Running a B&B

Here's To Your Profitable Bed And Breakfast Running a B&B A lot of work goes into running a B&B. More bed and breakfasts exist than we may really realize. The majority of these tend to be operated by a couple after the kids have left home. Some are full time establishments that cater to the tourist crowd. They make most of their money off of vacationers needing a nice place to stay. Running a B&B doesn’t have to be a full time venture though. Some people rent the spare rooms in their home to college and university students needing a place to stay or the newcomer to town who does not yet have a place to live. There is a bit of a catch concerning running a B&B. Many hotels are now labelling themselves that way to give a more homey and comfortable image. This is a misconception. When people are looking for a bed and breakfast to stay in they are generally looking for a temporary home. You will have to embody this atmosphere if you wish to have true success running a B&B. If you plan to go full time you had better be prepared to spend most of your waking hours involved in the operation for the first year or two. Keeping your home clean, planning and preparing the menu choices and staff management are just a few of the things that will keep you going. However, when you meet the people who want to stay in your house it will be all worth it. You will never find yourself alone for long, especially in the tourist seasons. Running a B&B is hard work yet it can be so rewarding for the owners.

It is sad that many unsuspecting new B&B operators don't know a few little things that could mean the difference between a "No Vacancy" sign or a "For Sale" sign on their front lawn!

If you have a bed and breakfast for sale you just might have a lot of work on your hands. Some people are under the assumption that selling a business is easier than buying one. This fails to be true in many situations. In the bed and breakfast industry you can’t simply sell all the problems that arise. (read the complete b&b article.)

Readers Comments Hello Farnhams Your book has helped us. We have been working very hard for years and decided it was time to sell. Your ebook has given us some ideas on how we can stay here (we really love it). We decided to give it a try and see if we can arrange things so we don't have to do ALL the work. We've already started. We hired a young high school student to help us with some of the technology things. The last two months our reservation rate improved dramatically. This month we are hiring our second staff member to help with the cleaning. And, we are still paying the bills (with a few bucks left over!) We are grateful Ken and Margaret S.
