WHY STARTING A DAY CARE MAKES SENSE BR>
So, you already know what you hate your thankless job, ungrateful, uncaring boss, the grinding commute for hours, not spending time with your kids and the breathtaking pain you feel leaving them crying at a day care every day. You feel so trapped and paralysed by financial constraints yet can't see a way out of the rat race. Worse still, you can't ever shake the guilt and sorrow you feel at not watching your kids grow and develop during those formative years, not knowing what's happening to them in their little, daily lives.
Despair no more because there is an escape route and it is a lot more tangible than you would believe. It is possible to stay home with your kids and replace your income whilst cutting your expenses by starting your own home day care. "Surely it's not possible to match my current wage" I hear you holler. "Basic math" is my response. Take a fairly average monthly salary of $2800 gross.Gross Income $2800
Minus Taxes $ 800
Minus Gas $ 150
Minus Day Care Costs $ 550
Minus General Expenses $ 300
Net Income $1000
You would need to make $1000 per month to replace your existing wage with home day care income - bottomline. In order to achieve your goal you will need two full time children based on an average cost per month of $500 per child for day care. Not exactly formidable? You can also decrease your tax bill substantially by offsetting a lot of your necessary household expenses against your business profits. Considerable amounts of money can be saved through fastidious bookkeeping.
I have brought it down to the simplest terms so you can see exactly what being employed is costing you both spiritually and financially hence the above example. Our conditioning is such that employment is the norm and those who attempt to become entrepreneurs are either dreamers or risk takers. However, now you can see how the dream of self employment is easily within your grasp by starting a home day care.
The benefits are immense and immediate. You are active and having fun doing something worthwhile, you make the rules and control your days and quality family time becomes a given. Using my Start a Child Care Business DVD Guide www.startchildcare.com you have the benefit of my experience and knowledge to get you started now (I've done the research, made the mistakes, I know what works) plus you get the paperwork package FREE so you don't even have to deal with that. Do you even have to think about it anymore??
