Black Friday Business Coaching Special

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving yesterday! (well if you were in the US..). Today in the US is known as Black Friday – a day when all the stores have super special deals starting very early in the morning. The reason it’s called Black Friday is that it is the first day of the year when many stores enter the black and start making a profit as we move into the holiday buying season. Well I thought I’d also celebrate Black Friday with my own special deal. I want to work with small business owners like you who need to talk through an issue, brainstorm new ideas for 2011, or just get some extra support. I am offering you the opportunity to purchase 2 x 1 hour phone coaching sessions with me for only $79. This is less than 1/2 price what I normally charge (typically $85 for a 45 min session!) but I’m offering this as I really want to help you move forward as we wrap up 2010.

Owning a pet business does not guarantee you success, but it is generally not difficult to set up your own pet business adn many who own pet businesses love the hard working lifestyle and the closeness to pets. You will have to compete with those who may be better trained, may have lower cost structures and those who “pretend” to have your skills and experience when they do not. (eg not all those who advertise themselves as groomers are actually Groomers).

There are also key skills that all dog industry professionals should possess. Here are some of the most critical skills and abilities for those hoping to work with dogs professionally: Basic Dog Handling and Training Skills, ability to recognize behavioral signals.

Animals can be somewhat unpredictable when they are under stress or in an unfamiliar environment, like when they visit the veterinary office or the grooming salon, so it is important to be attentive and stay aware of the animal you are handling at all times.
