Abby runs a dog walking and pet sitting business with a co-owner. In this coaching session, Abby discusses challenges in growing her pet business. She’s expanded the client base by taking on clients outside the original area and have tried low-tech advertising methods like door hangers and lawn signs, with lawn signs being particularly successful. But when it’s snowing in Buffalo, New York, lawn signs are not an option! Despite efforts to increase word-of-mouth referrals and collect reviews, they haven’t seen noticeable results.

This episode is about something no one glamorizes when running a pet business: the messy middle. This can often look like confusion, second-guessing, restructuring, and uncomfortable change. If you’ve ever questioned your pricing, outgrown clients, rewritten your offers, or wondered whether you’re cut out for this at all – this episode is for you. Social media shows the butterflies. It rarely shows the goo. But that dissolving stage? That’s where real transformation happens. If your business feels like it’s falling apart right now, take this as your reminder: you’re not behind, broken, or incapable. You might just be in the goo stage – and that’s exactly where becoming begins.

This episode dives into a game-changing productivity tool: The Eisenhower Matrix (also known as the Urgent-Important Matrix). This four-quadrant framework challenges the common mistake business owners make of confusing mere urgency with true importance. You’ll hear me break down the four quadrants: Do, Schedule, Delegate, and Delete – and illustrate the importance of protecting your time by correctly classifying tasks. To help you dedicate proper time to these high-value activities, I introduce the concept of the Deep Work Block. This is a scheduled, distraction-free time slot—typically 2-3 hours—dedicated only to demanding tasks that move your business forward. You’ll also learn powerful techniques for implementing your own Deep Work Block, including the “Creation Before Consumption” Rule and creating a Sensory Deprivation Chamber. To fully understand the power of this matrix and follow along with the examples, be sure to visit the show notes page where you’ll find the complete Eisenhower Matrix graphic, at: prosperouspetbusiness.com/podcast166.

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.  Visit the show notes page at: www.prosperouspetbusiness.com/money-affirmations Click to apply to be coached on the Prosperous Pet Business podcast.

Luis has been in business for 12 years in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He has a thriving dog walking business. Lately his clients have been using his pet service as more of a ‘ride share app” (using his services periodically instead of consistently) which has made planning very difficult because his clients aren’t being consistent and scheduling regular, ongoing service like they used to do. Many have also been requesting his service during his off hours (early in the morning and late at night) which is creating a lot of stress for him and his team.  He wants to provide an easeful experience for his clients but not if it continues to cause stress the way it has been lately.

Tonya has owned her pet sitting, dog boarding and dog walking business for over 10 years.  She’s struggling with the pet industry competition in her area, especially the large amount of Rover pet sitters, hobby and neighborhood dog walkers and pet care providers. Tonya is understandably feeling confused and upset because the people reaching out to her for pet services lately aren’t willing to pay her professional pet sitter prices. They seem interested at first but then when she quotes her rate, they often don’t want to schedule services.  This is causing Tonya to feel unsure about what to do to get clients. She doesn’t want to lower her rates; ideally, she wants to attract the right clients willing to pay her rates.

Maria has owned her pet business for many years. She had a business partner, but she recently bought her partner’s portion of the business, so the business is all hers now. For the last several years, Maria has been managing her business remotely because she’s living in a different state than her service-based business is located. She has a lot of staff members who are ICs, and she needs to convert those ICs to employees. Join Maria and I as we discuss how best to convert her ICs into employees, and we explore ways to turn her already very successful pet business into an even better business!

Heather wants to have more time with her kids and herself.  She bought a pet sitting business and now that’s she’s been running it for a while, she wants to change some fundamental ways she’s currently running it.  Like a lot of pet business owners (especially newer pet business owners), Heather is trying to being too many things and doing too much for many of her clients which is causing her to feel burned out and stuck in a rut.  She wants to create more of a “plug-and-play” or turnkey business. Taking on new overnight pet sitting clients is often anxiety-producing for Heather because it’s such an intimate experience with her staff in the client’s home, sleeping in their bed, etc. and she never knows how it’s going to turn out. She is also feeling that her many clients have become her bosses which is leading her to feel like she has 50 bosses.  Also, holidays feel very overwhelming for her because she gets so many potential clients reaching out desperate for care and they may only use her company for that one holiday which feels like a lot of work for a small amount of money.  Go to the show notes page at:  https://prosperouspetbusiness.com/podcast150 Click to apply to be coached on the Prosperous Pet Business podcast.

Today’s episode is a conversation that Kristin Wilson had with me on her podcast, Badass Digital Nomads.  You’ll hear Kristin and I discuss the various ways we kept ourselves away from traveling (sniff sniff!) You’ll also learn how the desire to travel eventually pushed us to set up our businesses in ways that would enable us to go away for long stretches of time, including a sabbatical I took a few years ago for nearly a year from my pet business.  If you desperately need some time off, or you want to travel for short or extended periods of time while your business runs without you, this is the episode for you!  Go to the show notes page at: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast144 Click to apply to be coached on the Prosperous Pet Business podcast.

This is Stephanie’s third and final coaching session in this episode series.  Her first coaching session is Episode 137 and her second session is Episode 138. If you haven’t already heard the prior sessions, it’s recommended you listen to those before listening to this one. (This episode builds upon the two prior episodes and will make a lot more sense if you’ve listened to those first.)  In this final session with Stephanie, we discuss workaholism and how to create pet business success with grace, ease and joy. How to drop the compulsive hustle and work grind in order to truly enjoy life while creating financial success. It IS possible to create a work life that gives you both a happy life and financial abundance! No need to choose one over the other. As you listen to this coaching session, think about your own life and business and, like Stephanie, you may also gain insight and guidance on how to create a life you love to live as a pet business owner.  Visit the show notes page at: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast139 Find out more about the 28-Day Business and Life Bootcamp for Badass Women.

This is Stephanie’s second coaching session. Her first session is Episode 137. If you haven’t already heard her first session, it’s recommended to listen to her first session before listening to this session. Since the first coaching session, Stephanie has stopped spending time on social media since that took time and energy away from working on her passion project (the business she discussed in Episode 137).  She’s now only allowing herself to post on social media when she’s accomplished something as a way to be accountable instead of a way to distract herself by getting lost down the rabbit hole of social media.  As we explore what else is taking up her time and energy, we explore the three major areas of life and work right now: parenting her 5-year-old son, her dog walking business and teaching at a university.  When she thinks about adding this passion project business to her already-full schedule it’s causing her to feel very overwhelmed. So, where does she go from here? What does she need to do to step away from the overwhelm to focus on what matters most to her? You’ll find out in this coaching session!

If you would like to combine a wonderful vacation along with an empowering day of private 1:1 pet business coaching with me, Kristin Morrison, the VIP Coaching Day is for you!  In this episode you’ll hear from Karissa, a pet sitting and dog walking business owner from Michigan.  Karissa combined her very first trip to Hawaii along with a day of coaching with me when she was in Hawaii – and she got to write off a large part of her vacation on her taxes because part of her vacation was a business trip!  (Be sure to ask your accountant how much you can write off when scheduling a VIP Coaching Day with me.)  I’ve got a handful of VIP Day spots available in California and Hawaii in 2024. I look forward to helping you in either Hawaii or California!

Stephanie has had a dog business for many years and though she wants to continue growing her pet business, she also wants to create a new online business that is targeted to pet parents. She is thinking that an online business could be a good “branch” off her current pet business.  She has a lot of questions about logistics around creating an online business and how to balance both her service-based business with an online business.  At the end of this session, we dive deep into her mindset. Stephanie has a profound awareness of how she feels like she never has enough. She feels like she doesn’t have enough, that she’s not doing enough. You’ll hear more about this in the next session with her that is focused on mindset. Stay tuned for part two!

Today’s podcast coaching client is Kristen. She boards dogs in her home and has three sons who keep her busy. She is going through a divorce and her soon-to-be ex-husband supported most her financial needs and now she needs to make more money in her dog boarding business.  What becomes apparent as we begin this coaching session is that she needs to get clear how much she needs to make each month. We discuss the gifts that can happen when she does financial tracking and also the best way to track business and personal numbers.  We also explore the goal setting process and why it’s important for Kristen to do and how her financial goals may positively impact her net profit. We also discuss the glass ceiling and what can help her move beyond current financial blocks.  On a personal level, one of Kristen’s barriers that has affected her self-esteem (and earning) is that her prior partner didn’t support her and in fact, put her down a lot. She experienced a lot of belittling from him, and it really wore down her self-esteem. Now that she’s out of that relationship and can see clearly, she needs to strengthen herself internally, cultivate confidence and self-esteem both while living her life and running her dog boarding business.  Visit the show notes page at: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast136 Listen to Kristin Morrison’s other podcast: Business Pathfinder podcast.

Hi pet pros! Hope you’re doing well today.   I’m hopping in your feed today with a special announcement.  I hope to see you at the 28-Day Business and Life Bootcamp for Badass Women.   ~Kristin Morrison

This is an episode from my other podcast that is for all types of business owners called Business Pathfinder. I wanted to share this episode with you, dear pet business owner, because I think you may find it helpful too. A lot of pet business owners suffer from what my coaching client in this session is struggling with here. It’s my hope that if you also struggle with what my coaching client is grappling with, that hearing this session will help you – and perhaps even begin to help you heal, too. My coaching client in this session is Alex. She is a software engineer and entrepreneur in Poland. She helps business owners master technology through a membership site she created called Tech Club. Our conversation at the beginning of the session may at first seem like it’s not relevant to Alex’s business but as you listen, you’ll hear it sets the stage for where we end up going in this session.  Alex is one of those entrepreneurs who “has really good starts” but after her initial success, her projects seem to fizzle out.  We bring who we are into our business. If we’re not consciously aware of what we’ve learned about money and work from our parents and grandparents, we may unconsciously carry those parental beliefs that aren’t ours into our work. This can also happen with childhood wounds that have not yet been healed – they can profoundly impact how we run our businesses, as you’ll hear is the case with Alex.  Trigger warning: there’s a brief mention of suicidal thoughts in this episode, so please take loving care of yourself as you listen.

This is Part Two of my coaching session with Amy. If you haven’t yet heard Part One (Episode 131), I encourage you to listen to that first as it sets the stage for this session. In Part One you heard Amy having a hard time detaching from her phone. In this session, you’ll hear how hard it is for her to delegate and let go to an office manager or admin assistant and other staff members. If you can relate to this (and I know a lot of you can!), this episode is for you! Thanks to Amy for being willing to be so open, authentic and vulnerable in both of her coaching sessions with me. We cover topics in these two sessions that a lot of pet business owners struggle with and I feel grateful she was able to show up so courageously in order to not only get help for herself but also help those of you who struggle with this similar issue.

Like SO many business owners, and even some people who don’t have a business, Amy is having a difficult time detaching from her phone.  She feels like her phone is always a part of her. She has no idea how to fully let it go, even for a bit each day, so that she can actually let go when she’s not working.  She feels like she’s living the life of that meme you may have seen out there – “Why did I quit my 9-5 job to work 24/7 in my business?”  We cover a lot of ground in this session, and it ended in a very different spot than we anticipated it.  At the end of the session, it became clear that there was more to explore in this session with Amy and so I set up another session – Part Two is Episode 132.  Visit the show notes page at: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast131 Find out more about the 28-Day Business and Life Bootcamp for Badass Women.
