I wish I’d had this handbook when I started my pet care business in 1995! This book is the culmination of my many years of learning the hard way — and often falling flat on my face — in order to realize what works and what doesn’t when it comes to running a successful, stress-free, six-figure pet business.
I wrote this book so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel in terms of dog training, pet grooming or dog daycare business success. It is my intention that, through these pages, you’ll find your own mastery and six-figure profit in the world of running a service-based pet business. Running a pet business is exciting and fun, and by applying what I’ve written in this book, it can be very lucrative and flexible too.
Warmly,
