Want to be an achiever? One of the best things you can do is to emulate those successful people you admire the most. What is it that makes them stand out from the crowd? We take a look at habits that you can adopt which will help you succeed with your education franchise business.
Make a List, Check it Twice
Goal setting is your roadmap to success. If you don’t know where you are going, you’re never going to get anywhere. Start with those big dreams and grand schemes. Decide exactly where you are going to take your tutoring business and precisely what it means to own a profitable franchise.
Next, set shorter-term goals that include 5-year, 1-year, 6-month and 3-month targets so your grand schemes don’t seem so imposing. Having a home tutoring business means you captain your own ship, so start each day with a list of things you would like to accomplish. This will mean you get less distracted by emails, phone calls and the daily disruptions that draw us away from productivity.
Define Success
Does success mean owning a profitable education franchise, having a healthy work/life balance or making a difference in the lives of the families you help through your home tutoring business? Perhaps it means all of these things to you. Defining what success means for you will help you to keep perspective and your eye on the prize.
Sweat the Small Stuff
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,” Maya Angelou. When you own a tutoring business, your customer service is what determines your success. When families know you care, when parents feel that their child’s future is in good hands, when tutors feel appreciated; you will turn loyal customers into raving fans.
As a Tutor Doctor franchise owner, you are encouraged to care, to contribute to the community you live in and to participate in community events. Take time each day to show appreciation to those vendors, tutors and clients who are doing a good job.
Focus
When you buy an education franchise, you have to wear many hats. It’s easy to get distracted and overwhelmed. Limit your email and social media times to twice a day so you have time to focus on your goals. You’ll be surprised how efficient you get at answering emails and dealing with social media when you set an hour aside for them.
