How do you stay in the moment with your business? After only providing nail trims to meet the needs of her community, Gricel Arroyo has experienced rapid growth and is about to make the leap to full-time. As such, she's caught between knowing she wants to grow and expand, but also trying to run the business she has. Gricel balances the growth and social media by keeping it in perspective and working towards her goals. She shares with us what her growth has been like, and how she stays transparent with her clients about her business.

Topics on this episode:

Keeping up with demand
Transparency
Using social media
Staying the moment

Main take away? Being content with your business doesn't mean you're not trying to grow. It means you're embracing what you can do today, while planning your growth for tomorrow.

About our guest:

My name is Gricel Arroyo and I began my journey as the proud owner of Arroyo Pet January of 2021. My primary focus then and now-protecting pets by providing professional hygienic mobile/at-home services. My business idea came about due to covid-19. I wanted to help my community members who were struggling with caring for their pets during a pandemic and have not stopped since. I have 4.5 years of veterinary experience and I attended Illinois state University, graduating with a bachelors in Animal Science. Not only am I running a small business, I am also working a full-time job while I grow Arroyo Pet. This past year has been an incredible experience and I have no doubt things will be amazing for me next year! I am also proud dog owner of a gentle 9 year old Golden Retriever named "Zeus" and a spontaneous 3 year old dachshund mix rescued from Ecuador named "Salinas".
