Dear Better Futures,

I am pleased to share some exciting news regarding my business endeavors. I received a call from (XXX Bank) regarding a second business account I opened while utilizing the Wave [Accounting] App. During our conversation, they proposed opening a line of credit for the business. Naturally, I inquired about the terms, including interest rates and other relevant details. I recently received confirmation via email that my application for a line of credit has been approved, amounting to $20,000. While this may seem modest, I have yet to make plans for its utilization. I already have a $16,000 line of credit with (XYX Bank), which I utilized for the playground project. I have $4,000 remaining to repay on this particular line of credit.

Additionally, I have secured a $10,000 credit card for business purposes. I have not used the credit card. I am compelled to share these developments as they coincide with my engagement with Better Futures. Your organization's guidance and support have been instrumental in empowering educators and entrepreneurs like myself to pursue such strategic financial opportunities.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support. Your commitment to empowering individuals in the educational and business sectors, including myself, is truly commendable.

"I Put Aside My Fears" 

"Thinking Outside the Box" 

I learned how to put aside my fears of speaking around others and accept my co-workers as family. I have allowed them to see me outside my comfort group and that's alot for me. 

- Tynita Parker, Washington, D.C.

Your workshop taught me to be patient, how to think outside the box and Team Building. Thank You.

Dear Better Futures,

As the Innovation Access and Impact Analysis project at North Central Michigan College wraps up, we would like to take a minute to thank you for supporting our work, specifically the child care businesses in Emmet County that you were able to serve. Thank you! Robert, it was wonderful to meet you and your team and understand more about the services Better Future provides. We heard from all of our child care business owners that they now see themselves as CEOs, not just child care providers/administrators (an important transition)! Jahi, thank you for your good work in helping child care businesses examine their bottom line and look at their work as a business. We hope that all of our CRAFT Lux members will take advantage of meeting with you one on one to discuss their budgets and funding needs. LaToya, thank you for your organization and energy in helping us all understand CRAFT Lux and getting ourselves centered at the workshops. We did hear from several of our child care businesses that they intend to participate in future monthly webinars. Keep up the good work! In closing, thank you all for your partnership! We look forward to our paths crossing again in the future!

"I Wish it Were Longer" 

"This Workshop was More Personal" 

I wish it was longer! But it was understandable that it couldn't be. Just so much to cover! I loved that all three of you were able to give us advice & education. I also love all the resources we now have access to!

- Chelsea Tarvainen, North Central Michigan College

This workshop was more personal than a conference so scheduling in time for more discussion is needed in order to cover all the intended content. Enthusiasm of the instructors (engaged participants), the practical information shared in a direct, yet kind manner.

- Jennifer Wixson, North Central Michigan College

"I Am Dazzled and Amazed" 

"Thank You, Thank You, Thank You" 

I am dazzled and amazed at the level of impact this cohort has been on me, my program, my community and will continue to have in the future as I continue to mentor others. This was an amazing and impactful investment that should continue. Thank you NPLI, NAFCC and Better Futures including our other two partners too!

Jahi I met you over 2 years ago in New Orleans (NAFCC Annual Conference) ... but within those 2 years I have written down everything I've learned from each of his classes, and within the 2 years I have accomplished amazing things from investing in IRA, Savings, and especially the part of knowing how much my company makes and how much is expensed out. With Better Futures and Jahi Davis, I am on my way to a financial position I have never been in since I opened my daycare, and with that I say thank you,  thank you, thank you!

- Patricia McGrue, Birmingham, AL
 

Thank you so much for your support of the 2023 Greatness Grows Here - An Early Childhood Conference for Parents, Caregivers, and Early Childhood Professionals. Your contribution as a workshop presenter was a key to the success of the conference! We had over 300 child care professionals and parents/guardians registered for the conference, and the feedback we received that day was overwhelmingly positive. We appreciate your willingness to participate and share your passion and commitment for the early childhood community.

"We Purchased Our Building" 

"Invite Colleagues" 

"I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with you two and Better Futures. Your advice and knowledge have been a game changer for The Magic Years. With your help we were able to purchase our building. For this, we will be forever grateful for making one of our dreams come true.

- Antoinette Cooper, Philadelphia, PA
 

I'm very likely to invite colleagues to experience the workshops and trainings provided by Better Future because of the quality and enthusiasm of the trainers. The topics were great to choose from and information was well presented.

"Brought Out The Best In Every One" 

I wanted to say that you both resonated with myself and the staff here at US Kids Child Development Center, the training was AWESOME! We didn't expect so much interaction with each other. Better Futures brought out the best in each and every one of us. Communication in our center hasn't been the best due to mostly us not knowing each other. We got to work in groups and explored to obtain goals for the center...I can say we are talking more to one another and focusing on the children and families. 

- Rozalind Ferguson, Washington, D.C.

"Achieve Greater Effectiveness" 

I appreciate the many contributions provided by you and your team at Better Futures.  The experience has been profound in helping us achieve greater effectiveness with our marketing and messaging...So, in summary, a big thank you to the Better Futures team for your mindfulness and giving me growth-space in which to succeed.

I LOVED the way Jahi explained everything. It was easy to understand and not 'over my head.' I've never met anyone who could explain it better! 

- Maureen Daigle, Boston, MA

"Feeling Renewed and Confident" 

"I have been working with Better Futures, LLC for less than a month, and as a family child care business owner, immediately I am noticing remarkable improvements in how I run my operation. Prior to working with BF, I did not have any systems in place to assist me in taking my business to the next level. The most impressionable change that I have made thus far, directly impacts my parents. My parents are now able to pay tuition from anywhere with the click of a button. My parents are in LOVE with the new way of paying of tuition! I can not believe, that I no longer have to hand write tuition receipts. With the accounting tools implemented into my program, I am feeling renewed and confident in my business and my accounting system, thanks to Better Futures."

- Angela Jones, Cordova, TN

"You Gave Me a Push" 

"I was at the Starting Point Leadership Conference in Cleveland Ohio.  
I stood up in the last class to talk about the owner I was working for...
I am glad to let you know I am no longer there....thank God!!!   Thank you so much for your help. I am an administrator of a better program!!
With this all said...you gave me a push to really pursue a program that my heart is in and has not yet really made its way to the Cleveland area...... A Nature Preschool.   

- Wendy Norris, Cleveland, OH
