How To Raise Your Level of Commitment and Turn-around Your Business

Going from a Wishful Business Owner to a Committed Business Owner…

When you opened your Child Care Business, did you make a commitment to stay no matter what? In fact, I believe it takes commitment in order to succeed in Business.

Furthermore, The dictionary defines being committed as: the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause or activity.

How dedicated are you, to the cause of your Business?

I believe that Business is like being in a marriage; it takes commitment and you must decide to stick with it.  If you are not truly committed to your Business, you could be hindering your Business Success and you are simply wasting your precious time.

Being Committed also means that you will give it your all and if you are not willing to give your Business your all, you will not reach your full potential.

Here  are 5 traits of an UN-Committed Business Owner:

  1. Lack of focus
  2. Give-up at the first sign of trouble
  3. Does not give your heart to the Business
  4. Not focused on improvement
  5. Not willing to sacrifice for the Business Success

If you find that you have not been truly committed to your Business and you really want your Business to be Successful, it’s not too late to improve your commitment level.

In fact, I believe that if you implement the 5 steps below, your level of commitment will increase and you will begin to see a turn around in your Business.

1. Make up your mind that you will not quit!(Winners don’t quit)

2. Get Focused and Be present when you are at your Business. (Nothing can stop a focused Business owner)

3. Pour your heart into your business. (Where your heart is, there will your treasure be also)

4. Create a plan to improve the areas of your Business that needs great improvement.

5. Be willing to sacrifice in order to turn your Business around. Is it television? Is it time with friends? Whatever, the sacrifice may be, you must be willing to sacrifice in order to go up another level.

Here are a few thoughts on the importance of Commitment:

Productivity is never an accident.
It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
~Paul J. Meyer

There’s no abiding success without commitment.~Tony Robbins

Unless commitment is made, there are only promises and hopes… but no plans.

~Peter Drucker

Be Flexible With Your Business Goals

Have you ever set a goal for your Business and did not reach it? Have your dreams been shattered by unforeseen situations and circumstances? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, this post was written exclusively for you.

In fact, If you set goals in the past and did not reach them, its OK. Goals are meant to give you a sense of purpose and direction in business. Furthermore, when you set goals, be flexible, because your plans could change as the needs in your community changes, without much warning.

In 2013, I noticed, that there was a great demand for infant/toddler care, but I was not willing to meet the need, because my desire was to have a preschool program and a before/after school program only.

Furthermore, my desire for only wanting preschoolers and school age children, was impacting my enrollment in a negative way; it was hurting my Business financially.

After getting 5-10 calls a week for infant/toddler care for an entire year,  I decided that it was time to alter my goals and meet the growing demand in my community.  My infant/toddler program will be opening by March 1, 2014!

As you can see, I was committed to my heart’s desire, yet I was willing to alter my goals in order to meet the needs in the community.

My Plan B- Find a Building that’s large enough for my Summer Camp, Preschoolers and Infants.

I want to challenge you to review your Business goals for the upcoming Business Year and answer the following questions:

  1. Are your goals realistic?
  2. Are your goals self -serving?
  3. Are your goals designed to meet the needs of your customers?
  4. Will your goals lead to Business growth?
  5. Are you willing to alter your goals?
  6. Are you trying to accomplish too much to fast?

In summary, when you develop the mindset that your Business is in existence to meet the need in the community; more families will come to you, because you will offer what they need.

However, if your Business is designed to meet your needs, you could be leaving money on the table.

My decision to add infant/toddler care, will cause my enrollment to be consistent 12 months a year and not just during the summer months. What’s Your Plan B?

I hope this post has inspired you to be flexible with your goals and build a Child Care Business That meets the demands in your community.

I look forward to your feedback. Leave your comments below.
