We'sve all heard the news - hundreds of thousands of men and women are getting laid off in the United States, and it'ss been widely reported that many of them are considering opening their own child care business in their home.A home-based child care business is a great way to earn a mid-to-high 5-figure income and be able to stay home with your kids.
The problem is that many of these 'snewbies's may not realize what huge mistakes might be in store for them, if they don'st do the right research and take the right steps to be
successful, says Kris Murray, expert business coach for child care owners and entrepreneurs.
According to Ms. Murray, who has helped thousands of people start a child care business, here are the 7 big mistakes to avoid in order to be successful in child care:
1. Not doing the right research
2. Not having the right liability protection
3. Not charging the right fees
4. Not having a policy handbook and contract in place
5. Not understanding how to market your business
6. Not utilizing the free resources in your area
7. Not getting licensed or certified by your state
It'ss very exciting to be able to help parents stay home with their kids and make a good living, especially in this economy. I love helping people avoid the mistakes and pitfalls they
often make when trying to figure it out on their own, she adds. Kris offers a start-up system along with coaching sessions and teleseminars, exclusively for child care business owners.
