Podcast Episode 204: Starting a New Dog Walking Business…. Or not!

On this solo episode, I’m going to be sharing with you some thoughts and brainstorms I’ve been working on for the past 6 months or so in my own pet business. I’ve been thinking about starting a new dog walking business. But there are a lot of moving parts to that, so I’m letting you in on my thought process around this potential new venture.

I’ve been a dog blogger for almost 9 years and I like to try new things to keep my business fresh. I’ve done over $100,000 in brand sponsored campaigns, I have my online shop, this podcast, online courses and my membership Wear Wag Repeat Society. Not to mention working with Lucy as a Therapy Dog volunteer team and training Burt in Barn Hunt. Oh yeah, and having a life.

A lot of people ask me how I do it all. I think it has a lot to do with always being excited about my work.

So, in this episode I’m going to be really honest and share with you where I haven’t been feeling excited lately and what I’m doing to change that. Could it be starting a new dog walking business? I’m not 100% sure yet, but I want to let you in on my thought process and how I go about deciding to add on a new element of Wear Wag Repeat.
