Those of you who are new to pet sitting or dog walking may think that you’ll know exactly what you need to do and when if you’ve been in business for awhile but sometimes being in business for a long time brings its own set of challenges.

Today we’re going to talk about some of those challenges and how to move beyond to get to the other side.

Today’s coaching session: Kathy from Tennessee has had her pet sitting and dog walking business for 8 years. She’s been very successful, however she doesn’t feel successful because she’s working all the time. Kathy wants to set her business up in a way that will give her more freedom.

Here’s what Kathy wrote to Kristin before the coaching session:

“Dear Kristin,

I’m feeling like I work 24/7. I think I would be a good pet business owner to be chosen for a coaching session because I'm willing to do whatever it takes to grow my company to the next level. I think it can be done while still enjoying a balance of work and family. Thanks for your consideration!”

Episode 38. Making a Big Change 0

Jan 16, 2019

The scenario: Barbara is feeling confused about how to move forward. She lives in a rural area that is spread out and she works full-time in a 9-5 job while also trying to grow her pet sitting business. Barbara’s had her business for 18 years but it’s been more of a hobby and now she wants to turn it into a full-time (and more professional) business.

Here’s what Barbara wrote to Kristin:

“I have been pet sitting for years, but have only recently decided to become professional. I've got a good idea of what needs to be done, but I'm kind of all over the place, can't prioritize and get laser-focused to move myself and my business forward. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there in the same position as myself who could use help.”

Here’s what Barbara wrote after the coaching session:

"Hi Kristin,
I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and learned a lot. I definitely think my foot is off the brake and reaching for the gas pedal now. I am planning to work on my goals today and already have a few in mind that are even personal rather than business related. Don’t worry, there are plenty of business ones too, but the biggest is simply making my business work so I can do what I love full time.
I’ll be checking into that Facebook Marketing for Pet Business Owners webinar recording, and I’m sure you haven’t heard the last from me! Thanks again, and take care.
Barbara L."

Episode 37. Moving Forward 0

Jan 2, 2019

It’s season three of the podcast and Prosperous Pet Business has something brand new for this season!

If you haven’t already heard, starting today and every two weeks going forward for the next few months you get to be a fly on the wall and listen and learn as pet business coach Kristin Morrison does 30 to 45 minute coaching sessions with a pet business owner who is struggling with challenges in their pet sitting, dog walking, dog training and other service-based pet businesses. Even if you can’t relate to the challenges, you may find help and relief from some of the answers.

Today’s coaching session: Polly from Portland has a pet business that has been quite successful in the 2 years that she’s owned it. However, her dream is to sell her newish business and move to the UK, where she’s originally from, and start a pet business in the rural area where she plans to move.

Here’s what Polly wrote to Kristin:

“I really need coaching because I’m so stuck. I would love Kristin’s insight to help me figure out my next step in the US or UK!”

Here’s what Polly wrote to Kristin after the coaching session:

“Hi Kristin,

I can’t tell you how much talking to you has given me clarity and a way forward. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

I will look forward to hearing the podcast in January and I’ll keep you posted with the outcome of selling my business!

I will certainly be in touch again for a coaching session with you when we make our move to the UK.

Thanks so much and best wishes to you!
Polly”
