If so, you’re not alone. I recently gave a keynote talk addressing the struggle many are currently going through, as well as the antidote to the struggle, to the attendees of the Pet Boarding and Daycare Expo. I was originally hired to give this talk to expo attendees in-person in Hershey, Pennsylvania but, well, the pandemic is still happening so the expo went online. This episode is the audio from my Zoom keynote. This episode is longer than usual so you may want to grab a glass of something delicious and relax on your sofa – or put on those headphones of yours and go for a walk.

During the Spring of 2020, like most of us, I was rattling around in my home, sheltering in place while being stunned on a daily basis by what was happening in the world as a result of the pandemic. For awhile I needed to just rest in order to process what was happening but after awhile, I wanted to get back to being my productive self and start checking things off my to do list again. However, I had a hard time generating motivation (which is not at all like me). Thankfully, I found an app that shifted everything and has been a powerful game changer in both my personal and professional life. I’m so excited to share this “hack” with you today – and bonus: what I’m sharing about in this episode will enable you to connect with pet business owners from all over the world, in addition to supporting you to take care of business in an easy and relaxed way.

Words are powerful. And when they are powerfully and intentionally written on a website words can also help you get great clients. Rewriting your web copy is an action you take now if your business is slow (or even if it’s not slow). If you want to attract ideal clients to you from simply changing the words on your website, you’ll want to listen to this segment. Katie Mehas is a wordsmith of the highest order and she’s also skilled at clearly explaining what works (and what really doesn’t) when it comes to website copy.

When tension is present and one person is upset, our natural reaction is often to meet that person where they are (in an angry place). Hedy’s life work is all about disarming that natural inclination and bringing the conversation back to connection which Hedy calls a “habit of the heart”. When you can master this way of dealing with challenging communication, you can have a meaningful connection with even the most shut down, angry client, family member or stranger.

This is a challenging time on so many levels. If we’re not taking care of our body, mind and spirit then our business suffers and so does our personal life, as well as our quality of life. In today’s episode I’m going to share some powerful resources that have helped ground and center me the last few weeks in the midst of this pandemic hurricane. Most of the resources I mention are totally free – and if they are not free, they are donation-based or very low-cost. If you’re feeling stressed or anxious in this moment or about the future, I invite you to sit back, relax and open up your mind to the possibility that there could be some relief out there for you. These resources I am sharing with you today have brought me a lot of peace and serenity and I hope that one -or all of them- will bring you comfort, relief and renewal too.

Hi pet business owners, I don’t know about you but I’ve been doing my best to mine the gold during this slow down time. At this point I’ve been in sheltering in place for 7 weeks.

I was recently interviewed by podcast host Jeanette Schneider for her On Gold podcast. She generously gave me permission to share this episode that originally aired on her podcast. This is a very unusual podcast episode for me to share with you because, though it’s about my business journey, the interview also focuses on my personal life including what needed to shift internally for me to find and marry my husband and what happened before I found my dream home that my husband and I recently bought.  Here’s what Jeanette wrote about this segment for her On Gold podcast: “Kristin Morrison went from writing “I wish I could get paid to walk a dog” in her journal, to launching her own million-dollar pet business — recently featured in MarketWatch, New York Post and a TV interview with Yahoo Finance. A master manifestor, Kristin not only manifested her business, she also manifested her husband and her home. She is proof that intention, self awareness, and a little bit of Universal magic, pay off in big, beautiful ways. She now shares her business insight with thousands of clients through her books, online courses, and podcast, “Prosperous Pet Business.”  Kristin is the Founder of Six-Figure Pet Business Academy, a program she started in 2010 for service-based pet business owners including pet sitters, dog walkers, dog trainers, pet groomers, and dog daycare owners. In 2012, Kristin became a certified “Best Year Yet” coach, and created Best Year Coaching, a company that helps individuals from all walks of life and professions, plan and achieve their dream life list, from their personal goals to their business goals.  Today Kristin and I dig into the value of patience, the grind of entrepreneurship, and how in the world she manifested the man of her dreams and her dream home. Let’s dig in.” Share your insights and find out more about items mentioned in the podcast by visiting the show notes page: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast66 Want to get admin software or want to change your current admin software?

There is a common thread that occurs for most dog trainers, dog walkers and pet sitters and that is having to deal with the varied pet challenges that arise in a given day. It is rarely about just walking, sitting or training a dog. Inevitably there are some tricky situations that arise during the course of a pet professional’s day. In this segment, Victoria addresses some of the common situations that may arise so you can hit the ground running after watching this segment (and perhaps you can even turn your clients on to some new ways of dealing with their existing pet problems too). Please note: This interview with Victoria was recorded using the highest quality recording software available. In spite of that, you may notice some small audio glitches. The information she shares will be worth these glitches. Thank you for your understanding!

I had a lot of practice learning how to hire good people: in the course of running my own pet business, I hired over 250 pet sitters and dog walkers to work for my company.  Share your insights and find out more about items mentioned in the podcast by visiting the show notes page: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast61 Click for more information about the 30-Day Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Challenge https://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/30-day-pet-sitting-dog-walking-online-challenge Click to find out more about the Catapult 4-Week Pet Business Anytime Access Program https://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/catapult-4-week-pet-business-success-program Link to my newest book: The Hiring Handbook for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers https://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/pet-sitting-dog-walking-hiring-handbook-for-pet-sitters-and-dog-walkers Check out the Carrying the Fire Podcast http://carrythefire.libsyn.com/ep-12-3-steps-to-hiring-mastery-with-kristin-morrison Find out more about Shane Whelan Connect with Kristin on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/petbizcoach/ Click for FREE pet business resources to help you run your pet business smarter rather than harder https://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/business-resources-dog-trainers-dog-groomers-dog-day-care-owners.

Podcaster and life coach Gurds Hundal hosts the Inner Light Project podcast and she recently interviewed me for her podcast and generously gave me permission to also share this interview with you listeners.  This may be a (very!) different interview than you’re used to with me and because of that, I wanted to share it with you. I was working with a coaching client and we were talking about the importance of having values in business and life. She asked me what qualities I want to “live into” in 2020 and without thinking, I told her: ‘authenticity, vulnerability and inspiration’. It’s my hope that you experience me living into all three of these qualities in this interview!

I’m excited about this episode because today’s guest is the author of the bestselling book Outsmart Your Smartphone.

Your mindset, including your negative and positive beliefs, influence what shows up in your life and your business. Psychoanalyst Jung said that the inner always reflects the outer and pet business coach Kristin Morrison has found that to be true in her own life and business journey. In this podcast episode Kristin shares how she worked through her own limiting beliefs to create a life and business she loves – and how you can too. It all starts with the mind. Buckle your seatbelts: the inner journey to create your own life-changing shift begins here.

Today’s coaching session: Katie lives in Colorado and has had her dog hiking and dog boarding business for nearly 2 years. She’s feeling a bit discouraged because she’s tried lots of different ways to marketing but her marketing efforts are not really working. She’s only getting one new client every month or two and she needs help coming up with other marketing strategies that are low-cost or free since she’s tried some marketing that has been expensive and hasn’t worked. Don’t worry, dear Katie! There’s hope.

The coaching client: Jill has had her pet sitting and dog walking business for over five years and she just hired a couple of great employees to help her with the pet services. Now her main focus is to make space in her business in order to have a baby. She’s currently providing about 60% of the services and her current employees cover about 40%. Within the next 10 months she’d like to have staff cover all of the pet services that she currently covers. She’s confused on how many people she should hire to replace her and how to begin to step away from the business in order to create a new life (literally and figuratively!) Here’s what Jill wrote before the session: “Kristin, We’ve been in business for 5 1/2 years. It has currently myself and my partner and we are stretched as thin as we can go. We want to have a baby next year but this business is our household income so we need to get set up for employees so we can grow the business while stepping back if / when needed. There seem to be a lot of businesses that are stuck where I am. I think a lot of listeners will be able to relate to our discussion. There are a ton of directions I want to take my business but really need help narrowing down the best path. I recently purchased the Pet Sitting Hiring Kit as well as the How to Navigate Employee Wage & Hourly Pay webinar.” Share your insights and find out more by visiting the podcast show notes page: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast45 Links to Items Mentioned in This Podcast Episode or That Might Help You in Your Pet Business: PRE-ORDER the Hiring Handbook for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers eBook (paperback book and eBook will be released August 2019): http://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/pet-sitting-dog-walking-hiring-handbook-for-pet-sitters-and-dog-walkers Want to be on the podcast?

The coaching client: Kayla has had her home-based dog boarding and dog daycare business for over 15 years. She is excited about wanting to add the new service of “daytime dog adventures and field trips” but she’s confused about how to even create a bit of time in her always busy days to begin offering this service. She knows she wants to hire someone to help with the dog boarding and daycare but because she’s been doing that business for so many years and could do it in her sleep she has no idea even what she does or how she does it so training someone new feels overwhelming. On top of this, she feels exhausted from working so many hours a day so the thought of having to expend more energy to find someone feels draining to her. Here’s what Kayla wrote before the session: Hi Kristin, I think a lot of small business owners are struggling with the same issues; I feel so caught up in just trying to run my business day to day that I’m never able to take the next step in growing my business and realizing my dreams and plans for my business. I feel stuck and in limbo.

The coaching client: Jesse is a pet sitter and dog walker who started her pet business a little over 5 years ago. She has 10 dog walkers and pet sitters who work for her. Even though she’s got a lot of people working for her she finds that she’s somehow working too much! On top of that, Jesse is taking her first vacation since having hired staff and her vacation is in 2 weeks – so she needs to get someone lined up right away to help her with the phone and emails so she doesn’t have to bring her work with her to the remote island where she’ll be vacationing. (Working on a vacation = buzzkill!) Here’s what Jesse wrote before the session: “Hi Kristin, I have built a successful business and love what I do. I have read a few of your books and feel that I just need some help putting some of the ideas into motion. I am feeling burned out and I know that I need more down time/family time/travel, etc. I often work 5-7 days a week and I know it isn’t sustainable and need a fix asap. I’m at a point in my business where I need to stop growing or figure out how to work less and let go of some control. I have considered hiring a manager, but I have a hard enough time finding quality/reliable dog walkers. I’ve started to make baby steps such as trying to take some Fridays off, doing fewer overnights, and am thinking about potentially hiring more dog walkers in the coming months. I think I’m likely a workaholic and it is negatively impacting my personal life and I want to find solutions.” Share your insights and find out more by visiting the podcast show notes page by going to: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast43 Links to Items Mentioned in This Podcast Episode or That Might Help You in Your Pet Business: PRE-ORDER the Hiring Handbook for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers eBook (paperback book and eBook will be released August 2019): http://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/pet-sitting-dog-walking-hiring-handbook-for-pet-sitters-and-dog-walkers Want to be on the podcast?

It felt right to only run her pet business and she just went for it! She loves her business but is finding it hard to focus on the tasks she especially loves to do to grow her business – especially the networking side of it. Unlike many of the pet business owners that I’ve coached, because Michelle has connected with so many of the local pet business owners she does not suffer from the isolation that sometimes occurs for pet care providers and in fact, she wants to put more of her time and energy into networking but is finding it difficult since she’s working so much each day. She feels confused on where to begin to free up some of her time in order to give more energy to those tasks that are in her zone of genius or her “sweet spot”. Here’s what Michelle wrote prior to the coaching session: “Have been growing steadily but want to grow more. Feeling a little stuck in low gear. Feels like all the things I need to still do for networking, promoting and hiring is overwhelming. Would like to have time to spend on networking and promoting not doing the services. Have people who work for me.” Share your insights and find out more by visiting the podcast show notes page by going to: www.ProsperousPetBusiness.com/podcast42 Links to Items Mentioned in This Podcast Episode or That Might Help You in Your Pet Business: PRE-ORDER the Hiring Handbook for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers eBook (paperback book and eBook will be released August 2019): http://www.sixfigurepetbusinessacademy.com/pet-sitting-dog-walking-hiring-handbook-for-pet-sitters-and-dog-walkers Want to be on the podcast?

Alexis has had her pet sitting and dog walking business for 10 years. She has a very easy time attracting clients but is having a really hard time finding good staff members, which is causing her business to not be as successful as she’d like to be. And because she doesn’t have enough staff, she is also suffering from business burnout because she’s having to step in as the emergency back up. Here’s what Alexis wrote on her coaching application: “Hi Kristin, I am a recovering lawyer (graduate of Smith College & Georgetown Law), and am 1000% open to guidance & coaching. I either get help from an expert like you or I walk away from this business after ten years. I like to think outside of the box, yet I inadvertently built a dog crate around me!” Here are the show notes for today’s episode: www.prosperouspetbusiness.com/podcast41 Links to Items Mentioned in this Podcast Episode or That Might Help You in Your Pet Business: Want to be on the podcast?

New Jersey pet sitter and dog walker Liz has PTSD when it comes to hiring a manager. She had a really bad experience with her previous manager and, understandably, it has made her afraid to take a risk and hire another manager. She also is having a hard time finding and keeping pet sitters and dog walkers because, like most pet sitters, she’s got a highly-developed “caretaker” nature which is great for clients and pets but it’s impacting her ability to manage her staff. Here’s what Liz wrote to Kristin before the coaching session: “I am totally burned out. Please help, Kristin! ~Liz” Here’s what Kristin wrote to Liz after the session: “Hi Liz, I enjoyed working with you today! Here’s a link to find out more about the office manager/office assistant application packet: http://www.sixfigurepetsittingacademy.com/products_apppacketoffice.html Take good care and remember to breathe into the peace when it’s there in your business.

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!” Here’s what Kathy wrote to Kristin after the coaching session: Here are the show notes for today’s episode: www.prosperouspetbusiness.com/podcast39 Links to Items Mentioned in this Podcast Episode or That Might Help You in Your Pet Business: Want to be on the podcast?

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.

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!

It’s the holiday time which can lead to a lot of burnout, especially for pet sitters and dog walkers. In today’s segment I share why now, even if you are feeling crispy-fried, it’s a great time to vision and get intentional about what you want to create in the new year. So many pet business owners simply flop into the new year – what I share with you today will help you step confidently, and with clear goals and direction, into the new year and help you recover from burnout if you’re struggling with that in your business.

A few years into my pet business, I had what most would define as success: lots of staff and clients – but it wasn’t my version of success. In today’s segment I share some of the personal journey that I went on to remove the inner blocks that kept me from making money and creating my definition of success and how you can too! You may find this segment a bit more personally revealing than I usually share in my podcast episodes but, after giving a similar talk to a local book store a few weeks back and having it be so well-received, I felt inspired to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it and that hearing about my journey helps you remove your own inner blocks. Here are the show notes for today’s episode.
