Becoming a franchise owner is a big milestone in anyone’s professional life. While officially signing a franchise agreement and leasing or buying a franchise location is a major step, it’s really just the beginning of a very exciting process. When you choose to become part of All About Kids as a franchise owner, you will get support all along the way. We have a robust training and support program that covers everything from meeting all necessary specifications as a LEED-certified green childcare center to optimizing classroom layout and staff recruitment. With the help of our training and support program, you’ll have everything needed to find lasting success as a franchise owner.

Although we’re very proud of everything we invest in our owners’ success, franchises are businesses. That’s why no discussion about them would be complete without covering potential obstacles, which is exactly what we want to look at now:

Losing Sight of Customers

If you look across the franchise industry as a whole, one of the most common mistakes you’ll see owners making is losing sight of what their customers want. While being a franchise owner does come with a lot of freedom and autonomy, it’s vital to put customers first. At All About Kids, we understand that parents are looking for learning centers instead of just daycare facilities. By keeping our focus on instilling a lifelong love of learning in children since we began operations in 2008, our corporate team and owners have flourished as leaders in the childcare industry.

Lack of Consistency

The next mistake that franchise owners across a wide range of sectors make is underestimating the importance of consistency. While it’s normal for certain stages in a business to require more effort than other times, it’s important for owners to stay engaged with their franchise. By understanding that business success comes from ongoing improvement and staying on top of the priorities that matter most, franchise owners can keep all of their most important metrics moving in the right direction.

Focusing on the Wrong Things

This mistake directly relates to the importance of focusing on customers. Owners who don’t make it a priority to always serve their customers or find the best people for their team can get distracted from what’s actually going to move the needle for their franchise. The same is true when owners get too focused on working in their business and forget about the importance of working on it.

As with any type of business opportunity, there are challenges that go along with running a successful franchise. But by choosing All About Kids, you will always have the training and support needed to stay on the right track.
