249: From Crazy Decision to One-Year Anniversary: What Opening a Pet Business Taught Me (Part 2)

Last week, Candace shared the first five lessons from Dante and Dory's one-year anniversary. This week, she's revealing the final five and these are the ones that didn't announce themselves until the store was actually open. This is Part 2 of the two-part episode, featuring lessons six through ten. She also shares her bigger vision for Dante and Dory's future - not just for this year, but for decades. And she invites you to think about what legacy you want to build too. Plus a reminder about why you don't have to figure this out alone, and what support systems actually matter when you're building something real. She covers: 🏆 What nobody tells you about inventory management and timing 🏆 Why the relationships you build matter more than you think 🏆 The one thing that would have made everything easier if she'd known it sooner 🏆 How to think about profit when you're trying to build something bigger 🏆 A perspective shift that changes everything about how you approach your vision This episode is about more than just lessons learned. It's about permission - permission to build the business that's actually yours, not the one you think you should be building!
