During a workshop years ago I remember the instructor stating how surprised he was that the providers were so willing to share with each other. Now I don’t know about the other providers in the room, but I wasn’t surprised.

There are so many reasons we should think of each other as collaborators instead of competitors. I guess that’s why so many of us do form relationships with colleagues.

So today I want to talk about what might seem the most unlikely of friendships. I will show you how turning the competition into collaborators can not only help you grow your business but also develop a community of colleagues you can turn to as well. childcare competition into collaborators

Well, hold on there!

Before you do that Walmart thing and flip your prices down, let’s take a step back and really take a look at how to handle this issue without devaluing your services or business.

What’s the Plan for Your Childcare Next Year?

You know that old adage “Failing to plan is planning to fail”? Benjamin Franklin said that by the way. Well, I found that in most cases this is true. The fact is we get busy and if we haven’t made a plan for your childcare or at least written down our goals we tend to forget them.

In fairness, if you run a childcare you are a very busy person. So forgetting things especially if they are ideals or goals is very likely.

But it doesn’t have to be. We can take some time at the end of the year (like right now) and look forward to what we want to accomplish for the coming year.
