Gender discrimination is part of the discussion today.  Many of we Boomers might recognize the theme of Deb Curtis' stories… only hers are from the 1990s and later, not the 1960s or 70s! Deb took all she learned over her 30-year career however, and built a small business supporting other women looking to acquire a small business, especially women of diverse groups.  The wisdom of women-owned business can be found in many developing nations – why not the US?  Deb has some great insights into the issue… I got to thinking she could be a policy advisor to whoever write the rules!  And she explains the process of small business acquisition loans. If you're a Boomer who's thinking of retiring from your small business, Deb discusses that at some length too… think “succession plan”.  Or… perhaps you're a Boomer looking to buy a business for that ‘next chapter'! Deb closes with a dream for the future where equity and diversity and inclusion are facts of life.

@DebCurtis is on a mission to grow small business ownership. She has rich experience lending to small businesses. This experience spans big banks, regional banks, non-banks, and community banks. She's the founder of @curtissmallbusinessfinancesolutions  a @smallbusinessadministration lending specialist. The SBA loan guarantee scheme enables businesses to be purchased with finance against the cash flow of the business. It's an innovative scheme that makes small business ownership more obtainable and helps drive higher rates of business transition.    In our discussion we cover:how the scheme:helps business buyersallows existing baby-boomer business owners to more easily sell their business or retire by enabling a qualified buyer to take over without the worries of finding 'traditional' financing collateral i.e. personal real estateenables lenders to fund businesses that have variable cash flowthe application process for getting approved and criteria for getting qualifiedwhy it's so challenging to fund small businesses in Australia due to feasibility differences compared with medium or large businesseswhat owners need to do in order to maximise their chances of successful fundingwhy we need to support small businesses as important factors in our local economieswhy with such limited options for cash flow lending and lending to small business generally there's a need for a similar scheme in Australiahow to promote an environment that enables individuals to buy an established business through government policy initiatives to continue to grow the next generation of small business owners

IFIO stands for Intimacy from the Inside out, and it is the 'couples division' of IFS.

This week’s Weekend Extra is with Deb Curtis and Pastor Jeff Bogue. The Weekend Extra is a podcast that deals with topics and questions about the Weekend message. It offers different thoughts, topics and insights that cannot be covered in the conversation of the weekend.

In this inspirational episode, we hear from Kris’s very first client Alison Pfeister and her daughter Alexandra Kroon. Their school, the TLC Academy for Young Children in Hudson, Ohio is a family owned business, founded by Alison and her husband in 1989 after the birth of Alexandra, who now serves as the director. Alison shares the story of how TLC continues to be successful after many years, highlights of her journey as an early child care business owner, and provides resources and inspiration for building a culture of play, respect, and transparency.   Key Takeaways: [2:52] Big announcement — the company name has changed! Instead of Child Care Marketing Solutions, it is now the Child Care Success Company. Kris couldn’t be more excited for the rebrand and it fits the mission and vision perfectly. [13:06] Kent and Alison decided to create their own child development center that would provide the best in care and education. They couldn’t find any they felt 100% certain about, so they put their careers on hold and renovated a church. They opened TLC in March of 1990. Their daughter Alexandra was the first baby, and now she is the Director. They used her as the standard and now it’s come three generations in with Alexandra’s children attending the school. [15:19] Usually the cycle of enrollment tightly follows employment and jobs in this country. That is a major reason why schools must work hard to become recession-proof and build the strength of their business. [16:02] TLC is at 75-80 max capacity with a high retention rate, and it has been almost 30 years since the doors of TLC first sprang open, but the motto remains the same: The best is the least we can do for your child. [22:51] Kris and her team’s vision is to make a difference in the lives of one million children. They are in the process of tracking exactly how many, but they think they’ve touched 750,000 children so far. Pretty close! [28:24] Yes, there is a mud kitchen at TLC! Along with a garden, components of an outdoor classroom, a Farm-to-Table program and walking field trips. Experiential learning is very important and they like to foster a connection with nature. [33:46] At TLC, they encourage teachers to remember that each child is different and it’s important to be flexible when coming up with solutions. [36:11] Consistency in training is important, and letting the teachers feel heard is one of the ways they can keep them healthy and happy. TLC also offers professional development, organizational structure, and the blessing to grow and learn if they need to experience something even bigger. [42:43] To Alison and Alexandra, being a child care rockstar is someone that has the ability to create safety for the children and the patience and dedication to develop a bond with both the kids and parents. [48:45] College programs with young ECE students are often great resources for student teachers.   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray The Child Care Success Company Child Care Success Academy Child Care Success Summit Janet Lansbury Ohio Voices for Learning Kent State Designs for Living and Learning: Transforming Early Childhood Environments, by Deb Curtis and Margie Carter TLC Academy
