The Paradox of Success in Education
Marina’s story is a striking example. She spent two years pursuing her dream of running a large education center. And finally, it happened! Three full classes, widespread recognition in the city, and a waiting list of students eager to enroll.

But instead of feeling joy, she felt overwhelmed:

  • How do you maintain quality with this many students?
  • Where do you find new teachers?
  • How do you keep up communication with all the parents?

Why "Getting What You Want" Is Just the Beginning
Milestones in educational business often feel like dreams realized:

  • Opening your first branch
  • Filling up a big class
  • Reaching profitability

But each achievement isn’t a finish line—it’s the start of a new phase.
A Real Example
"When we filled our first class of 15 students, it felt like the pinnacle of happiness! But then we realized we had to prove to parents every single day that their choice was the right one," recalls the manager of a CODDY branch in St. Petersburg.

How CODDY Prepares Franchisees for Success
1. Teaching the Bigger Picture

It’s not just about "opening a school." You need to grasp the full scope:

  • Quality management systems
  • Team leadership
  • Effective communication with parents
  • Continuous growth and improvement

2. Building Sustainable Processes

One successful branch story stands out:

"At first, I tried to control everything myself. But the CODDY team helped me set up processes so the center could run smoothly without my constant involvement."

3. Supporting Every Step of the Way

  • Comprehensive initial training
  • Regular consultations
  • Assistance in problem-solving
  • Peer learning with other branch owners

How to Set the Right Goals in Education
Instead of saying, "I want 100 students," think:

  • "Is my team ready to handle this number of kids?"
  • "What systems do I need to support this growth?"

Rather than stating, "I want 5 branches," ask yourself:

  • "How will I maintain the same high quality at all locations?"
  • "Who will manage each branch?"
