Every fall, early childhood business owners experience one of two things. The first is a September filled with decisions that should have been made in July, strategies that should have been documented in August, and goals that exist only as good intentions. The second is a September that feels like execution: a team that knows the plan, a service menu that was intentionally designed, and a financial target that is tracked rather than hoped for. The difference is not talent or experience. It is whether you spent July and August as a CEO planning your fall, or as an operator waiting for it to arrive. This episode builds your fall plan.

The average profit margin for early childhood businesses in the United States is 1-4 percent. The operators who know their true cost per child and price strategically are achieving 10-15 percent — with the same families, in the same markets, often with programs that are not the most expensive option available. The difference is not the program. It is the pricing approach. This episode gives you the complete framework for escaping the competitor pricing trap and building a financially sustainable early childhood business.

A chaotic first week of fall is not a September problem. It is a July problem. The operators who launch fall with confidence are not the ones who work hardest in August. They are the ones who started a systematic six-week preparation countdown in mid-July, spread the work across the right timeline, and arrived at the first day of school with almost everything already done. This episode gives you the week-by-week six-week countdown, starting today.

Back-to-school season is the biggest revenue opportunity of the early childhood business year, and most operators under-monetize it. Filling enrollment spots is just the floor. The operators who maximize this season design a fall service menu that meets families where they are and captures the value families are already ready to spend. This episode breaks down five specific back-to-school services and the process for making your existing programs more profitable before you launch anything new.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we reveal why July—not August—is the key to filling your fall enrollment and how to market with confidence before the rush begins.

📅 If you’ve been waiting until late summer to promote your fall programs, you’re already competing for families who may have made their decisions months ago. Successful enrollment isn’t built with last-minute marketing—it’s built with consistent, intentional planning.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t scramble when August arrives. They follow a strategic enrollment calendar that keeps their programs visible, nurtures family relationships, and fills classrooms long before the first day of fall.

✨ When you implement a proactive July marketing plan, you stop chasing enrollment and start creating predictable growth. You’ll build momentum, attract aligned families, and head into the new season with confidence, clarity, and a full roster.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we discuss one of the most powerful ways to protect your team, your culture, and your business—before turnover happens.

👥 If the thought of losing a key team member during your busiest season keeps you up at night, you’re not alone. Too often, leaders only discover what their staff truly need after a resignation letter is already on the table.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t wait for exit interviews to learn what’s working and what’s not. They use structured mid-year check-ins to uncover concerns, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful conversations that help their best people feel seen, supported, and valued.

✨ When you proactively invest in retention instead of reacting to turnover, you build a stronger team culture, increase loyalty, and create an environment where great team members choose to stay and grow alongside your business.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we explore why reconnecting with your purpose may be the most important leadership strategy of the summer.

💛 If summer has you questioning everything—covering call-outs, managing constant changes, and wondering whether all the hard work is worth it—you’re not alone. The busiest season of the year has a way of pulling you away from the vision that inspired you to start your business in the first place.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators understand that burnout isn’t always a sign to quit. Often, it’s a sign to reconnect. When you revisit your personal, written Why, you gain clarity, perspective, and the motivation to lead through challenges with greater confidence.

✨ Summer may not become easier overnight, but when your daily work is anchored to a deeper purpose, it becomes more meaningful. And that shift allows you to lead with resilience, inspire your team, and continue building a business that supports both your mission and your Time+Freedom™ lifestyle.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we tackle one of the biggest financial stressors early childhood owners face—summer cash flow uncertainty.

💰 If you’ve ever looked at your bank account during the summer months and wondered how a full, thriving business could suddenly feel so financially tight, you’re not alone. The challenge isn’t that your business is failing—it’s that you’re managing a seasonal reality with a year-round financial mindset.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t treat summer cash flow as a crisis. They understand the predictable patterns of their business, build financial buffers ahead of time, and create revenue strategies that smooth out seasonal fluctuations.

✨ When you plan for summer instead of reacting to it, you replace financial panic with confidence. You gain the clarity to make smart decisions, protect your peace of mind, and lead your business through every season with greater stability and freedom.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we break down how to navigate summer operations without the stress, confusion, and constant feeling of starting over.

☀️ If every June feels like your carefully built routines suddenly stop working, you’re not alone. Summer brings new schedules, staffing challenges, and family expectations that can make even the most organized programs feel chaotic.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t rebuild their businesses every summer. They adapt their systems with intentional seasonal flexibility—creating operational rhythms that support both their team and the families they serve.

✨ When you learn how to adjust your processes instead of reinventing them, summer becomes less about survival and more about sustainability. You gain the confidence to lead through your busiest season while protecting the systems, culture, and Time+Freedom™ lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to build.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we explore the hidden gap that keeps many incredible early childhood programs from earning the recognition, referrals, and loyalty they deserve.

✨ If you’re delivering exceptional care, meaningful learning experiences, and genuine connection—but families still don’t seem to fully understand your value—you’re not alone. Parents see drop-off and pickup, but they often miss the countless moments happening in between.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t just provide amazing experiences—they make those experiences visible. Through intentional Magic Moments and memorable touchpoints, they help families feel, remember, and share the impact their programs create.

💛 When you close the experience gap, you build stronger trust, deeper loyalty, and powerful word-of-mouth marketing that no advertising budget can match. The result is a business that grows naturally because families can’t stop talking about the difference you make.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we reveal why so many summer families disappear in the fall—and how to turn seasonal visitors into long-term enrolled families.

🌞 If families love your camps, play sessions, or enrichment programs but never return after summer ends, you’re not losing them because of your program. You’re losing them because there’s no intentional bridge guiding them from a summer experience into a long-term relationship with your business.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t treat summer families as one-time customers. They build strategic nurture systems, enrollment pathways, and follow-up sequences that turn warm leads into committed, year-round families.

✨ When you implement a summer-to-fall conversion strategy, you stop starting from scratch every enrollment season and begin building predictable growth, stronger retention, and a business that fills with aligned families year after year.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we tackle one of the biggest seasonal challenges early childhood leaders face—summer staffing without the burnout, chaos, or turnover.

☀️ If summer scheduling leaves you scrambling to cover ratios, managing exhausted team members, and worrying whether your staff will make it to fall, you’re not alone. The transition from school-year structure to summer flexibility creates pressure that many programs handle reactively instead of strategically.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t wait for staffing problems to appear. They build proactive summer staffing plans that balance team needs, scheduling realities, and financial sustainability—while protecting culture and retention.

✨ When your summer staffing strategy is intentional, your team feels supported, your operations stay stable, and you head into fall with energized staff instead of rebuilding from scratch.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we uncover why so many summer programs work hard without making real profit—and how to turn summer into one of your most profitable seasons instead.

☀️ If your camps are packed with fun activities but your margins still feel painfully thin, you’re not alone. Too many early childhood businesses treat summer as a “keep families happy” season instead of a strategic revenue opportunity.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t run summer programs on hope or guesswork. They use intentional pricing, smart program structures, and the Sweet Spot Offer Framework to create camps that serve families and strengthen the financial health of the business.

✨ When your summer strategy is designed for both impact and profitability, you stop treating summer as survival mode and start using it as the financial bridge that fuels a stronger, more confident fall season.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we walk through the mid-year financial check-in every early childhood owner needs—but few have ever been taught.

📊 If it’s May and you’re not sure whether you’re on track to hit your financial goals, you’re not alone. Most traditional financial advice doesn’t account for enrollment shifts, ratio requirements, and the unique cash flow patterns of early childhood businesses.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t guess—they review. Using a simple four-KPI Q2 check-in, they quickly understand where they stand and what needs to change before the second half of the year.

✨ When you build a habit of clear, strategic financial reviews, you stop operating on autopilot and start making confident adjustments that move your business toward your best year yet.

📄 If your procedures are sitting in a Google Drive folder or collecting dust in a binder, you’re not alone. The problem isn’t SOPs—it’s that most templates were built for corporate offices, not fast-paced, on-the-floor early childhood environments.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t create long, complicated manuals. They design simple, visual, and specific SOPs that fit how their teams actually work—making it easy to follow processes in real time.

✨ When your systems are usable, your team becomes more confident, your operations run smoother, and you finally stop repeating yourself—creating more consistency, clarity, and freedom in your business.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we reveal why your social media isn’t converting and how to fix it with a simple, proven content formula.

📱 If you’re posting consistently, sharing quotes, classroom moments, and open spots, but enrollment isn’t increasing, you’re not alone. Traditional social media advice doesn’t work in early childhood because parents aren’t buying a product—they’re choosing who to trust with their child.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t just post content, they follow a strategic system. Using the 60/30/10 Rule, they guide families through the Attract, Engage, and Nurture phases of the Enrollment Flywheel.

✨ When your content aligns with how parents actually make decisions, you stop posting just to stay visible and start converting attention into trust, inquiries, and enrolled families.

👥 If you’ve been posting job ads, hoping for the best, and settling for whoever applies, you’re not alone. Generic hiring strategies attract generic candidates—and early childhood businesses need something very different.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t treat hiring like a fire drill. They build strong employer brands and simple, repeatable systems that attract the right people before they even need to hire.

✨ When you shift from reactive hiring to intentional attraction, you stop settling and start building a team that aligns with your vision, strengthens your culture, and helps your business thrive.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t overcomplicate finances. They use a simple Monthly Money Date system and tools like the CEO Cashflow Planner to stay on top of their numbers in under two hours a month.

✨ When you budget like a CEO, you replace financial stress with confidence—making clear, data-driven decisions that support profit, stability, and the Time+Freedom™ lifestyle your business was meant to provide.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we uncover why so many early childhood businesses feel chaotic—and how simple systems can create the operational breakthrough you’ve been needing.

🧠 If everything in your program lives in your head, you’re not alone. Repeating the same instructions, answering the same questions, and scrambling when someone is absent is exhausting—and it keeps your business dependent on you for everything.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t create overwhelming manuals no one reads. Instead, they use tools like the Operations Workflow Analyzer to identify what truly needs to be systematized, what can be automated, and what can be eliminated altogether.

✨ When your operations move from your head into clear, repeatable systems, chaos begins to disappear—and your business becomes more organized, resilient, and capable of running smoothly whether you’re there or not.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we explore why great service alone isn’t enough to stand out—and how intentional experiences turn happy families into your most powerful growth engine.

🌟 If families love your program but your waitlist isn’t growing or premium pricing still feels out of reach, the issue isn’t quality. In today’s market, great service is expected—not what makes your program unforgettable.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators go beyond service by designing Magic Moments at key parent touchpoints—intentional experiences that deepen trust, spark referrals, and elevate how families talk about your program.

✨ When you learn how to monetize happiness through thoughtful experiences, you don’t just build loyalty—you create a reputation that supports premium pricing and fuels word-of-mouth growth advertising can’t buy.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we expose the silent revenue leak costing early childhood programs thousands—and how to fix it for good.

📞 If inquiries are coming in but enrollment isn’t matching the interest, the problem isn’t demand—it’s inconsistent follow-up. Lost messages, delayed responses, and reactive communication are quietly costing you $8,000–$15,000 per missed family.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t rely on memory or hope. They implement the A.C.E. Inquiry System (Attract, Communicate, Enroll)—a structured 7-touchpoint follow-up framework designed to convert significantly more inquiries into enrolled families.

✨ When you systematize inquiry management instead of winging it, you stop hemorrhaging revenue and start filling spots predictably—with clarity, confidence, and control.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we unpack why hiring an Assistant Director or Manager often creates more overwhelm—not less—and what to do instead.

👥 If you brought in a second-in-command hoping to lighten your load, only to find you’re both stretched thin, you’re not alone. The traditional Assistant Director model was built for large corporate centers—not lean, ratio-dependent programs.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t rely on one person to carry everything. They use distributed leadership—spreading responsibility across 3–5 specialized roles that align with team strengths, increase ROI, and prevent burnout.

✨ When you implement the Leadership Lift System, you stop stacking pressure on one role and start building sustainable leadership capacity that supports growth, stability, and your Time+Freedom™ vision.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we challenge one of the most damaging myths in the early childhood industry—that 2–5% profit margins are “normal” and unavoidable.

💸 If you’re working 50+ hours a week with full enrollment and timely payments, yet barely breaking even, you’re not failing—you’ve been handed a story that keeps good leaders small, exhausted, and stuck.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators reject razor-thin margins. They understand the five profit levers that actually move the needle in ratio-dependent businesses and use them to build 10–15% margins without significantly raising tuition or sacrificing quality.

✨ When you stop accepting survival as the standard and start leading with financial clarity, you move from breaking even to building a profitable business that supports both your mission and your long-term security.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we tackle the financial blind spot that keeps so many early childhood owners stuck—earning revenue without real clarity on profitability.

📊 If enrollment is strong and families are paying on time, yet you’re unsure whether you’re actually making money or just staying busy, you’re not alone. Most EC leaders were never taught how to read financials built for ratio-dependent businesses.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t rely on gut feelings or accounting degrees. They use simplified financial clarity systems and track 5–7 key metrics designed specifically for early childhood programs—so they can understand their numbers in minutes, not hours.

✨ When you build your CEO Financial Dashboard and simplify your budget process, you stop flying blind and start making confident, data-driven decisions that improve profit and protect your time.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we break down why staying busy doesn’t always mean your business is growing—and how to finally focus on what actually moves the needle.

📝 If your to-do list feels endless and your days are packed, yet your profits haven’t improved, you’re not failing—you’re reacting. Motion often disguises itself as progress, especially in early childhood businesses where everything feels urgent.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t try to do everything. They use tools like the 90-Day CEO Action Plan to identify the 3–5 priorities that truly drive profit—and eliminate the rest.

✨ When you shift from reacting to leading with intention, you stop spinning your wheels and start building the profitable, time-free business you originally envisioned.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we tackle why offering more programs doesn’t always lead to more profit—and how to find the true sweet spot in your services.

🧩 If you’re juggling toddler classes, enrichment add-ons, camps, events, and special programs but your margins haven’t moved, you may be confusing activity with profitability. Some offerings quietly drain your time and energy while giving very little back.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t try to be everything to everyone. They use tools like the Sweet Spot Analyzer to identify which services actually generate profit—and which ones generate exhaustion.

✨ When you focus on high-impact offerings designed for your capacity and ideal families, you stop working harder for the same results and start making strategic decisions that increase both profit and time freedom.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we break down why so much early childhood marketing feels exhausting—and why “posting more” rarely leads to full enrollment.

📱 If you’re spending hours creating content, showing up consistently, and following online marketing advice—yet your phone stays quiet—you’re not doing anything wrong. Most marketing strategies weren’t designed for early childhood programs where families research for weeks and decide over months.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators don’t rely on social media hustle to fill classrooms. They build strategic Parent Attraction Systems using the Marketing Made Easy Enrollment Flywheel—designed specifically for how parents actually make child-related decisions.

✨ When your marketing aligns with real parent behavior, you stop wasting time on tactics that don’t work and start filling spots predictably—without turning yourself into a full-time content creator.

👥 If you’re losing great teachers every few months and starting to wonder if “no one wants to work anymore,” you’re not wrong—but you are being given solutions that don’t work in ratio-dependent businesses with razor-thin margins.

⚙️ Confident Early Childhood Operators know that strong team culture isn’t built through bigger paychecks or flashy perks—it’s built through strategic empowerment systems that help staff feel trusted, capable, and valued without breaking your budget.

📋 You didn’t fail at your goals—and you’re not disorganized. The truth is, most goal-setting frameworks weren’t built for people-powered programs where staffing, parent needs, and licensing realities can shift everything in a single day.

🔭 When you move beyond isolated goals and build a clear, protected vision for your time, energy, and leadership, everything changes. Your days feel calmer, your team steps up with confidence, and your business starts supporting the life you’re actually trying to create.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we’re exploring how to transform parent communication from overwhelming and reactive into confident, connected partnership.

🧡 If you’re sending updates, answering questions, and trying to stay available—but still facing endless concerns and last-minute conversations—you’re not doing anything wrong. Traditional communication strategies simply don’t work in early childhood settings where emotions, routines, and developmental needs shape every moment.

🔍 When you begin supporting the Parent Journey instead of reacting to every message, everything shifts. Parents feel grounded, your team communicates with confidence, and you create a stronger foundation of trust within your program.

✨ This is how Confident Early Childhood Operators replace chaos with clarity—and how you start building the Time+Freedom™ lifestyle your business was meant to support.

🎙️ In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we dig into how clear policies and communication systems transform parent partnerships—and why most leaders stay stuck answering the same questions again and again.

📩 If you’re rewriting emails, clarifying expectations, and still feeling like families aren’t aligned, the issue isn’t parent behavior. It’s unclear systems trying to support a relationship-driven business.

In this conversation, we break down how to build communication structures that “do the talking for you,” so your team gains confidence, your families gain trust, and your days stop being filled with preventable fires.

✨ You’ll learn how confident operators create clarity that reduces overwhelm, strengthens connection, and gives you back the time and ease your business was designed to provide.

💡 In this episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, we break down what it truly means to build happiness into the operational core of your early childhood program — not as a bonus, but as a strategic advantage.

When children feel restless, teachers feel drained, and joy feels fleeting, most leaders respond with more activities, more themes, or more staff-appreciation efforts. But these short-term boosts don’t work in ratio-dependent environments where the system determines how people feel.

This episode reveals how to treat happiness as a measurable component of your operations so your program shifts from reactive survival mode to sustainable excellence. You’ll learn how to design environments where children regulate more easily, teachers feel supported and energized, and you lead with calm clarity instead of constant pressure.

👉 If you’re ready to create a business where joy is predictable—not accidental—this conversation will guide you through the operational strategies that make it possible.

"I'm too busy managing my early childhood business to focus on personal well-being practices like nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness. These strategies sound great in theory, but I just don't have the time."

This common objection arises from the demanding nature of operating an early childhood business, where time feels like a scarce resource. Many business owners and managers feel overwhelmed by the day-to-day responsibilities, making it difficult to prioritize their own physical and mental health. The assumption is that dedicating time to personal well-being detracts from the time that could be spent on the business, potentially impacting its success. This perspective creates a significant barrier to implementing the very strategies that could enhance their energy, productivity, and ultimately, their business's performance.

In this episode, we tackle this objection head-on by demonstrating how integrating simple, effective well-being practices into your routine can be a game changer for both your personal health and your business's success. We break down the misconception that focusing on personal energy and resilience requires large blocks of time or detracts from business tasks. Instead, we offer:

Practical, Time-efficient Strategies: Tailored for busy entrepreneurs, these strategies are designed to fit into even the most packed schedules, showing how small changes can lead to significant impacts.
Direct Benefits to Business Operations: We connect the dots between personal well-being and professional efficiency, illustrating how improving your physical and mental energy directly enhances decision-making, creativity, and stamina in managing your early childhood business.
Actionable Steps for Immediate Implementation: By providing clear, concise, and actionable steps, we empower listeners to start making changes today, no matter how busy they are. These include tips on quick and nutritious meals, short bursts of exercise, and mindfulness practices that can be seamlessly integrated into a hectic day.

This episode aims to shift the narrative from viewing personal well-being as a separate or even competing interest with business management to understanding it as an essential foundation for sustainable success and fulfillment in operating an early childhood business.

Finding your why is the secret to uncovering a clear understanding of your mission and purpose that will help ensure success year after year. It truly is your secret weapon that will get you through the darkest times.

Finding your ‘why’ can be essential for achieving success and making long-term progress. When we focus on why we are doing something rather than just what needs to be done, our minds create more meaning and purpose in our lives. The importance of uncovering and exploring your true purpose as you continue on your business journey is what will keep you getting back on the path every time you fall off.

Today we are discussing everything from why it's important to find ways to make it tangible. Including:

The Importance of Knowing Your Why
The Major Benefits of Knowing Your Why
How to Find Your Why

You need to look within, discover the things that you are passionate about, and pursue them—regardless of other people’s doubts or the setbacks you’ll meet. Your own purpose will point the way to your success.

Listen to learn more!

It is a good idea to write down your thoughts in a journal as you do these exercises. So we created a wonderful worksheet to help you think about things as you go through this process. Be sure to Download your Finding Your Why Clarity Tool. Use this worksheet to get your thoughts out of your mind and onto paper.

During a time when businesses are struggling to retain talent, creating a strong onboarding process for new team members is imperative. By implementing a strategic onboarding program, you can build new team members’ confidence, increase engagement, and create an environment that retains talent for years to come.

A good onboarding experience can also increase a new team member's job satisfaction, commitment, and productivity as it improves their retention rates. Studies have shown that organizations with strong onboarding programs retain new hires at a much higher rate than those with weak programs.

You can demonstrate leadership and inspire team members to contribute, furthering their commitment to each other and your business. When people feel like they belong, they stay. Your goal is to make sure they stay with you!

In today’s ECBME podcast episode I am sharing some real insights on the following:

Why is a Great Onboarding Experience Important?
The 4 Keys to Onboarding Success
Common Onboarding Challenges and How to Address Them

To help you brainstorm your very own New Team Member Onboarding Plan we have created a resource to help you. It is page 1 of your New Team Member Onboarding Guide. Use this page 1 to get started and continue creating the rest of your guide.

✨💛 You can have a really amazing personal life, full of family, space and downtime, as well as a thriving Early Childhood business, where, of course, you put in the time and you put in the work, but you don't need to work yourself to death.

It absolutely is possible for you to stop sacrificing your personal life and live the life you want, and it absolutely is possible to create a thriving, profitable, Early Childhood business that makes a difference in the lives of others without working long hours and more weekends instead of spending time with family and being exhausted all the time from your business.

🔮 Once we can pull back a bit and look at our Early Childhood business as the living, breathing, real thing that it is, we're able to boost new confidence into how we handle things. It takes bigger steps to get there, but with little tweaks here and there, we can breath new life back into our dream of living a time+freedom lifestyle with more gratitude and work+life balance than we ever thought possible.

Keeping it simple with 3 things top of mind will create an intentional year filled with purpose and clarity and far less time needed spent hustling.

Gratitude is more powerful than one might think. Life is full of distractions and overwhelm. Developing a practice of gratitude will help you achieve your goals with more work+life balance and less hustle.

Want to accomplish your business & personal goals AND have more time+freedom? Evaluate how your week is going. Is it chaotic with a never-ending to-do list or do you have clarity around daily activities that are moving your goals forward?

Be honest… have you ever envisioned your Ideal Week? If you would have asked me to envision my ideal work week back in the early days, I probably would have laughed -- because I was so far off from having one. Even being my own boss, my work weeks were far less than ideal. It’s taken A LOT of trial and error (16 years of it, in fact) to nail it down -- but the good news is, I’ve finally perfected it.

That’s right, my friend -- I have set up my Ideal Week in a way that allows me to work towards my goals AND have more of a time+ freedom lifestyle to spend with the ones that I love.

It’s helped me be more focused, productive, and… here’s the big one… I don’t even work onsite every day anymore.

Whether you have been an Early Childhood business owner or manager for a while or you are just starting out, if you don't have an ideal week and if you're not taking the time to set it up and commit to it, that's the part that's most important, well, follow these steps and your life is going to get a whole lot easier. You can create an ideal week for optimal focus, productivity, and well-being.

My hope is that you’ll be able to implement some of the strategies I will share so that you, too, can accomplish your goals AND live life on your terms. You will be able to implement these simple ways to stay organized and on-task. You will be able to live more of a time+freedom lifestyle. Sounds dreamy, right?

Well if you got chaos, these 3 3trategies will help you maximize your energy, increase productivity and help you control that chaos.

Plan Your Ideal Week
Identify Your Daily Big 3
Adopt some time management techniques.

It's an exciting time for goal setting and prepping for success in the new year. We hope this episode gives you some great insight into yearly planning as an Early Childhood business owner/manager. This process can be so fun (and not as overwhelming as you think!) if you go into it with a plan.

2023 is just around the corner. But in order to fly forward we must look back. How did you do in 2022?

What were your wins in 2022? Did you struggle in 2022? I know you had lots of fires to deal with, we work with kids! But what I am getting at is what were the big things? Hiring was difficult for all of us. How about your team? Because of the hiring issues, did you find some amazing team culture success because we had to depend on one another unlike any other year?

How was your enrollment? With so many businesses closing due to the pandemic were you fighting to keep up? Or did the chaos take over and you couldn’t seem to get out of the day to day muck to focus on any meaningful marketing?

Before making ANY plans ahead, you need to evaluate what worked and what didn’t. You will look at your successes and failures. Whether you hit your goals or not, you need to look back. It’s important to not get caught up in the shoulda-coulda-woulda’s of the past year. This past year is filled with information – and looking back will give you space to uncover it.

Too often in life we are so busy getting all the things done that we breeze past reflection. But no matter what the year brought, celebrating wins no matter how small and analyzing setbacks, makes us more likely to achieve in the future. The simple practice of putting pencil to paper with a little focused time is the first step in achieving those 2023 goals.

So today on the ECBME podcast we’re discussing what your end of year review process and what that looks like. Uncovering what really matters to set you up for success in the new year. By spending a little time on looking back with a year end review you will be able to:

Use a year end review strategy to plan a fabulous new year.
Decide what you want when it comes to a lifestyle with more time+freedom.
Set yourself up for success in the new year with more clarity.

To help you brainstorm your very own vision for time+freedom lifestyle we have created a resource to help you. You can find this Vision Board worksheet at kelleypeake.com where this podcast episode info is located.We also have a great resource, the Early Childhood Business CEO Vision Planner that will help guide you through all of this if you haven't identified your mission, core values, brand promise, hidden assets, and more.

Your Early Childhood business is going somewhere and the question is where?

🗺 What's the destination? Is it the place that you're choosing to take it to or have you floated somewhere you would rather not be? Or worse, somewhere you feel stuck and cannot get out of? And the ultimate question, are you living the time freedom lifestyle of your choosing?

Quality customer service is essential for any business that wants to retain its customers and grow its client base. Unfortunately, for many Early Childhood businesses the day-to-day fires that come up and the daily tasks can take precedence over quality customer service.

We all want to achieve great results. But more often than not, we need others on our team to achieve this success. It becomes clear pretty quickly that when working with parents and their children, there isway too many moving parts for one person to manage alone.

When you have a rockstar team that executes your vision, you eventually get to stay out of all the day-to-day business activities NOT in your genius zone. However, those non-genius activities still have to get done with the same care, quality, and attention you would give. That’s where a Team Development Process comes in.

Today, we want to share the best way to kickstart your Team Development Process. And that is by installing a Team Development Process. It will help you:

Define what quality customer service is for your Early Childhood business.
Set clear expectations for your team members.
Train your team members on how to execute your vision.

When you look at your website… Is it frightful? Does it look more like the work of Frankenstein rather than a professional business that serves the needs of today’s busy families?

Like the pieced-together Frankenstein, have you pieced together your website, added on pages, or have sections that don’t quite “match” the rest?

You probably have a few pages that are from when you first started, maybe a few pages that you created after you got more comfortable. Your site pages might even have a different design as you become more familiar with what your communication strategy is with your families.

If you have an older website that you created when you first opened your doors, odds are that site doesn't reflect where you are now. That’s great news because it means you’ve grown!

On today's ECBME podcast we are going to talk about:

How an inconsistent website could be hurting your Early Childhood business.
What needs to be un-Frankenstein'd on your website.
The one rule you must follow to make sure your un-Frankenstein’d website is effective as possible.

To help you brainstorm what is working and what is not working on your website, we have created a resource, the Simple Website Audit to help you get started. You can find it at kelleypeake.com where this podcast episode info is located.

Build Your Cultural Competence
Make Celebrations Child-Centred

Most of us in the early childhood space is serving others and often feel a sense of struggle with sales. But really, this is just a struggle with receiving. Often times, we are used to being the caretaker, the helper, the healer, and the focus on the well-being of others. You may not be used to feeling that you deserve the same level of value when the time comes and you need to talk about charging money for your services.

Receiving is not something we're trained naturally to do. And really trusting yourself in sales can bring up things around, “Am I worth it? Do I get to receive? Do I get to take in money for what I do? And can that be OK for me?” Today we are here to say, “YES!” It is ok and we can grow our business and sell in a way that feels good even when it is outside of our comfort zone and at times feels completely foreign.

So, how do we grow our business and sell in a way that feels good even when it is outside of our comfort zone and at times feels completely foreign?

As Early Childhood owners/managers we see ourselves as natural nurturers, teachers, caregivers, and entrepreneurs versus salespeople, but to continue to grow your business it is imperative to “sell.” You must embrace the idea of “allowing” yourself to embrace the discomfort in selling and pivot your mindset.

If you struggle when it comes time to ask for the sale in the inquiry or tour process, then today's ECBME podcast episode is for you! We are going to outline the key factors that will help you lose the icky feeling when it comes to talking about money with your prospective families.

When it comes to sales in our Early Childhood businesses we need to:

According to new research published on HubSpot, 82% of consumers look for an immediate response from businesses on marketing or sales questions. And this group rates immediate response as important or very important from the businesses they deal with.

It's important to know how to turn your inquiries into tours to grow your Early Childhood business. This is because inquiries come in daily, and if you don't know how to handle them properly, you won't be able to maximize your chances of getting people to set up a tour with you to check out your preschool or play cafe.

It's that time of year again! The leaves are starting to turn, and school is back in session. For early childhood businesses, that can only mean one thing: back-to-school craziness and chaos! It's all hands on deck during this busy time of year.

But as any seasoned preschool, childcare or play cafe owner/manager knows, the key to surviving back-to-school season is to stay organized and keep a sense of humor. After all, when the chaos is all over, you'll be left with a happy kids and families as you grow your profitable business - and that's what it's all about.

No matter how hard we try, stress seems to always find its way into our lives. It can wreak havoc on productivity and snowball into issues that create stress.

While it's impossible to completely eliminate stress, it is crucial that we learn how to manage it during times when things are not going exactly as we plan. Now, we know how important it is to take care of ourselves so we can lead our team. But who has time for that? Especially after all of the issues I just listed right?!?!

Well, to be the leader that grows a profitable Early Childhood business and not just merely manage one you need to learn how to make time. So in today’s episode of the Early Childhood Business Made Easy podcast I am going to share with you some tips about mindfulness and how you can use this to calm that stress you are feeling today and anytime it creeps in.

Today we are going to talk about:

What is Mindfulness?
What are the benefits of a more mindful leader?
How can mindfulness be incorporated into your daily routine as an Early Childhood business owner/manager?

**Consistency is the key to providing a quality experience. But how do we ensure that and what is the key to making sure our team is on the same page?

When it comes to operating a preschool, playcafe, or other type of early childhood business, having well-developed standard operating procedures is essential. Strong SOPs help to ensure that all team members are on the same page in terms of how to handle day-to-day operations and procedures. They also provide a valuable reference point in the event that something goes wrong.**

**In today’s episode we share the Ultimate Guide to EC Business Standard Operating Procedures that will help you develop and implement standard operating procedures (SOPs) for your early childhood business.

I can honestly say that I LOVE my SOPs! I took a bit of time to write them when I first opened but have only had to change or update them a few times. The most recent was the unfortunate addition of the lock down drill.**

**These SOPs have saved me so much time!! I have every new team member review them while they are in training. When I sit down with them to make sure they are properly trained, that have already reviewed almost all that they need to know. So my time with them is focused on supporting their needs and questions, not explaining details.

Marketing strategies have evolved a lot in the last two decades, however, even in 2022, nothing beats great word-of-mouth when it comes to early childhood businesses.

You see, people trust other people more than they trust social media ads or email marketing campaigns, so relying on word-of-mouth just seems like the best idea.

However, word-of-mouth is not what it used to be. You can actually have more control now over what people say about your business, and this is exactly what I’m discussing in this week’s episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy.

Yes friends, today, we’re talking about my super easy Reoccurring Referral Plan.

The most cost effective way to increase your revenue is by implementing a Reoccurring Referral Plan that incentivizes current families, local businesses, and your community to spread the word about your early childhood business.

A Parent Audience Builder can help you grow your list of potential families, and that, in turn, can lead to better enrollment rates in the future.

By offering something of value in exchange for contact information, you can get in front of more potential customers and start building relationships with them.

And this is exactly why, in this week’s episode, I’ll be sharing with you how to create a successful Parent Audience Builder.

Are you ready?

In order to do this, you have to plan your marketing strategy rigorously.

And this is exactly why, today, I’ll be sharing with you my five communication strategies for growing your preschool enrollment.

As Teacher Appreciation Week approaches, it's important to take a moment and come up with a meaningful strategy to celebrate the hardworking teachers that make our preschools operate every day.

Without them, no preschool would be able to function.

This is why, today, I share the 10 meaningful ways you can celebrate your beloved teachers with the parents, the students, and the management team.

In this week's episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy, I broach the subject of communication.

Communication is a top priority for families. And how we communicate with them will determine their level of confidence in our ability to provide for their children.

This is why having a great communication plan is a must for every early childhood business, whether it's a school, a play café, or a center.

Keeping parents informed means keeping them happy.

However, to ensure that happens, your team must be on the same page, communication-wise.

How do you make sure that's the case?

Last week, I discussed how to plan for your best summer camp ever!

Today, I'll dive deeper into that plan, and talk about how to decide on the right themes.

Your themes are some of the few things that will differentiate your school or center from other ones around you.

If they're fun and creative, your team will enjoy working on them, the children will absolutely love them, and the parents will be satisfied, which means... more enrollment!

When done right, your summer camp can be a golden opportunity for your business. A successful summer camp can bring new families into your world and even convince them to enroll in the fall.

And the first step to achieving that is wowing your potential families with your super fun and creative summer camp themes.

How can you come up with something that'll leave everyone wanting more?

When you have the right people on your team and they know what to do, your business works better and makes more money.

This is why investing in building a great team is a must if you want your early childhood business to thrive.

When you trust your team, you can delegate tasks to them — such as enrollment tasks —.

Doing so means having more time to focus on the things you truly enjoy working on and the things that will grow your business.

And who wouldn't want that?

So, how do you invest in building team members that enroll?

After all, you know where you're headed — a successful early childhood business and a successful life —, but why do you want any of that?

Friends, I'm back again with another great episode of Early Childhood Business Made Easy!

If you remember well, last week, I discussed the three things I did every January to make sure I have the best strategic plan for my life and my business (if you haven't listened to the episode yet, click here).

But I don't stop there. To thrive as much as I can, I also make sure to plan my days!

I use my annual strategic personal plan as a stepping stone in order to set myself up every single day.

And that's exactly what you'll be learning about today!

Designed to help you stay focused while also living a life of fulfillment and growth, my daily planning process will ensure you set up your year for success.

Unlike any other creature on Earth, human beings get to create their own reality.

We do this by starting and finishing projects, whether we are starting a company, creating a family, or simply growing a garden.

This is the philosophy I live by, which is why, every year, I start my January with a vision for the next 364 days.

Having a strategic plan (even if planning isn't always your strongest suit) is crucial if you want your business to keep thriving.

Without an exact vision, you're just stumbling in the dark, hoping something works.

With an actionable plan, you're taking control of your business and guiding it to where you want it to be.

What's even better is that you don't need anything overly complicated to achieve this.

I myself only need to do three things every January to plan my business year, and lucky for you, I'm sharing them today!

Leaders create vision while managers execute vision.

Vision is essential for successful leadership. Without it, influence fades along with the current trends. This could not be more true in business. Unless you, as the leader, have a clear picture of the destination where you want your business to be in three to five years, you've got nothing that will inspire your people to follow you.

Seth Goodin said, “Leaders create things that didn't exist before, they do this by giving the tribe a vision of something that could happen but hasn't yet.”

Today we are going to be talking about vision. Your business vision is a clear, inspiring, practical, and inviting picture of your business’s future. Seeing what the future could be, and then sharing that potential in an inspiring, clear, practical, and inviting way. A clear message from you, the leader that your team can follow into the future.

When you are clear on what you want and how you plan to get there, you avoid the many pitfalls that can happen in business. Because you are better prepared for the future, you capitalize on key opportunities and you're better attuned to what will help you move forward. You have the ability to filter out opportunities that will distract or derail you. Your strategy is aligned with your big picture. Because of this focus and alignment, you waste less money, time, and talent. Your team is on board and all pulling in the same direction. And maybe most importantly, you are motivated to stick with it when times get tough.

Today we will discuss:

The importance of a clear business vision plan
Elements of a clear vision business plan
How to craft your own clear vision plan

Do you have any doubts or limiting beliefs about your future? Can you reject, reframe, or replace any of these to create a new room for possibility? We discuss in more detail about obstacles and limiting beliefs in the Peake Creative CEO Mindset Business Vision Plan. Find it on our Peakecreative website and use promo code CEOMINDSETVISION to receive $10 off this amazing tool that will help you lay the foundation for ongoing business success in your early childhood business.

We have created a pdf resource located on our website that will guide you through sample questions and a process based on the 4 domains we talked about today. We hope that these general business questions will help you get started crafting your own business vision plan.

Hopefully, this episode brought you a fresh new perspective on the importance of putting in a little time and effort to create a strong foundation in your early childhood business will reap huge rewards. When you nurture your CEO Mindset you are leading your business and not just managing it. Spending less time on the busy work and spending more time doing the things you truly enjoy. Focusing on the things that really matter, your top priorities, your key relationships, your most important projects, all the things that will bring you more joy and your business more success. Take care and have a great week!

Our passion is loving and educating children while making life a little easier for today’s busy families, not graphic design. Yet, our first impression with the families in our communities is crucial to the success of our preschool programs. We often are so passionate about what we do that we do not place enough emphasis on the business of preschool and our process for attracting new families.

Our website and print materials are often the first things many families see about us and are the introduction phase of a potential new relationship with a family. It is so important that we have a process for ensuring that our families have a good first impression when interacting with these materials.

In this episode we are going to discuss one of my absolute favorite tools I now use on a regular basis. This one tool has saved me hours and hundreds of dollars. It allows me to do the graphic design work on my own in a short amount of time. The Canva design app.

Canva is yet another freemium online graphics tool that’s extremely simple to use and offers a mountain load of templates that can help you out. It’s supposed to be a quick and easy way to create visuals and help those unskilled in the magic of graphic design.

You can create custom marketing materials for your early childhood business, preschool, classroom resources your teachers can use, and everything you need to communicate to your parents. You can do business cards, brochures, worksheets, posters, it's practically limitless. It's only up to your imagination in terms of some of the things you can and can't do with this design app.

Canva offers free video tutorials. If you're new to graphic design and want to learn about branding or how to incorporate Canva in the virtual classroom, there are free video tutorials on their website.

We will discuss:

What is Canva
Why You Should Use Canva
How to Get Started with Canva
Canva Free vs Paid

If you are looking to give Canva a try, we have linked the Canva account setup information on Peake Creative. Find it on our podcast page with this episode for a 30 day free trial. I promise you will not be wasting your time!

We hope that this episode brought you a fresh new idea on how to bring your marketing materials to life. And the importance of putting in a little time and effort for a bigger pay off in the end. When you invest a little time in your marketing materials, that first impression will wow your potential families and result in new customers. You will be spending less time creating marketing materials so you can spend more time doing the things you truly enjoy that bring you more joy and your business more success. Take care and have a great week!

Customer service is a game of trust. Lose it, and you'll have to work twice as hard to win it back. Reassurance is an essential prevention tool. As we all know, trust is one of the most important things to a parent.

On a basic level, customer service in our preschool world is the level of support we provide our families through our services, quality care and early childhood education. But those who can exceed the basic expectations of care and education by providing an experience that feels more like an extension of the family are the preschools with on-going waitlists.

You may think that the best preschools have great funding, awesome classroom design, high quality curriculum, incorporate technology, or any number of other things that we hope will boost student achievement and family enrollment.

Actually it is the amount of engagement families have with your school that often determines their satisfaction with your program and their child's overall success. I am certain that you know how important parent engagement is, but how often do we really examine what this means to our preschool business?

In our business we care for people's most prized possessions in life! Let me repeat that... we care for others' most prized possessions in life. This means that all interactions and feelings about those interactions are intensified because of the value that is placed on this highly intimate experience between the family and your preschool.

Today we are going to discuss:

The structure and importance of quality customer service in our preschool businesses.
Identify 5 top quality customer service barriers that often affect preschools.
Define a process for removing those barriers.
Controlling the chaos with the 5 R’s of Quality Customer Service.

Be sure to check out our Rules and Characteristics for Building Customer Relationships found with this episode on our podcast page at peakecreative.com
We hope that this episode brought you some fresh new insights on the importance of putting in a little time and effort in to ensure your team not only understands the value of high quality customer service, but that they know how to deliver it. When you make providing quality customer service a priority, you are nurturing your families and your business. You will be spending less time having to market, enroll, and fill your school. You can spend more time doing the things you truly enjoy. Focusing on the things that really matter, your top priorities, your key relationships, your most important projects, all the things that will bring you more joy and your business more success. Take care and have a great week!

It is essential that our team members fully understand that we need to work in a positive way with our parents for the benefit of the children we serve and the success of our business, in addition to their ability to receive a paycheck. It is our job to make parents feel welcome and involved in our programs. And that providing a high quality experience for the child is the expectation of both the parent and the child.

Relationship building with parents is the job of every team member in your school. This connection forms the foundation of mutually trusting relationships. We will discuss great examples of ideas to help you find as many ways as possible to establish, maintain, and encourage a strong relationship with your families like:

Building trust before a family and their student even begins.

Taking the time to understand the parents expectations and the child's unique characteristics
The importance of professional team members and teachers.
Finding ways to involve parents in your programs and school will allow parents to see firsthand the quality and how professional your team is.
Maintaining a high level of professionalism in our communication with families is mandatory to ensure the success of your business.

Establishing a parent communication strategy with your team will help to ensure the situation is handled properly. A great tool to use when dealing with an upset parent is a process called LAYER Parent Communication. We will go over the following process that may help you resolve a parent's concern when handled in a professional manner. Teaching your team this process will help ensure things can be handled by anyone.

Listen to the parent.
Acknowledge the parents concern.
You’re…. repeat back what you hear.
Earn their Trust demonstrate that you are on their side.
Resolution discuss a possible solution together.

Making certain that you provide quality experiences for your children all day everyday gives your families peace of mind and trust in your team. You will leave parents feeling confident about their decision for choosing you!

We have created an example conversation of how this process would be used. Be sure to check them out on the podcast page of our Peake Creative website.

We hope that this episode brought you some new ideas and reminders about how important parent communication and building family relationships is to the success of your early childhood business. A little time and effort in building these relationships will have a bigger payoff in the end. You will be spending less time having to handle upset parents and can spend more time doing the things you truly enjoy. Focusing on the things that really matter, your top priorities, your key relationships, your most important projects, all the things that will bring you more joy and your business more success. Take care and have a great week!

In this episode, we are going to talk about boosting your bottom line by hosting quality family special events which will create extremely happy family memories.

Strong families are built on love and quality experiences that create wonderful childhood memories. However, love and memories don’t just happen—we have to work at creating and nurturing these quality experiences that lead to wonderful memories for our kids.

The day-to-day hustle and bustle can leave many of us short on time and zapped of energy, leaving little room to work at building loving relationships and quality experiences in our families. This can be most true for the busy families we serve. Making these memories is one way to help link hearts together and provide a unique service for our families that leave them feeling more love for our schools than we could have ever imagined. And in turn, an increased lifetime family value for our bottom line.

We will talk about the advantages of families during these quality family experiences:

Developing new friendships.
Learning from other families.
Gaining new insight and understanding about your school.
Gaining an appreciation for your teachers' efforts.
Parents are better able to define appropriate levels of expectations for their child’s development.
Parents can see their child’s developing abilities and skills.
Parents feel more comfortable in their interactions with your team members

In addition, research with school-age children over the past forty years finds that family involvement is critical to the educational success of both the child and the school in part because it:

Raises the academic achievement of the students.
Improve the attitudes and performances of the children in school.
Has a positive effect on self-esteem and motivation to learn.
Reduces behavior problems.
Helps parents to understand and be more supportive of your school curriculum, policies, and procedures.
Builds school and community relationships in an ongoing problem, preventing way.
Gives teachers an opportunity to get acquainted with the families and learn about their concerns, which, in turn, helps them respond to their needs.

At Peake Academy, we have been hosting these quality family experiences and special events for more than 16 years now. We make sure we have one planned every month. I wanted to share some tips and ideas for hosting your own quality family special events. Our families are often impressed with the events we have hosted but it’s not difficult at all, it just takes some planning, effort, and little creativity.

We have created a list of some of the fun and super easy events we have hosted over the years. Be sure to check them out on the podcast page of our Peake Creative website.

We hope that this episode brought you a fresh new perspective on the importance of putting in a little time and effort for a bigger payoff in the end. When you provide at least 1 quality family special event each month, you are nurturing your families and your business. You will be spending less time having to market, enroll, and fill your school. You can spend more time doing the things you truly enjoy. Focusing on the things that really matter, your top priorities, your key relationships, your most important projects, all the things that will bring you more joy and your business more success. Take care and have a great week!

The more invested your team is, the less turnover you will have. Constant turnover and the need to hire, train and bring in new team members create constant chaos. Eliminate this by developing a thriving team environment.

Team building in our early childhood businesses is essential to helping you control the chaos and find more time to focus on the things that move your business forward. It is also essential to ensuring your team is not only happy to serve your families but are excited and delighted to do so. This makes your team building AN INVESTMENT not just a nice thing to do.

We will discuss 8 reasons team building is so important and how it translates directly to high-performing teams.
Team Building:
1. BUILDS TRUST
2. REGULATES COMMUNICATION
3. INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY
4. BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER
5. FOSTERS CREATIVITY AND LEARNING
6. MAKES PEOPLE MORE ACCEPTING
7. EMPLOYEES CAN ACQUIRE SKILLS
8. IMPROVES COMPANY CULTURE

And we will end with some great ground rules that apply when it comes to planning activities for your people.

Don’t force the business or corporate stuff
Ditch the company picnic
Keep that positive energy going when you get back

It all depends on your objective and purpose. Therefore, there is no hard and fast rule to the routine of carrying out a team activity. But there might be a few good indicators on when to conduct a team bonding exercise, which are:

When a new member or two has joined the team.
At the end of the summer, before the beginning of the new school year
When you are trying to focus on a specific team issue or trying to improve a certain team aspect.
When you are hosting a team meeting.

Be sure to check out our podcast webpage at Peake Creative for a list of some great team-building ideas.

Hopefully, in this episode, you found some insight into why team building is an important investment in your business and essential to chaos control. How do you know you’ve gotten team building right? If there was laughter, a sense of excitement and accomplishment, and maybe a few Instagram moments, you’re definitely on the right track! Take care and have a great week!

Today’s episode is super simple and straight to the point. 3 Easy Ways to Control the Chaos, Simplify, and Spring Clean Your Life. I am going to share with you the 3 things I use often in my business and life to help me control the chaos and find more time to spend on the things that I value most.

Eliminate the “badge of honor” thinking that we can be held hostage too. The thinking that we must find ways to balance the chaos of our fast-paced lives. Being told that we will feel accomplished for having emerged from under multiple deadlines and major challenges while finding time to live a life that seems happy and fulfilled. After all, it’s all documented right there on social media, right?

Instead of trying to “win” at the game of life, what if we decided to actually sit out the rat race and focus on ways to simplify our lives? We know that it is probably a lot healthier to exercise outdoors than run in place on what can become the hamster wheel of life.

We do have a choice. We often let the overwhelm of our demands steal that choice from us. We can choose to say no to working late all the time. We can ask for carpool help more often, we can find meals that our kiddos can make on their own, we can expect more from our husbands or partners, not feeling like we have to do it all ourselves.

If you’ve been feeling weighed down with the demands of life, instead of trying to figure out how to make it all work, maybe try to look for things you can take off your plate. To-dos you can remove altogether. With these 3 easy, small changes, you might be surprised by how much more time you have on your hands.

Simplify Your Goals & To-Do List
Eliminate Unnecessary Stuff
Assess the Value of Your Time

How to Plant the Seeds of An Abundance Mindset to Ensure Success

The seeds we plant in our minds play a key role in determining how and if success will grow from those planted seeds. Our mindset becomes the lens through which we set our goals for the future. It directly impacts our ability to control the chaos and to grow our success. It is in our nature to make assumptions. To take whatever we experienced in the past and allow it to shape how we see the future. And this affects how we set our goals for the future.

Our mindset can make a major impact on the course of how we live our lives. Oftentimes we allow what we believe or expect to influence our reality of what is possible. This can have both positive and negative consequences. It comes down to two ways of thinking: scarcity thinking or abundance thinking.

We go into more detail about planting the seeds of abundance in your life helping you create more success with Deepak Chopra’s 10 ways to create an abundance mindset.

Recognize the Power of Your Thoughts
Practice Gratitude
Believe the Sky’s the Limit
Cultivate and Share Your Passions and Purpose
Develop Mastery Experiences
Pick Your Words Wisely
Build Beyond a Growth Mindset
Think Like a Beginner
Notice the Good!
Speak Daily Abundance Affirmations

While it may not be completely natural at first, you can begin to create an abundance mindset and live a meaningful life and find more success by taking consistent action. As you expand your awareness and notice any scarcity thoughts that might arise, use these action steps to tap into your own depth of abundance thinking and create more success.

You can do it in just 3 simple steps:
The Plan & Budget

Successful business owners and managers have more freedom because they get things done by knowing how and when to effectively delegate. Being able to use your team wisely makes both you and your team far better.

Controlling the chaos begins with building and trusting your team by working with them to identify areas of individual growth that results in added support and freedom for you.

You are going to learn a productive process for identifying the key members of your team and training them to support you in running a successful business.

I created the Delegation Roadmap to help me understand 6 types of Early Childhood business tasks and then identify who would be best suited to delegate those tasks to. Once the system is in place, it becomes easier with every task that arises.

When you see this you are never again going to have to worry about getting stuck in all of that work that you can't stand, that you're really not good at, that is holding you back from doing the work you love, keeping you from the work that allows you to make a difference in the lives of others, and keeping you from being the CEO and Visionary in your business that you were meant to be.

But when you put in a little extra time and effort to build a quality team, those unexpected fires and stressful moments start to diminish and there are others who can now step in to handle them so you are not doing so all of the time. This allows you to take back more of your time to focus on things you want to do.

Episode 2 - The Benefits of Delegating

Is your delegation not leading to perfect results? In episode 2, you’ll learn to discover a foolproof way of delegating for perfect results.

Discover the secret sauce of delegation.
Spend less time communicating what you want done.
Get the results you want every time.

Today we are going to talk about something that most EC business entrepreneurs and managers need to do most but seem to always avoid… delegating. The, “I can do it better and easier myself,” attitude gets you nowhere fast. Things can get hard at times. It can feel overwhelming with so much work, and sometimes you have to get scrappy, push yourself, and do things that you don’t like doing. Like, ask for help!

We will discuss how to find the key activities only you can do or should be doing, you should filter your remaining tasks through 4 zones. By doing so you’ll see exactly what tasks need to be delegated off your list.

We will go over the 6 steps taken to delegate properly. And as a leader, whenever you delegate a task, you need to make it clear what level of authority you are conferring on others. Your job is to let them know exactly how much rope you're giving them. We will discuss the 5 Levels of Delegation.

Buying back your time will simply allow you to become free to focus on the things that really matter, your top priorities, your key relationships, your most important projects, all the things that will bring your business more success. We will share with you one of my favorite tools, Delegating Worksheets, and walk you through the process.

Delegating empowers your team, builds trust, and assists with professional development. Of course, delegating tasks can lighten your workload, but delegating does much more than just get stuff off your plate.
