How far does your loyalty to clients go?

[Crayola kiddies]

See I don't take school age and therefore don't do school runs .... And I also don't take on part time unless it's an existing family going on mat leave .... And it's not a get Em before they get me attitude it's looking out for the profitability if my business ... Because if my business is not profitable then I can do it and then everyone is out care ..... And when I have my third child in daycare it was pt and I was termed because I was pt but it was purely a business decision and my old care provider and I have been good friends ever since .... Gave me lots of tips and suggestions for when I opened my day home ..... So it's not always a bad thing however I know it's not every body's way !

This is exactly how I feel. It bothers me that people make me feel bad for doing what is in my business' best interest by saying that it is a reflection on who I am and how it is bad practice. Everything I have experienced in the years that I have been in this biz where I have not put myself and my business needs first has resulted in a shortfall that has fallen upon me, not the parents so enough is enough. I am running a business and while this is a very personal line of work, successful business people aren't successful unless they put themselves first....making a very generalized statement here so don't misinterpret what I'm saying.
