Genevieve has a pet sitting and dog walking business in Indiana and she’s recently added the service of pet wedding attendant to her pet services.

She is trying to figure out when is the right time to hire staff. She’s also feeling like she should do some tasks in her business, but she does want to because these tasks drain her energy. Money is also a concern and is an important consideration to keep in mind for both of her challenges.

In this pet sitting coaching session, you’ll hear us tease out when could be the right time to hire and what tasks to delegate as the pet sitting and dog walking business begins to expand and grow. 

Even if you have a dog training, pet grooming, dog daycare business or other pet business, you may learn something from Genevieve’s predicament and this coaching session.

Today’s coaching client is Randye, a pet business owner in Pennsylvania who is pivoting her .. business to create a totally different type of service: she wants to create a mobile cat nail trimming business. 

The good news: she has no competitors in her area and in the past she created a successful service-based pet business. 

The challenge: This is a brand-new service in her area cat owners are not even aware of exists. Many of the cat owners she may be trying to reach are likely having their cat’s nails cut by a groomer or vet – or they are doing it themselves. It’s also a very different type of service than her prior business, so that requires a different start up strategy. But, more good news: Randye is motivated, passionate and ready to do the work to start and grow her new business! 

If you’d like to add a new service to your current business, or you’re thinking about starting a brand-new pet business, this episode will help you.

If you’re struggling to make money and/or you’ve got a scarcity mindset that is making you feel hopeless about your financial future (example: “there’s not enough”, “I can’t earn enough”, “I’ll never earn enough”, etc.), or you just want to give yourself a leg up when it comes to improving your financial situation, affirmations can help!

Affirmations are an empowering way to reprogram the brain and get the neuropathways in a groove that is more in alignment with what you want, rather than what you may be telling yourself with negative thought loops. 

It can take 21 days to build a habit or strengthen mental muscles, so I encourage you to say affirmations every day for 3 weeks. 

Affirmations can also help motivate actions so notice and act on any inspired actions that may come to mind as you build this 21-day “healthy relationship to money” habit.

If you’ve got pet business burnout, this is the episode to listen to!

Heather Gibson, from Big Hearted Breeders, interviewed me for her Pet Breeder Summit and this is the interview.

I overcame burnout in my own pet business and built a pet business that allowed me to have lots of time off and even travel extensively –I spent many months in Bali and India!

Even if travel isn’t something you’re itching to do, you may want some time off to have fun with your family and friends, take a break from your business or even a sabbatical, or plan your maternity or paternity leave so you can spend precious time with your new baby.

That dream of a pet business, promising a life of freedom? Yeah, it probably didn’t pan out exactly as planned, did it? More hours, less you-time? You’re not alone if you can relate to that.

If the daily grind of running your pet biz is suffocating your initial vision of a flexible life, and you’re longing for that promised freedom, listen up.

Mikaela Vargas from the Pet Marketing Unleashed podcast recently sat down with me to talk about how I went from working 7 days a week to living abroad for months at a time and not working at all! 

I overcame burnout in my own venture and built a business that allowed me to travel extensively –many months in Bali and India! Now, you can hear me share how I did it so you can do the same.

Even if travel isn’t your jam, you may want some time off to have fun with your family and friends, take a much-needed vacation or sabbatical, or plan your maternity leave so you can spend precious time with your new little one. 

Here’s what we dove into:

• Building a self-sustaining business: How to create a system that thrives even when you’re not there.

• Team dynamics: Finding and hiring the ideal team to bring your vision to life.

• The power of SOPs: Essential Standard Operating Procedures that every pet business needs to function smoothly.

• Preparing for your absence: Steps to take to ensure a seamless transition for both your business and your clients.

• Readiness indicators: Key metrics that reveal when your business is truly ready for you to step back.

• Mindset adjustments: How to let go of control and delegate effectively.

Whether you’re picturing globe-trotting adventures, reclaiming your weekends, planning for a life event including having a baby or going back to school, or simply craving more personal time, this episode is for you.

This episode is different from the pet business coaching sessions you’re used to hearing lately on this podcast! 

Today’s episode is about how affirmations can help your pet business. 

Whether you’ve never done affirmations before (and maybe you even think they are a bunch of hokey woo-woo) or you used to say affirmations, but it’s been a while, what I have to share with you today contains some visual proof of how our words and thoughts impact things (including your business).  

You can see the results of the experiment I did on the show notes page. 

Please note: I encourage you to listen to the episode first before clicking the show notes page below to see the experiment pictures. It’ll be worth the wait, I promise.

Brooke is a long-time pet business owner who has a large pet sitting and dog walking business in Los Angeles.

She no longer does the pet sitting and dog walking visits herself; she has a large team of staff to help her.

One of the challenges Brooke is currently struggling with is how to get new clients. She used to get a lot of new client requests but lately she hardly gets any inquiries from new clients. Understandably this is causing her stress and strain!

In this episode she will learn how to revamp her marketing including how to implement some low-cost and no-cost marketing methods to get new clients. She’ll also learn some actions she needs to take to ensure she doesn’t get into this feast or famine mode again in the future.
