Survival Sally (or Sam) is in survival mode. She started with a dream to impact children and make a good living for herself. But because she’s literally trying to do it ALL – from scheduling staff, doing tours, payroll, licensing, even working in the kitchen and driving the bus – she is 110% overloaded. She has no time to work on marketing her center or reviewing her financials, so she’s on a treadmill of low to no profit (she may even be LOSING money every month) and no time to grow her enrollment. She is likely working 60-70 hours a week, not earning the income she dreamed about, burnt out, and lonely. She desperately wants time to work on her business and maximize her enrollment, so she can hire some office help and reduce her stress and overwhelm.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF YOU CAN SAY YES TO MOST OF THESE STATEMENTS:
• You are barely making ends meet and stress out about making payroll
• You would give anything for a regular paycheck
• You are under water financially and thinking about closing your doors
• You have moderate to severe under-enrollment
• Your family or marriage is suffering because you’re always at the
preschool
• You are a start-up who wants all the tools to be successful, right from
the start
WHAT YOU NEED MOST RIGHT NOW (IN THIS ORDER):
1. Revenue Growth & Stability. Your enrollment is likely less than 70% to capacity, or it has large fluctuations, so you are often (or always) worried about cash flow and covering your expenses. You need to focus on revenue first, so you can get out of survival mode, and into thrive mode. The way to do this is through the proven, repeatable enrollment and marketing system based on the Kris Murray methodology.
2. Basic Financial Management Skills. You may have a “head in the sand” mentality around business finances. You’re probably not reviewing and understanding your financials consistently, if at all. You need financial benchmarks and easy-to-understand “financial 101” training so you can manage cash flow and take a consistent paycheck. We’ll work with you to develop monthly financials and understand how to make decisions from them.
3. Better Staff Attendance, Retention, and Motivation. You try to be a good leader but sometimes it’s incredibly frustrating dealing with staff. Call-outs and illness are often killing your productivity. Every time a teacher quits, it causes stress and heartburn because you have to spend time in the classroom covering ratio. We’ll give you the foundational path for putting building blocks in place to shift your culture and hire more A-Players who stay.
