayer for your business from your heart.

Much Success to Your,

Do you have enrollment slots that need to be filled? Have you set a goal to enroll more children by a set date? If so, I want to show you how to reach your enrollment building goals?

When I moved into my new location on December 2014, the building was licensed for 99 children and I only had 25 children on my opening day. To make a long story short, by the spring of 2015; I had over 85 children enrolled!

Want to find out how I did it? I want to share with you 5 easy ways to reach your enrollment goals:

  1. Get a dry erase board and post your enrollment goals. When you can see your goals, it motivates you to stay focused. Focus is the key to Success!!
  2. Post pictures of the children engaging in educational activities. You don’t have to announce that you have openings on Facebook: Simply market what you are doing in your program and you will entice new families to Check you out
  3. Tell Parents you have openings. If your parents are happy with your services, they will tell other parents about you. ** Be sure to offer a referral incentive.
  4. Follow-up with parents that call you or that have stopped by your facility. Set aside everyday just to do follow-up! You will be surprised at how many parents are delighted that you took the time to call.
  5. Get those enrollment packets ready. In fact, your expectation will attract what you desire. So, get prepared for the increase that is about to come your way!

It’s time to get to work and don’t stop until you reach your goals! Be sure to Check out my Marketing 101 toolkit!
