🎧 This Week’s Episode:

In this episode of the Pet Grooming Business Help and Support Podcast, Bill Betts talks about something that affects a lot of pet groomers: feeling like you have to do everything yourself to succeed.

Bill shares a story from a chat he had with top business coach Daniel Priestley, where they talked about how many business owners find it hard to ask for help. Often, this mindset comes from school, where we’re taught that getting help is cheating – but in business, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Bill explains why delegation and mentorship are key to growing a successful grooming business. You might be amazing at grooming pets, but that doesn’t mean you have to be an expert at everything else, like marketing, admin, or finance. It’s okay to hand things over to a virtual assistant or someone who can help.

This episode is all about changing the way we think. Bill encourages listeners to reflect on how their upbringing or experience might be holding them back, especially when it comes to asking for support. Running a business doesn’t have to feel heavy. With the right people around you, things get easier, and more fun!

💬 Key Takeaways

• It’s okay to ask for help. Getting support in your business isn’t a weakness – it’s smart.
• Think about your mindset. If you’ve been taught to always do things on your own, it might be holding your business back.
• You don’t have to do everything. Handing tasks over to others – like a virtual assistant – can give you time to focus on what you love.
• Being great at grooming isn’t the same as running a business. It takes different skills, and you can learn or outsource them.
• You’re not alone. There’s a whole community of pet groomers and business experts who can help you grow.
