What really down at a pet business mastermind? What even IS a pet business mastermind? And would a mastermind benefit you and your business? 

All great questions that will be revealed in this episode. 

A Mastermind is unlike any other kind of coaching program. Anyone who has achieved any kind of success in business, sport and entertainment will tell you they didn't do it alone, and had excellent mentors who help them speed up thier own success journey. 

Joining a mastermind can be a great way to get in depth help and support with your business challenges. It's hard work. It requires a commitment, but the rewards can be spectacular. Billionaire steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie credited his entire fortune to his mastermind group – he inspired author Napoleon Hill to create the term in his 1937 book Think and Grow Rich. 

If you find the right group you'll achieve more than you ever thought possible

So, in this weeks podcast I thought I would give you a peak behind the curtain at one of my Elite Pet Business Mastermind Meetings. 

You'll hear from my top performers - sometimes straight from their hotseat - about what they get out of the mastermind experience. I have dog trainers, dog walkers, doggy daycare owners, dog groomers and pet therspists in my mastermind

This is essential listening for any six-figure plus service based pet business owner who feels alone, overwhelmed and lacking clarity about what to do next to move your business forward.

P.S. Beware the fake pet business online mastermind ran by social media gooroos, which are more like a mothers meeting where the attendees share each others blogs and buy each others courses. 

In this weeks episode I'm sharing an exclusive look behind the scenes at what happens inside my pet business coaching program. 

You'll hear from The Doggy Doctor - Carol Clark, Queen of the Fields - Katie Guastapaglia, The Spaniel Guru - Hannah Antrobus, and the owner of the U.K's greatest doggy daycare Tim Jackson as they share the results they experienced when they invested in a coach. 

You'll discover;

• How Carol transtitioned from dog trainer to a trainer who trains other dog trainers, staffed her business and became a successful author 
• How during the pandemic Katie Gee launched and put 250 members into her Scentventure membership, which helps stressed-out reactive dog owners
• How niching her dog training business to working only with Spaniels, has transformed Hannah Antrobus pet business (and her bank acount) 
• How Tim went from working 7 days a week to just 3.5 days a week whilst at the same time doubling his turnover.

If this sounds like the kind of help you need with your pet business then now is the time to step up and invest in my private coaching programs. 

I'm very soon going to be closing the doors until next year because I'm launching a book, a program and travelling in the next few months.

If you run a six-figure (plus) pet business and you are stressed out, time-poor and you lack marketing systems, service delivery systems and customer development systems, then you're in luck because the Diamond doors are now open.

What are those key activities? You can find out in episode 240.

In this episode I'm joined by Savannah Westwood, Heidi Lewis, Amber Van Denzen Suarez and Doug Keeling, who make up the fantastic four founding members of the newly formed Florida Pet Sitters Association. We talk about how the collaboration came together and their aims for the association which include;

• Providing a community for Florida pet business owners who feel isolated and alone. 
• Communicating solutions pertinant to the unique local and geographic challenges that Florida pet owners face - like alligators! 
• Creating a referral network that will benefit all pet businesses in the region. 
• Sharing expertise to raise the bar with pet care standards across the industry

Just because there's a cost-of-living crisis, inflation is sky-high and we are rapidly rolling towards recession, it DOESN'T mean you can't increase prices and make more money in your pet business. 

I started my first 'premium' pet business slap bang in the middle of the last recession in 2011. And I did this by charging twice as much as my competitors....

...So, in todays episode I'm sharing six ways you can make more money in your pet business even when there's a recession. 

And I'm highlighting the Six mistakes that all skint pet business owners are guilty of making.

You'll discover why;

* Bad Economics  - i.e. a bad pet business model

* A rotton reputation as a cheap canine pet pro

* Positioning yourself with all the other apples

* Not being seen as a specialised pet business

* Having a muggle money midset

* Cutting prices instead of adding value

Are all things that STOP you increasing prices AND attracting affluent dog owners.

This weeks guest Isabel Alvarez Arata was born in Equador, moved to Florida as a child, and was surrounded by animals including rescue cats and even a monkey! She adopted her first dog aged 17 - a rescue called Baci, which means kisses. 

She studied French and Business, and ended up being an English teacher in France aged 23. On her return to the USA she worked in a bank, in sales and in the hospitality industry. 

She adopted another dog aged 27 but struggled to find a pet carer, so started her own pet care business in Northern Virginia in March 2008, and had taken on staff member by August of that year!

Isabel truly found her calling as a business owner and she thrived as a creative, energetic pet-entreprenuer. 

She took the lessons from her previous roles and successfully systemised, staffed, and scaled up her business to the point where she had a team of 20, with hundreds of clients across the DC area. 

Then she got married, moved to El Paso and ran the business remotley from 1700 miles away.

For five years Isabel hired remotely, interviewed remotely, trained remotely and managed the business remotely, WAY before Zoom became popular. 

Then the pandemic hit and Isabel has to take the difficult decision to close the business, but then she found a new calling as the host of Covered in Pet Hair Podcast, a boozy pet and dog podcast on Pet Life Radio. 

In this show you'll learn;

* How Isabel scaled her business by aquiring clients and then taking on staff in her new areas

* Why your pet business systems and procedures are a Living Document that need to be updated regularly 

* How Isabels award winning business did over 100,000 visits to happy clients

* Why the systems and procedures are crucial to reassure the clients, the dogs, the staff members and to give YOU the busines owner the freedom you want. 

Isabel is one of the most wise and giving guests I've had on the show, and you'll be truly inspired by her 'can-do' attitude!
