Resources for Pet Professionals are Applicable for Life!

Here is one: day three of a free conference.

How to Thrive in Your Pet Business (and in Your Life)

An entertaining interview of Kristin Morrison who organizes this free online series of videos called a ‘conference.’ Morrison is interviewed by a friend (both forty-somethings), so pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of wine and prepare to giggle at the antics of these two long-time friends, even with the sound turned off.

Ah, they finally say the word, dog! (I was afraid they would get to the end without doing so.)

Series of Videos

The fourth annual free Prosperous Pet Business Online Conference began Wednesday, 18 October, and runs for more than two weeks. First you register, so those putting on the conference can send you advertising emails for the next year! In addition, you can access the one or two new half-hour video interviews each day on various pet or general topics. (However, after 24 hours, each video becomes un-free but still available for purchase.)

Day Three

I believe this video is Day Three, though it may have been distributed early – I found it on Day Two and I can’t find the Day Four email in my email or my junk mail or even my ‘halfway email.’ Regardless, it is available free now – until 10 am PDT Saturday, or maybe Sunday, is very minimally pet centric and more general life oriented.

We found it highly entertaining and inspirational yet low on information.

Content

According to the website, in this segment you will learn:

·       -- How to put the pieces together to make the business work in a congruent way

·       -- Why selling your service or taking actions to uplevel your business probably won’t work if you aren’t doing this one action

·       -- How to take in positive and negative feedback from clients (it’s probably not what you might think)

·       -- Some of the hardest issues facing pet business owners today and what to do about those issues

·       And much more! 

Sounds too good to be true! And though I am good at listening and taking notes, I didn’t take notes: afterwards, I had trouble remembering the bullet points that were mentioned.

How Morrison Started

Morrison started walking dogs 22 years ago and, three months after working for someone else, she started her own dog walking business: five years later she was ‘coaching’ others on how to start a pet business (probably had a business or psychology background). Today, her business is called Prosperous Pet Business and she has authored Six-Figure Pet Business in which she interviews some stars of the pet world.

Previous years’ conferences are also available. They are worth a look and appeal to very different kinds of people.
