To those of us that own and operate these homes, we get asked that question quite often. The answer is \u201cit depends\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know you, your background, what you\u2019ve done, what makes sense to you, what doesn\u2019t, or where your heart is at. I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re willing to do to make something happen. I do know you can do anything you want in life if you\u2019re willing to do it if you\u2019re committed to making it happen. If you\u2019re not truly committed and willing to do whatever it takes, at some point you\u2019re simply going to give up. Now I want you to think back to something where the first time you tried it, it was not easy at all and now it is as easy as \u201criding a bike.\u201d The 1st time was the hardest and after that, it became \u201ceasier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can \u201ctell\u201d you that it\u2019s easy, but when we can \u201cshow\u201d you how it is done, providing the \u201ccontext for the content\u201d that\u2019s what makes the difference for most people. Seeing IS believing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you learn about opening an Assisted Living home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you learn something new, you probably watched somebody else do it. It became easier and easier until the time where you can\u2019t forget it. It\u2019s muscle memory. And then the next time you do it, you\u2019ve got it down. Before you know it, you\u2019re making it look easy to somebody else. There\u2019s always effort that you have to put in. Out of the thousands of people that I\u2019ve had the privilege of training how to do what I do. I know that I\u2019ve helped them save time, effort, and money by learning what to do and what not to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best suggestions I could give you is to find somebody who\u2019s done whatever it is that you want to do and have them show you how to do it. They\u2019ll make it look easy of course but when you try it, it will be \u201charder\u201d than it looks. That\u2019s normal. If they are a great teacher they will be able to communicate what to do step by step. If they\u2019re willing to give you the key information, you will benefit greatly and speed up your process significantly. That is what a \u201cmentor\u201d can do to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you apply the knowledge they have shared with you and you come back and show them what you have done, they give you more information and they take you step by step through this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It now becomes easier for you to do it. The \u201cproof\u201d is in the pudding as they say. As a mentor, I know that someone has truly learned something when they can share the information with somebody else and show them how to do it successfully. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you make it look easy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is easy for me because I\u2019ve done it before. I was talking to some of our students that we\u2019ve trained and they were we were talking through the different steps to open their 1st home. Each one had challenges and needed help along the way. Some needed more than others but they all needed some assistance. Easy? It\u2019s never easy. But the second time is easier than the first time. That third time is easier than the second time, but it\u2019s never easy. &nbsp;I am truly a believer in education. I\u2019d much rather learn from your experience than mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can also subscribe to our iTunes for on the go listening:<br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48C-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48C-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48C-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48C-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48C-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48A-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48A-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48A-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48A-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48A-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48F-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48F-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48F-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48F-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/48F-1-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it easy to start an Assisted Living home?
