Introducing - Your Pet Business Content Planner and Companion, designed for people in the pet industry to help with visibility.

It has everything you’d look for in a content planner, like monthly themes, awareness days, and space to capture your ideas, goals, and reflections.

The Companion part is a guided journal, with exercises created for pet business owners to help you navigate the common challenges that come along.

I’m so excited to share this planner with you because it brings together everything I’ve noticed my clients need since I started working as a publicity and visibility coach back in 2019.

Plus, it has exercises to help with your mindset and be there, by your side, or in your handbag, when you need support and encouragement.

I’m talking through how the planner works in this episode, plus how to get your copy.

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.
