In today’s Hot Take Friday episode, I am slowing down a bit and sharing something personal. This week felt like the perfect time to pause, reflect, and talk honestly about what I am most thankful for inside DogCo right now. Running a relational business can be messy and beautiful all at once, and I wanted to bring you behind the scenes of what that looks like for me.

If you are growing a pet care company and feeling stuck, tired, or unsure of what comes next, I hope this episode encourages you to look at what is already working, who is already beside you, and why those relational anchors matter more than we sometimes admit.

This episode covers three things I am deeply grateful for, pulled directly from what I have experienced this year in DogCo.

✨ Key Takeaways

• Running a relational company is not always simple, but the richness it adds to your work is unmatched.

• Bringing on the right people changes the energy of your entire business and allows you to grow in new ways.

• Feeling aligned in your priorities, systems, and direction gives you the energy needed to scale to the next level.

• Growth does not happen by accident. When you are ready, the right support can change everything.

💛 A Note From Me

Thank you for being here. Whether you are a long time client, a DogCo Secrets listener, or someone who just found this podcast today, I am thankful for you. I am excited to finish this year strong and step boldly into the next one together.

Cheering you on,

Michelle
