You may have been running your home care agency for 5 weeks or 5 years - it doesn’t matter. The reality is that most of us start out by recruiting 20 caregivers, and then finding new clients to give them work. It’s like the cat chasing the mouse, a constant juggling act of hiring and retaining caregivers, scheduling them to clients, and always prospecting for enough new clients to keep everyone busy, regardless of how long you have been doing it.
