Creating New Habits For a Successful Year!

good habits

Successful people have Successful Habits.~Jack Canfield

I am reading a book by Jack Canfied titled: The Power of Focus. The cover of the book caught my attention because I know that focused people are successful people.

So with that in mind, if you want to have a successful year in the business of childcare, you must get focused and develop good habits that lead to you having a Successful year.

In the book The Power of focus, Mr. Canfield wrote: “If you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got!

Do you want the same results this year that you got last year?

If not, It’s time to review your habits and develop new ones. I recently made a list of my bad and good habits and I discovered that I had 12 bad habits!

I know that’s bad, however, my good habits out weighed my bad ones and I was proud of that.

Today I want to challenge you to make a list of bad habits that produced bad results in 2012 and work on changing those habits this year.

My husband bought me a stack of 3 x 5 cards and I will  use those cards to help me to stay focused on working on my new habits. For example: This week, I will write the following on a 3 x 5 card:

My Bad Habit (s)

” You can’t control every situation so , do not allow others to cause you to get upset.”

That’s my focus for my first week of business in 2013 and yes, I have allowed others to cause me to get upset easily and I must learn to let go in order to go up!

My Good Habit

One of my good habits has been my consistency in my weekly routine and in planning my day. I believe the results of being focused has led to me getting much accomplished and having very productive business days.

What bad habit do you have that needs to change? Leave your comment below and let’s get rid of bad habits together!

Good Choices= Good Results

Bad Choices= Bad Results

To a Successful Year of Business,

Quality Child Care Begins With You…

Because Kids Deserve Quality Child Care…

When my childcare center received its first Accreditation back in 2006, I thought about how much work it took to get accredited. In fact, I held weekly quality care meetings with my staff, I met with lead teachers one on one, created parent surveys, and conducted on on-site assessments.

Yes, I became a Coach in my very own childcare facility. However, I must be quite honest with you and say this, there were time when I did not feel like assessing the quality of care in my program; sometimes I didn’t feel like holding another staff meeting and quite frankly I came to the conclusion that, if I was going to build a Quality Child Care Business; I must plan for it whether I felt like it or not!

In fact, my #1 mission in my childcare business and for this blog is to provide and promote quality childcare. Furthermore, I believe that you are also determined to build a quality childcare business!

I am writing this blog post today, to inspire you to create a quality care plan for your center. If you don’t know where to start, start by subscribing to my 7 steps to quality care eCourse.

Also, the Quality Child Care Center eClub will be available soon. This eClub will provide Child Care Center Owners with the latest Quality Care tips for their childcare business.

I know that this eclub is needed, because I get childcare news alerts about daycare violations everyday and this tells me that we need to improve the quality of childcare in our home day cares and childcare centers.

I am passionate about quality care because I know it makes a difference. In fact, it made a difference in my family home childcare business and in my center. Moreover, the quality of care that I provided caused me to stand out from other facilities and it will do the same for you!

Furthermore, quality childcare practices provides you with high standards to implement in your program. Also, parents are more knowledgeable than ever about how to choose quality childcare and they know quality when they see it.

If you are as passionate as I am about quality childcare, I hope that you share this blog post on your social media page and leave your comments below about how you plan to improve the quality of care in your program.

Change begins with you!
