The Child Care Business Owner Institute Celebrates 14 Years Online

In August 2010, I was inspired to start a blog titled, The Child Care Business Owner. I was inspired to blog about operating a childcare business seven years after opening my first childcare center.

As a new center owner, I struggled as a leader, and I was constantly overwhelmed with staff issues. In fact, the first 10 years of the journey was frustrating, and I was determined not to give up.

After struggling as a leader for several years, I decided to get a business mentor, and I read tons of leadership books. As I began to grow as a leader and invest in myself as a business owner, I was inspired to teach what I learned.

In fact, I wanted to help other childcare business owners to avoid the mistakes that I made in business, by sharing proven success strategies that I implemented in my center.

Over the course of fourteen years, I launched a coaching program, written 17 books, been invited to speak at childcare events and created digital products to inspire childcare business owners all over the world.

Today the blog has had over 450,000 hits online and has thousands of subscribers. The first five years of launching the blog, my biggest readers were home providers. Today my followers are mostly center owners or individuals seeking to start or grow a childcare business.

Furthermore, since I’ve launched this blog, I’ve expanded my childcare business four times including moving into a new city and operating multiple locations. Also, I’ve received an honorary doctorate degree from the Global International Alliance and that I’m so thankful to get such an honor.

My passion now is truly to inspire you to grow as a leader, business quality center and build the team of your dreams.

Moreover, In the past 14 years I have learned firsthand that when you grow as a leader, your business will grow!

I’m truly amazed at how this blog has grown and I believe there is more inspiration to do. The business of childcare has not gotten any easier. In fact, I pray that this blog provides you with wisdom that makes the journey easier for you.

Please take a moment and share with me how this blog has inspired you. Thanks for subscribing!

With your Business Success in mind,

Childcare Business Inspiration from my Garden

I’ve been building my Childcare business for over 25 years. If I can be honest, it has been a journey full of fun exciting days and a few not so joyful days.

Building a successful Childcare business takes a ton of hardworking, dedication and inspiration. Furthermore, it took me many years to learn that I needed a hobby to take my mind away from the stresses of the business. So, I started gardening.

Gardening inspires my journey as a business owner and just like gardening, when I see the harvest from the seeds I’ve planted, I share some of my harvest with others.

Gardening inspires my business Journey in the following ways:

  1. It’s a great way to destress at the end of a busy day.
  2. I gain divine insight as I pull weeds, prune bushes, water my garden and as I cut back overgrown bushes
  3. I learn the importance of being intentional about the seeds I plant and the patience that I gain as I wait on the seeds to grow.
  4. Most of all, the expectation that I have after planting seed, causes me to Stay in expectation mode!

Today I am going to share some insight that I received from my garden on yesterday as I checked on the cucumber seeds that I planted back in April. click here.

Be Inspired,
