The Poodle to Pitbull Pet Business Podcast
Are your prices attracting the wrong kind of clients? Could charging more actually make your pet business more desirable? And how much is fear costing you every month you remain underpriced? In this episode, I’m tackling one of the biggest and most expensive problems in the pet industry: undercharging. After coaching more than 3,000 pet business owners over the last decade, I’ve seen the same pattern repeatedly. Owners start too cheap, stay too cheap, and allow the complaints of one or two vocal penny-pinchers to dictate their entire pricing strategy. I explain why low prices don’t...

And could pressing pause actually be the thing that helps you move faster when you return? In this episode, I’m sharing a lesson from a recent week away in Menorca with Beth, where we did very little on purpose. No laptop, no emails, no social media, and no heroic “just checking in” nonsense. Just rest, reading, swimming, talking, and a proper reset after a very busy first half of the year. I explain why downtime is not a luxury, but...

info_outlineAre you full of great ideas but unsure which one will actually grows your pet business?
Do you keep launching new offers while ignoring the easy wins sitting right under your nose?
Are you offering amazing services but suck at selling and making money fro your passion for pets?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, I take you inside a week in the life of my mastermind coaching calls.
These conversations aren’t wishy-washy 'manifest money at will' bullsh!t motivational sessions - they’re real business owners dealing with real problems in real time.
So in this weeks show, I break down the most common (and costly) challenges pet business owners are facing right now - and share the exact advice I give that’s helping them move forward faster.
You’ll hear why most owners are spread too thin, how to identify your true “business critical” priority, and how to avoid falling into the trap of shiny object syndrome. I also unpack the hidden power of low-hanging fruit - those easy wins that most people overlook -and why jumping straight into a membership model won’t save your business if the foundations aren’t solid.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
• The Clarity Advantage – Why narrowing your focus to one business-critical priority can unlock faster, more meaningful progress.
• Shiny Object Syndrome – How to stop chasing new ideas and stick to what actually moves the needle.
• Low-Hanging Fruit Wins – How to spot quick-win revenue opportunities hidden in your existing client base.
• Sales as a System – Why selling daycare or boarding needs more than a pricing tweak—it needs a full sales process.
• Don’t Skip the Steps – How rushing into a membership model (without the right structure) can do more harm than good.
