What My Latest Expansion Taught Me

On August 16, 2021, my husband and I expanded our Child Care Business into Atlanta Georgia. If I can be honest, this expansion stretched my faith. It was the scariest business move that I had ever made and the best move that I could have ever made.

God has ordered our steps to a growing city, my Husband and I have met some amazing people, the vision of the business has been embraced, and the opportunities have been unlimited.

In fact, we’ve been in business for over 27 years, however the past five years has felt like a brand-new exciting Journey and the best is yet to come.

Before this expansion, we expanded four times in our hometown, however, expanding across state lines was different and I want to share with you today five vital details that my latest expansion taught me.

  1. If you feel the need to expand, do your research on the city where you want to expand and follow your gut.
  2. Write the vision for your expansion, because once you write the vision, you activate the plan.
  3. Stay Open minded, because you will have many deals to fall through, but there is only one deal for you.
  4. The systems that work where you are now, may no longer be effective where you are going.
  5. Your next expansion will require a different version of you, keep investing in yourself as a leader. Keep reading new books and learning new leadership skills.

Most of all, this expansion has taught me that it is important to come out of your comfort zone, because great things happen outside of your comfort zone!

    Dreaming of Owning Multiple Locations?

    Do you dream of owning multiple locations? Are you feeling a desire to expand your currently childcare business? If so, it is time for you to evaluate what is stopping you from moving forward.

    In 2010, I had a desire to operate multiple locations. The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I did not feel prepared to take on a larger facility. So, I furthered my education in the areas of marketing and business finance.

    Once I gained the knowledge that I needed and with lots of preparation, I expanded the business and successfully operated multiple locations with an amazing team.

    Operating multiple locations taught me a lot about the importance of creating systems, building an amazing team, investing in your leadership team and what comes with growth.

    Let me ask you a question? What’s stopping you? I want to you challenge you to take a moment and write down what you believe is stopping you. In fact, I want to inspire you to work on living your dream and face what is stopping you.

    In 2020, I wrote a book titled: 7 keys to successfully operating multiple locations. In this book I share stories from my journey of expanding and operating multiple locations. In the book you will also find proven success strategies to operating multiple locations.

    My book will give you keys to:

    • Selecting the right staff
    • Hiring the right leaders
    • Developing effective systems
    • Maintaining quality
    • Team building strategies
    • Money management systems
    • Thinking like a fortune 500 CEO

    It’s time to face your fears and get the knowledge that you need to grow your childcare business. Get your copy today!
