New Podcast! Introducing: Business Pathfinder Read More »
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.
She feels physically and mentally stopped.
Now, you know this (but I have to say this to protect myself and to protect you listeners): I’m not a therapist nor a medical doctor. I’m a business and life coach.
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.
I want to say 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.
Even if you don’t experience depression and anxiety, you may know someone who does, and this episode may help you feel more empathy and compassion for this often silent illness that can be crippling in ways that cannot be seen.

“I called Kristin for some coaching sessions and she gave me practical advice that was relevant to my situation, easy to implement, and most of all made sense! She spent time asking me important questions and listening to what I had to say then she helped me put together a plan of action and set an income goal for my next month.
After putting into practice just a few of her ideas, I am happy to report that I not only made my goal for the next month, I SHATTERED it! I went from earning just over $1,000 a month before I started coaching sessions with Kristin to booking over $3,600 a month shortly after our coaching sessions. That investment of coaching with Kristin netted over 40 times that in increased earnings! Where else can you get a return like that? I’m so excited to put the rest of her ideas into motion and I am certain I will need hire an assistant very soon to help with all my increased business! Thanks Kristin! I really appreciate your help.”

“It’s been a wildly successful year after working with Kristin Morrison! I hired Kristin from the Six-Figure Pet Business Academy to consult me on expanding my business, Rufus and Delilah Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, after 5 years of being a one-woman show. Within 3 weeks of working with Kristin I brought on 3 walkers/sitters. In the first year after working with Kristin I tripled my total gross billing! I currently have 12 sitters/walkers and I am ready to bring on more. Kristin got me over my fear of expanding in no time and I couldn’t have it done it in such a successful manner without her.”

“Kristin coached me in my pet sitting business this last year. She asked me how much I wanted to make and I told her $50,000 for this year. She told me to aim higher and so I said, “$60,000″. She said that was a good number to start with. I am happy to say that the year isn’t even over and I’m now at over $65,000! I will shoot for $100,000 as my income goal for this coming year. Why not? Kristin gave me the advice and support I needed to take the plunge and hire pet sitters for my business. Best of all I work a lot less than I did the year before! I only care for 3 clients myself now because I have 16 pet sitters on staff and an assistant to help me manage my business! I did it all thanks to Kristin’s coaching! Thank you for the help you gave me, Kristin. You are good at what you do!”

“When I first called Kristin I was doing all of the work myself and I was exhausted. I now have 10 people on staff! Kristin helped me create more prosperity in my business! Kristin has incredible insight and a personable professionalism that has helped coach me and my business along! Her advice, feedback, expertise, and listening ear were invaluable to me. She gave me a lot of confidence to strive out and “beat my own drum” in order to create more prosperity and balance within my business. Kristin’s direction, guidance, support, and professional embrace of my business helped me achieve my goals. I feel so much better each time after talking with her. It’s great just to know Kristin is out there!”

“Working with Kristin has been amazing. The clarity and insight she offers has drastically improved my business, job satisfaction and my personal life. Like many business owners, I was lacking balance and since working with Kristin, my work/life balance has been restored. Coaching sessions with Kristin have improved the pet sitting, dog walking and dog training aspects of my business. It was important for me to work with a coach who could improve my business as a whole as well as understand, respect and acknowledge my need for personal and family time. This is what sets Kristin apart from the rest! The resources she offers in addition to her coaching sessions are a roadmap to success. Thank you Kristin!”

“Being coached by Kristin has been the best decision I’ve made in business and in my life! I learned more about successful pet sitting than I ever could have imagined and have gained a lot of confidence and professionalism through the coaching sessions with her. Every successful business needs a mentor and I have found the best. I suggest you give her a try. She’s the best coach and you’ll get the very best results in your business.”

“If it wasn’t for Kristin’s guidance as my business coach last year my business would not be where it is today! Thanks to Kristin’s coaching, I exceeded the financial goal that I set last year (which I thought was really pushing it and impossible!) I am now ready to take the next step in my business by hiring pet sitters and dog walkers. I also purchased the Application Packet and Welcome Packet for the New Staff Member to help me through this process. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me, Kristin!”

“I had so many questions when I first started my pet sitting business. I wanted to get some advice right away so I called Kristin (The Business Coach for Pet Business Owners). She was thorough and professional. She gave me direct answers to all my questions and a lot of additional helpful advice about the pet sitting business that I didn’t even know I’d need. Even if you’ve owned your pet sitting business for awhile I would recommend that you consult with Kristin. As my business has grown I can see that my coaching calls with Kristin have been one of the best business moves I’ve made thus far!”

“Kristin’s expertise has been invaluable and her positive and kind nature has made it a pleasure to work with her.

You are so knowledgeable and I’m excited to put your wisdom and brilliant ideas in practice! I will defiantly set up a another session to touch base because with starting the new venture, things will come up. It’s a wonderful thing what you’re doing for pet business owners.”

“I’d owned my pet sitting business for nearly 3 years when I hit a crossroad…it was time to expand, but how? I had a lot of anxiety about bringing on new staff members. I didn’t know how to go about hiring or how to find the right people to help me in my pet sitting business. I found Kristin by accident on the Internet and it was the best thing that has happened to me since starting my business! She gave me the tools I needed to not only hire the right kind of people but also to boost my confidence and give me the support that I needed to take my business to the next level. After only three weeks after my coaching sessions with Kristin, I hired 5 great staff members and, thanks to Kristin, see a great future for my business.”

“When I decided to start my own pet sitting company, I was excited about my new venture but also scared and a little nervous about it because I didn’t know where to begin. Then I discovered Kristin’s Business Coaching for Pet Business Owners. Signing up for her coaching sessions was the best thing I could have possibly done for my business! I knew that just loving animals wouldn’t be enough to run a successful business.
My business continues to grow and I frequently have had customers tell me how impressed they are with my paperwork and how professional I am. I definitely owe this to the coaching sessions with Kristin and the Business Start Up Kit for Pet Sitters (which I purchased from her website) I would strongly recommend her coaching services and her business tools to anyone thinking about starting a pet sitting business.”

“When I first contacted Kristin for some guidance surrounding business taxes, I had no idea what that decision would come to mean for me and my business. I was impressed immediately with her professionalism and integrity. A kind and insightful woman; with a strong and successful pet sitting business, Kristin genuinely wants to help others succeed in this important but often undervalued business of pet care.
In the period of time I have worked with her, she has been an invaluable mentor for my pet care business. She has helped me understand under no uncertain terms that I can thrive and be completely successful doing what I love. Kristin has a knack for helping me let go of my resistant beliefs that I tend to cling to out of fear of moving forward. Thank you Kristin for having the moxie to do what you love!”

“Kristin has so much knowledge and confidence about the pet businesses, how to be successful, and her obvious love for business. It shows when she talks. Through her business coaching, I gained confidence to get to where I wanted to go in my business and I was able to raise my prices with my clients. After we spoke I was able to go to brand new clients and -for the first time ever- tell them what I charge without feeling fear. I made a lot more money last year by consulting with Kristin! I appreciate that Kristin wants me to be as successful as she is. I found her easy to talk to and she gives so much information to me each and every time we have a coaching session.”

“I was feeling good about my business but wanted to grow and had a lot of questions about how best to grow it so I contacted Kristin about a year and a half into my pet sitting business venture.
Wow, Kristin was the right person to contact. She is an AMAZING coach!
She was worth every cent I spent on her coaching service-I realize now she is a bargain considering the priceless information I got from her.
Kristin quickly assessed where I was in my business and gave me great recommendations on what to do next. I did exactly what she said and my business really benefited from doing the action steps she gave me.
I still work with her as things come up in my business and I continue to have great results from my work with her. I have one word to describe her coaching service: WOW!”

“We had owned our pet sitting business for about 3 years and were working 24/7. We were on the verge of burnout. We came across Kristin’s business coaching ad in a pet business magazine and realized we had nothing to lose by giving her a try since we’d tried everything else. We are SO glad we called her that day!
Kristin calmed us down and was sympathetic and encouraging. She helped us really understand that we just can’t do it all ourselves-we needed to hire pet sitters to work with us. Kristin helped us through the process of hiring a few pet sitters to work with us and thankfully we are now feeling much less stress. Kristin knows what she is talking about since she has run her own extremely successful pet business for many years now!
We would highly recommend Kristin’s business coaching for anyone looking for great business advice and specific instructions and answers to your business questions. Whether you are just starting your business or have been operating for several years like we have, Kristin is the answer! She is a wealth of pet business knowledge.”

“My pet sitting business guru is Kristin Morrison. I HIGHLY recommend all of her books and pet business products. Following her guidance changed my business and my life. Her book, “Six Figure Pet Sitting” has been my bible and has a whole chapter on how to hire staff. I’ve followed all her instructions and have had exponential success with hiring reliable, smart, attentive, and amazing staff members, several of whom have stayed working for my CPC for almost two and a half years and counting. I also recommend her “Business Hiring Kit: For Hiring Pet Sitting/Dog Walking Staff”. The price is well worth the guidance. If anything, just start off by buying her “Six-Figure Pet Sitting” book. It’s a pet sitting business owner’s GOLD.”

Today I had on my to do list to write a blog post.
BUT… I also needed to do a bunch of other things today like:
You’re a business owner. You know the drill.
Anyway, I really wanted to write this blog post before the day’s end. (Here I am writing the blog post, but I’m also writing about what’s helping me write it. It’s very meta, isn’t it?)
Long story short: I didn’t want to write this blog post. I wanted to dive into that sauna (the sauna that is currently heating up and that will be my reward for writing this). But a sauna at the end of my blog post writing wasn’t enough to get me to actually write a blog post.
<Brief pause in my writing right now to check to make sure the sauna is actually heating up. It is. Good. I’m back now.>
So, in comes one of my most powerful secret weapons for productivity. It’s my productivity sauce, people.
You may have heard me mention what I’m about to share here in one my webinars or in a coaching session you’ve done with me.
Or maybe you read about my productivity hack in my Facebook group for pet business owners, or in my Prosperous Pet Business podcast.
It’s one thing to read about it or hear about it. It’s another thing to actually do it. And today I did it.
So what is this “it” I’m referring to?
It’s virtual co-working. For 25 or 50-minutes you meet with a stranger by video at a time you both signed up for. They tell you what they are going to work on. You tell them what you are going to work on. And then you do it. At the end you check in and share briefly what you did.
Having that accountability: check in/take action/check out is POWERFUL.
I created a Focusmate matching system for pet business owners – your own group for pet business owners. It doesn’t mean you’ll always get matched with a pet business owner but if a pet biz owner books a session time at the same time you do, if you’re part of the group, you’ll get matched!
So I recommend you stop reading about it and join it now. It’s free for up to 3 sessions a week. Unlimited is just a few dollars a month. You’ve got nothing to lose, except some things on your to do list.
Find out more about Focusmate for Pet Business Owners.
The podcast is 100 today!
To celebrate this special 100th episode, 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 be part of it, but one had COVID and the other had internet issues.)

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.
