Episode 120. Calm Your Mind, Change Your Business, Part One 0

Dec 30, 2022

This is part one of my session with Lois. You can listen to the next episode to hear part two.

Lois started her dog walking and dog training business while still working her corporate job. She walked and trained dogs on her lunch break and before and after her corporate job!

After a while, she realized that she was making more money walking dogs than working in her corporate job as an accountant!

So, she started her dog walking business and then after she started her business, she’s become a workaholic! It’s also been scary for her to let go of job security and to trust herself and her business.

Often coaching sessions end up at a destination that surprises both me and the coaching client I’m working with, and this session is no exception! You may be surprised, like we were, about where this session ends up.

Sit back, relax and enjoy this session.

Episode 119. Grow Your Pet Business and Create Client Accountability 0

Nov 22, 2022

Jodi is a dog trainer who wants to expand her dog training business. She is having a hard time having her clients follow through on the homework she gives them. Like a lot of business owners, Jodi is an idea generator and a visionary! These are great qualities to have as a business owner, but for her ideas to come to fruition they also need to be implemented!

In this coaching session you’ll hear how Jodi, like her clients, also needs methods to help her stay accountable so she can accomplish the many business and personal life tasks on her to do list.

Even if you’re not a dog trainer but rather a pet sitter, dog walker, dog daycare owner or pet groomer or some other business owner, when you listen to this coaching session, you’re likely to gain a lot of ideas (and strategies for how to accomplish those ideas). We cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time so slip on your headphones or ear buds and step into my coaching office to be a fly on the wall in this session.

Episode 117. Discover What’s Not Working When it Comes to Hiring Staff 0

Oct 11, 2022

Heidi is an experienced pet sitter and dog walker in Naples, Florida. Lately she has been feeling frustrated about hiring staff.

She’s been interviewing not-right people and also hiring flaky people who seem very interested in the beginning of the hiring process, but they back out before they are already hired or shortly after being hired.

In this session, you’ll also hear me share a step-by-step process to help her hire better people and the way we do that is to really break down her hiring process to determine exactly where the flaky ones are even considered in the first place – and how to avoid flaky people in the future.

Heidi also needs to get reinspired in a big way when it comes to hiring! If, like Heidi, you are struggling with hiring in this challenging job market, you won’t want to miss this episode.

This episode will guide you step-by-step through an empowering hiring process: from creating a help wanted ad that works, to how and where to conduct the interview as well as a lot more details.

Episode 115. How to Hire in Your Pet Business 0

Sep 6, 2022

In the last podcast episode, I worked with a coaching client on hiring and we’ll dive a bit more in depth on that topic today with a different coaching client.

My coaching client today is Shannon, a pet sitter and dog walker from Pennsylvania. Her business has grown so quickly that she’s had to scramble to hire keep up with the large number of clients coming her way.

She’s trying to figure out whether employees or independent contractors are best for her business. In this session you’ll also hear how to find a low-cost employment attorney to get labor law questions answered in the least expensive way possible.

There are pros and cons when it comes to hiring employees vs. independent contractor and you’ll hear some of those in this coaching session.

Episode 114. How to Hire and Expand Your Pet Business 0

Aug 23, 2022

Mallorie is a pet sitter and dog walker in Dallas, Texas. Her business has grown quickly, and she’d like to expand even more without compromising the quality of care she’s committed to providing her clients.

She asks me the chicken-or-the-egg question that so many pet business owners ask me: “Should I hire first or advertise to get more clients first?”

You’ll hear my answer in this episode as well as information about how to expand in a way that doesn’t comprise quality, how to hire even if you don’t have any clients for new hires right away, how to grow the business and still make sure clients and staff feel your personal care, how to delegate tasks in a way that will help rather than hurt your business, plus a lot more.

This episode is filled with important information if you’re thinking of hiring or growing your client base – or both!

Episode 113. How to Create Company Culture in Your Pet Business 0

Aug 9, 2022

Susan is a pet sitter from San Diego. In her coaching session today, she is bringing up a question that I’ve never been asked before on the podcast: How to create positive company culture.

Company culture is something that is often discussed in a lot in tech companies but rarely is it looked at by small, service-based business owners and it’s important! I was impressed that this is a concern of Susan’s, because it’s important for staff retention and workplace happiness.

Company culture is not a one-size-fits-all experience. When you explore this topic in your business, you want to explore what do you want, what does your staff want, and how can you make working with your company more enjoyable to increase staff retention and workplace happiness.

In this session we explore this and how to ask your staff crucial questions and what types of questions to ask them in order to have them help you create positive company culture.

Episode 112. Create Policies and Procedures to Save Time, Money and Energy 0

Jul 26, 2022

In today’s coaching session, I’m working with Tina, a pet business owner who feels like she’s constantly putting fires in her business. She has 5 part-time staff to help her, but she gets a lot of last-minute calls from them asking for time off which causes her to have to jump in and be the emergency backup.

She needs to raise her prices and wants to know if she should charge a gas surcharge given how high the gas prices have gone recently.

She has some policies but she hasn’t been implementing them and she really needs to do this so her business can begin running like a well-oiled machine.

Episode 111. Dealing with Depression and Anxiety as a Pet Business Owner 0

Jul 12, 2022

In today’s coaching session, I’m working with Cora, a pet business owner who sometimes struggles with occasional bouts of depression and anxiety. When it hits her, it causes her to suffer - and her business to suffer.

When she’s not experiencing depression and anxiety her energy level is high, her response time to clients is quick, and she’s able to bill clients in a prompt manner as well as other necessary business tasks.

When she’s going through a challenging time, things look very different: it can take her a week or two to return client calls, it can be like slogging through quicksand to bill her clients in a timely manner and she has very little energy to run her business.

If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, please see a medical professional.

In today’s coaching session I’m not trying to diagnose Cora, nor cure her anxiety or depression. I can’t do that nor would attempt to do that.

I am simply having a conversation with Cora about depression and anxiety and how it impacts her business and her life. I’m not trying to fix Cora’s depression or anxiety but rather to help her navigate her business during this time.

Again, if you’re struggling with depression or anxiety, please get help from a medical professional.

A huge thank you to Cora for having the courage to come on this podcast and be a voice for those of you who suffer from depression and anxiety and are also trying to run your business, raise your kids, and/or navigate your personal and work life.

Episode 110. Create a Business Schedule You Love 0

Jun 28, 2022

Today’s coaching session is with Donna, a pet sitter and dog walker in Tennessee.

She has owned her business for a few years and she’s struggling with creating a schedule that works for her and her full personal life with family and many pets. (Donna wins the award for the pet business owner I’ve coached who has the most dogs – she has 9 dogs!)

In this episode you’ll hear how she can learn to say no to clients because saying no is a learned behavior and often doesn’t come naturally to pet pros. She’s pretzeled herself to accommodate her beloved clients and like a lot of pet professionals, she needs to put some of that energy and attention toward herself, her family and her own dogs.

You’ll also hear about how both Donna and I took a break from social media and how that positively impacted our lives and how taking a social media break may help you too. Plus a lot of other questions, challenges and business issues were covered in this session. You’re sure to be able to relate to some or all of this coaching session with Donna!

Episode 109. How to Deal with Pet Sit & Dog Walk Client Keys 0

Jun 14, 2022

Val Goren is an Atlanta-based pet sitter and dog walker who has a quickly growing pet sitting and dog walking business. Like many pet pros who provide home-based pet services, Val is having challenges managing the vast amount of client keys she and her staff are responsible for.

In this episode you’ll hear how she can best organize and manage the many client keys as well as how to manage her visit and walk schedule and raise her rates so she’s able to pay herself and her staff in an appropriate way, especially when gas prices are high.

Val also has questions about how best to ensure staff aren’t late to client meet-and-greets, pet sit visits and dog walks. She also has questions about how best to train her pet sitters and dog walkers so her staff reflect the high standards Val herself does when she is providing the service.

Episode 107. How to Run a Pet Business When You Have a 9-5 Job or Another Business 0

May 10, 2022

Marie has a dog products business on Etsy and she also wants to start a serviced-based pet sitting and dog walking business. She’s wondering how to go about creating a service-based business in addition to her existing dog products business.

Marie has a lot of questions about the startup process including how to start her dog walking and pet sitting business while still working her weekday job, if it’s even possible to start that business, and keep her job and how to find a great administration assistant to do the tedious and confusing tasks. She’s also confused about what client newsletter system would be best for her two very different businesses.

Episode 106. Shoestring Budget Marketing for Pet Business Owners 0

Apr 26, 2022

Stephanie is a new dog trainer who needs help getting clients quickly in her dog training business. Like many pet professionals who are on a shoestring budget, she’s unsure what marketing makes the most sense to invest in right now, given the many advertising options available.

As a new business owner, Stephanie is also feeling overwhelmed by all the tasks she feels like she should be doing but doesn’t know where would be best to put her limited attention, time and energy. She’d also like to specialize in “bully breeds” but isn’t sure if narrowing her niche would be a good route to take as a new business owner.

Episode 104. Create a Solid Business Foundation 0

Mar 22, 2022

Even if you’ve had your pet business for years, there may be parts of your business that are not quite solid. When solidity is created in the areas of business that require it, there’s so much more that’s possible in your business (and in your personal life).

Today’s coaching client is Maryann Berry, a new pet sitter and dog walker who lives in San Diego. She is very excited to launch her new business and just got her first client. Maryann wants to set up her business the right way, so today I’m helping her do that.

Regardless of whether you’ve been in business for many years or are just getting started, you’ll likely get something of substance out of this episode as we cover a wide range of topics within this podcast coaching session.

Episode 103. Phone Detox 0

Mar 15, 2022

On the last episode was Katie and today we have another Katie! Today’s coaching client is Katie, a pet sitter and dog walker in Denver, Colorado.

One of the magical things about coaching sessions is that I never quite know where they will end up even if I think I do from the beginning of the session. I think Katie and I both thought this coaching session would be going in a different direction than it ended up going in but this was the direction it wanted and needed to go in and so we went with it. I think you’ll see why as you listen.

Episode 102. Manage “Always On” Expectations in Your Pet Biz 0

Mar 8, 2022

Today’s coaching client is Katie, the owner of Katie’s Care, LLC. When she showed up for this podcast coaching session, she was working 24/7, feeling like she was always “on” and having a hard time saying no to her beloved clients. She also wasn’t making much money given the large amount of hours she was working each week.

Like a lot of pet business owners, Katie was feeling stretched to the max and this coaching session is all about how she can begin to create the kind of pet business and personal life she’d like to create. If you can relate to any of this, you’ve come to the right podcast episode!

Episode 101. How to Deal with Overwhelm 0

Feb 23, 2022

Today’s coaching client is Alexis, the owner of Hand and Hound Pet Sitting. After ten years of pet sitting for neighbors and friends, Alexis Campbell turned her side job into a full-fledged business in 2019. Hand and Hound Pet Sitting serves clients in the Phoenix area, and strives to be "like your neighbor, but with more credentials," making relationships with families and their pets. In 2021, Hand and Hound hired their first employees, and doubled their revenue. Now at 8 part-time employees, they are hoping to expand even more in 2022.

Like many pet business owners, Alexis is feeling very overwhelmed, and this coaching session is all about how she can best deal with the overwhelm. I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy this coaching session with Alexis.

Feb 8, 2022

The podcast is 100 today!

To celebrate the podcast turning 100, I invited the pet business owners I coached on the last 7 episodes to be on the podcast.

Today you’ll hear 5 of those 7 pet business owners share what actions they took after they got coached by me on the podcast and where they are at now in their businesses and personal lives. (The two who couldn’t make it for today’s episode really wanted to, but one had COVID and the other had internet issues.)

A heartfelt and very special thank you to the pet business owners who are on today’s episode:
Susan Hurst, Kaitlyn Argiro, Carly Neufeld, Stephanie Hickey, and Kelsey Olsen. Visit the show notes page to find out what prior episode each were on.

Episode 98. How to Fix Many Pet Business Challenges 0

Dec 14, 2021

Stephanie is a rock star business owner who is based in Texas. She’s owned her business for a few years and, in many ways, has done a great job running it. However, due to the pandemic and other issues, she’s now got a lot of business challenges she’s dealing with and she’s at a loss for how to fix them. Stephanie is struggling to balance her team’s needs, her client needs and (last but definitely not least!) her own personal needs. On top of all of this, she’s working 60-80 hours a week and in spite of all those hours, she needs to make a lot more money!

In this rapid-fire coaching session that covers a lot of different business topics, you’ll hear me coach Stephanie through her business issues. At the end of the episode, I’ll share an update about how she’s doing now, a few weeks after this session was recorded.

If you are struggling with a lot of pet business challenges, or even just grappling with one or two issues, you won’t want to miss this episode!

Episode 97. Automate Your Pet Business 0

Nov 29, 2021

My coaching client today is Kelsey who runs a pet grooming and dog kennel in Nevada. Kelsey is experiencing a lot of stress with employees who say they will do something but then don’t do it. She’s also struggling because she’s short staffed and is having a hard time finding quality people.

Kelsey reached out to me for a coaching session that she agreed could be recorded for the podcast. Like most pet business owners who have employees, Kelsey’s staffing issues have become magnified due to being short staffed during this pandemic and not having quality staff she can depend on. It becomes clear that automation can be her best friend with her current staff and you’ll hear the coin drop for Kelsey when she starts to realize she does have the power to change her business for the better! You’ll hear exactly how she can do that – and how you can do it too.

Nov 15, 2021

My coaching client today is Carly. She’s a dog trainer, pet sitter and dog walker based in Pismo Beach, California who really wants to rocket her business to the next level. She has a lot of questions of how best to do that in a short amount of time.

Carly reached out to me for a coaching session that she knew would be recorded for the podcast.

You’ll hear how she can do that – and how you can too!
