We spend so much time watching what everyone else is doing that we forget to focus on the one business that actually pays our bills... our own.

In this episode, we're talking about the trap of constantly comparing yourself to competitors, getting caught up in industry drama, chasing every trend, and letting other people's decisions distract you from your own goals. Because the truth is, every minute you spend worrying about someone else's business is a minute you're not improving your own.

If you've ever found yourself frustrated by what another business is charging, posting or achieving, this episode is the reminder you probably need. Put the blinkers back on, get back to work, and focus on the things that actually move your business forward.

This weeks episode is going to highlight and explain the differences between the business owner who has the capacity to generate $60,000 in a year vs those exceeding $200,000

The differences might surprise you. You probably think those making over 200 are working 10x as hard as you, or got lucky, or just have figured out the secret.

It’s actually none of the above, and allow me to enlighten you.

I hope this episode inspires you, resonates with you, and leaves you asking yourselves many questions

I would love to work with you and help you get past this 60k (or less) mentality. You can find me on Instagram @petindustrymentor or at www.petindustrymentor.com

Ever wondered what it's actually like to work with a business mentor?

In this episode, I sit down with one of my mentor clients for a completely honest conversation about her experience inside Pet Business Mastery.

We chat about where she was before we started working together, the challenges she was facing, the mindset shifts that made the biggest difference, and the practical changes she's made in her business along the way.

Rather than hearing it from me, this episode gives you the opportunity to hear directly from someone who's been through the process. We talk about the wins, the moments that felt uncomfortable, the support she received, and why having someone in your corner can completely change the way you approach your business.

If you've been wondering whether mentoring is right for you, or you're feeling stuck and unsure of your next move, I hope this conversation gives you a genuine insight into what coaching together looks like.

In this episode we cover:

- What life and business looked like before mentoring.

- The biggest challenges she was facing.

- The changes she's made since joining.

- Mindset shifts that created momentum.

- The value of accountability and support.

- Advice for anyone considering investing in themselves.

If this episode resonates with you and you've been thinking about getting support in your own pet business, I'd love to have a chat. You can learn more about my mentoring programs or send me a message through my website or social media @petindustrymentor on Instagram or www.petindustrymentor.com

If you enjoyed this episode, I'd really appreciate it if you could follow the podcast and leave a review. It helps more pet business owners discover the show and build businesses that support the life they actually want.

Underpricing is one of the most common challenges I see across the pet industry, and unfortunately it's also one of the quickest ways to create burnout, stress and financial pressure.

In this episode, we're diving into the real cost of charging too little for your services, why being busy doesn't always mean being profitable, and how underpricing impacts everything from your wages and team culture through to your ability to grow, invest and actually enjoy the business you've worked so hard to build.

We'll unpack some of the reasons pet business owners stay stuck with outdated pricing, the warning signs that your prices may no longer be serving your business, and how to start looking at pricing through the lens of sustainability rather than fear.

Whether you're a groomer, dog walker, trainer, pet sitter, daycare owner or any other pet professional, this is a conversation that could completely change the way you view your numbers.

In this episode, I'm joined by dog behaviour specialist and author Sarah Rutten for a fascinating conversation about understanding our dogs beyond the labels we often give them.

We dive into the difference between human expectations and a dog's reality, exploring why so many behaviour challenges stem from misunderstandings rather than disobedience. Sarah explains what reactivity really is, why dogs react the way they do, and how owners can better recognise the emotions and experiences driving their dog's behaviour.

We also discuss fear-free and force-free training methods, why Sarah is so passionate about educating owners through compassion rather than punishment, and how changing our perspective can dramatically improve our relationship with our dogs.

Whether you have a reactive dog, are struggling with behaviour challenges, or simply want to better understand the way your dog experiences the world, this episode is packed with practical insights and valuable takeaways.

In this episode we cover:

• ​ What dog reactivity actually means
• ​ Common misconceptions about reactive dogs
• ​ Human expectations versus a dog's reality
• ​ Understanding the emotions behind behaviour
• ​ Fear-free and force-free training explained
• ​ How owners can better support anxious or overwhelmed dogs
• ​ Building trust and confidence through positive training methods
• ​ Creating a stronger relationship with your dog through understanding

If you've ever found yourself frustrated, confused or worried about your dog's behaviour, this conversation will help you see things from a completely different perspective.

This episode is for the business owners who are trying to build something long term while navigating an industry that can feel emotional, reactive and incredibly public online.

In this conversation, I talk about why professionalism online matters far more than most people realise, especially in the pet industry where trust is everything. Your social media presence is no longer just “personal”. For many clients, it becomes part of whether they feel safe handing over their animals, their house keys, and their trust.
