Running a group home is a big job — but it doesn’t have to be hard! With a few simple habits each week and month, you can keep things running smoothly and stay stress-free.
🗓 Your Weekly CEO Hour
Every week, take one hour just for you — your “CEO Hour.” This is time to check in on your business, not just work inside it.
Here’s what to do during that hour:
Look at your bank accounts and make sure rent has been paid.
Log in to RentRedi to check payments.
Answer any messages or emails.
Check your virtual mailbox for important mail.
Pay your bills, like utilities and internet.
Update your marketing posts if a room is full or open.
Doing this each week keeps you in control and helps you spot small problems before they get big.
💬 Why This Matters
When you’re busy, it’s easy to just react to things all day. But when you plan and review each week, you make smarter choices. And remember — always keep marketing your home, even when it’s full! The more people who know about your home, the easier it is to fill a spot later.
🗓 Monthly Actions
Once a month, add these extra steps:
Check supplies. See what you need or ask your manager. Order more from stores like Sam’s Club or Costco.
Move your money. Move money into three accounts:
Profit (2%)
Taxes (15%)
Owner’s pay (30%)
Pay your bills. Split them between two days a month to stay organized.
Check petty cash. Make sure you still have enough for small items or repairs.
💡 Tip: Use a checklist or spreadsheet so you don’t forget anything.
🧡 Final Thought
Being the CEO of your group home means staying steady and consistent. When you stick to your weekly and monthly habits, your home runs like a business — calm, clear, and strong. Start small, stay organized, and you’ll feel more confident every week!
