How to choose the right pet business coach - 3 styles to consider

How to choose the right pet business coach - 3 styles to consider

Author: Rachel Spencer August 27, 2024 Duration: 16:31

Are you looking for a coach to support you in growing your pet business?

Working for yourself can be hard, and having a coach means that you have someone in your corner to support and guide you.

Like dog training, the coaching industry is unregulated, and there are lots of different kinds of coaches you can turn to.

In this podcast episode and blog, I'm exploring three different approaches to coaching you can choose from, so you can figure out which best suits you.

Key topics and timings in this episode:

0.02 - Episode introduction.

0.30 - Why I decided to cover this topic.

1.09 - Regulation in the coaching space.

1.52 - The difference between coaching and mentoring.

4.05 - Type one - the My Way coach or mentor.

5.24 - Type two - the My System coach or mentor.

7.40 - Type three - The Coach coach or mentor.

10.26 - What I've learned while investing in all three types of coaching and mentoring.

12.26 - Why it's key to choose the right style for what you need, and how there is no right or wrong style.

14.20 - How you can work with me either one to one as a coach or in my Pets Get Visible membership where I have a coaching approach.

If you're fed up with being told what to do and are looking for the approach in option 3, this is how I work. Book a free call with me, and let's see if we're a good fit.

There's a persistent myth in the pet industry that success requires a rigid, one-size-fits-all formula. Your Pet Business, Your Way exists to dismantle that idea entirely. Hosted by Rachel Spencer, a journalist and accredited coach with deep roots in this world, this podcast is a conversation for pet professionals-groomers, trainers, walkers, product makers-who feel exhausted by generic marketing advice and industry trends that clash with their personal values and lifestyle. Rachel brings her background as a mentor and author to frank discussions about building a sustainable enterprise that doesn't demand you sacrifice your family time, your sanity, or your unique voice. Episodes delve into practical strategies for marketing, client relationships, and entrepreneurship, but always through the lens of your individual circumstances. You'll hear from Rachel directly, as well as insights from others navigating the same path, focusing on how to grow a business that genuinely fits around your life, whether that involves kids, other passions, or simply a desire for more autonomy. This isn't about following a rulebook; it's about writing your own. Tune in for a refreshingly realistic take on creating a pet business that thrives on your terms, making this podcast a trusted resource for anyone who believes their love for animals and their personal ambitions can truly coexist.
