4 Keys To A Successful Child Care Business

One of my Business mentors is the Leadership Guru John Maxwell. Reading John Maxwell books, eNewsletters and listening to his audio files has empowered me to grow as a business leader, coach and a writer. Moreover, John Maxwell books has inspired many of my leadership post on this blog and was great inspiration for my  21-Day Master mind eClub.

Less than 24-hours Prior to writing this blog post, I was on a  Toast Masters Call With John Maxwell and thousands of toast master members. Shortly before the Q & A Section of the call, I heard John Maxwell describe the 4 -keys to a Successful business and I could hardly wait to share them with you:

1. Relate well with others

2 Equipping others

3. Having a Positive Attitude

4. Effectively Lead Others

I must say that I agree with John 100%  and I have learned the hard way that building relationships with your relationship with your parents and staff has a major effect on your business; in order for you to have a successful business you must learn to equip your staff; your attitude can either help your business or ruin it and according to John Maxwell, Everything rises and falls on your ability to lead and this is why it is vital that you grow as a Leader.

Keep in mind that John Maxwell is a Leadership Guru and he has been leading others for over 40 years. With that said, I think that we can trust that his 4-Keys to Success formula will work for you too!

To Your Success..

Are You Hiring?

At least once a day, I get a phone call from a potential applicant and the first question that the applicant asks me is: “Are You Hiring.” My standard procedure for calls like this is to forward the applicant to my website to complete my online employment application. I no longer allow applicants to stop by my facility to ask 10, 000 questions and fill out an employment application…TOO TIME CONSUMING!

According to Bcobs.Ca “Pre-screening job applicants allows employers to narrow down the pool of applicants to those who are the best fit for the position—without spending hours doing in-depth interviews. Anyone can look good on paper, but a thorough pre-screening can separate the most appropriate applicants from all the rest and enables employers to save the lengthy interview process for only the very best.”

Today I want to share with you 5 ways to professionally  screen potential applicants:

  1. Invite the applicant to fax or email a resume to you
  2. Review the resume for childcare experience and education
  3. Email the applicant to see if he or she is available to do a telephone interview with you
  4. After a 10-15 minute telephone interview, thank the applicant for his or her time
  5. If you feel that the applicant is the best person for the job, ask the applicant if her or she is available for a face-to face interview.

Interviewing and hiring new employees is very time-consuming, however, if you implement the 5-steps that are indicated above, you will save yourself some valuable time, during the screening process.

To Your Success,
