Ep 5 - Starting From Scratch? Here’s the Real Talk I Wish I Got


Listen Later

Starting a home-based dog grooming business? Feeling excited, overwhelmed, or wondering if you're even cut out for this? You're in the right place.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I wish I knew when I first started — the real, unfiltered truths that would’ve saved me stress, time, and self-doubt in those early days.

Whether you’re still in the “Googling everything at midnight” phase or just booked your first client, this is your friendly pep talk and permission slip to start small, go steady, and believe in your dream.


🐾 What You’ll Learn:

  • Why you don’t need to be an expert to get started


  • The power of starting small (and why that’s a good thing)


  • How to avoid the biggest mistake new groomers make when pricing


  • Why you shouldn’t try to figure everything out on your own


  • A gentle reminder that your dream is totally valid — even if it feels scary
