Episode 102. Manage “Always On” Expectations in Your Pet Biz

Author: Kristin Morrison | Pet Business Coach | Pet Sitting, Dog Walking and Dog Training Business Tips March 8, 2022 Duration: 36:53

Today’s coaching client is Katie, the owner of Katie’s Care, LLC. When she showed up for this podcast coaching session, she was working 24/7, feeling like she was always “on” and having a hard time saying no to her beloved clients. She also wasn’t making much money given the large amount of hours she was working each week. Like a lot of pet business owners, Katie was feeling stretched to the max and this coaching session is all about how she can begin to create the kind of pet business and personal life she’d like to create. If you can relate to any of this, you’ve come to the right podcast episode!Visit the show notes page:
