405: Thriving Through an Emergency with Amy Sparrow


Listen Later

What kind of emergencies are you prepared for? While we may focus on natural disasters, lost pets, or medical emergencies, what about you? After going through a severe medical emergency, Amy Sparrow had to make drastic changes to her business, Fur Kid Sitting & Services. Amy shares how having a multi-year business plan allowed her to accelerate a brand new business structure. From growing a network, to addressing your personal risks, Amy stresses the importance of getting a plan in place today. She also explains why it's critical to give back to the community.

Main topics:

  • Building your network

  • Business planning

  • Planning ahead

  • Giving back

Main takeaway: A 'knock on wood' policy is one you hope to never use, but will be glad you have it if the need arises.

About our guest

Amy Sparrow is the president of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and owner of Furkid Sitting and Services. She began her business in 2013 to provide quality, loving care for animals in her community. Amy is a volunteer with a local animal rescue and has been fostering animals for over a decade. She understands the importance of providing continuity of care for both pets and their owners, and strives to create a stress-free environment for all her clients. When she's not caring for animals, you can find her cheering on her favorite sports team or spending time with her furkids and friends.
