Setting Goals Will Bring Life To Your Business

As I write this blog post, I am in my bed preparing for my upcoming leadership meeting with my center directors. Every week we read a book or an article that inspires us all to Grow. This week’s article is an excert from a book that we are reading titled, The art of Leading by The Child Care Exchange.

The article that we are reading asks the question, Are you operating a Center or a Organization? Also, the article inspired me to delegate more and inspired me to consider setting a 5 year plan for my center.

At the beginning of 2024, I celebrated 25 years in business. In fact, I began to reflect on whether or not we have reached our peak or if we should still be building or not.

After reading that article mentioned above, and writing a 5 year plan for my center, I’m reminded that goal setting will bring life to your business.

Furthermore, As I wrote the 5 year plan for my Atlanta location, I literally felt life go back into the business!

When you’ve operated a business for over 20 years, you can easily get bored and lose vision. However, I want to inspire you to create a 5 year plan for your childcare business and bring life to your business again!

Feel free to share how this blog post inspired you!

Success is goals and all else is commentary….

 One week prior to writing this blog post, I had 6 openings in my infant and toddler unit. I was really eager to fill those spaces. So,  I asked my secretaries not to focus on anything else but filling those enrollment slots.

 

Here is what we did to fill those enrollment slots:

  • We followed up with families that had recently stopped by the center.
  • We called families on the waiting list for at least 30 days.
  • We reached out to families that were recently at the center for a tour.

When the parents called us back, we let them know that we had limited slots open and if they paid the registration fee, their children could start the program within 2 weeks.

I am so happy to announce that all 6 of those slots were filled in one week!! In Fact, I am a firm believer of setting goals and focusing on your goals until you get results!!

What do you need to accomplish in your Business? Do you have enrollment slots to fill? Do you need to hire more staff? Do you have a goal to grow your Business? Whatever, the need may be, set your goals, focus on those goals and expect results!!

With Your Business Goals in Mind!
