I speak to a lot of pet groomers who say to me they cant physically do any more dogs in a day and they still need / want to make more money. Well they can put their prices up but also look at adding on a valuable service!

The purpose of business is to make money. So once we make our money what do we do with it? I became frustrated with having some savings sitting around doing nothing. I decided to go out and get some education around investing that money in the markets. So far so good our money is invested and we are making a good return.
Alex Seery is an Entrepreneur, best selling author and invests his money in the markets too. He has also put together a training course to help others do it.
We all work hard so I thought it would be good for you to hear about how to make your money work harder.

We received a 1 star review the other day and this is my thoughts around it, how to respond to it and what to do about it.
Emma and I have run a Pet Groomers for 16 years now and have always employed staff. We pulled contracts off the internet and struggled with holidays, policies and generally made it up as we went along. I even tried to write a handbook for our staff. I spent days and day and days writing this thing and never published it! I got so frustrated when ever we called the chamber of commerce HR support line with questions and problems they would ask what our "Handbook" said!!!!
When we started our mentorship journey we soon realised we needed to outsource and this is where we met Megan. Boy did we meet her at the right time. Megan has been invaluable when it comes to help and support. She has also supported our staff too.
If you employ staff, rent a table, have an apprentice or thinking about doing that then this is a MUST listen. It was recorded Feb 2021.
