Cooking Up New Ideas

As business owners we become so focused on the day to day activities that we forget to look at the bigger picture. We have discussed money and business plans but now it is time to focus on how you keep growing so that your business can grow. We often plan to attend the industry trade show and conference or a regional meeting. Those are great times to meet with other business owners and share ideas. But sometimes we can learn […]

Pet Care Services Bankrupted, Now What? Fertilizer!

Let’s just get this all out on the table. Bankruptcy makes picking up dog poop a dream job. Nobody really wants to pick up dog poop, but the dogs appreciate the clean yard and you may just get a doggy kiss or two as you go about cleaning up the yard. Bankruptcy however is a different story. All other options appear to have been exhausted and there isn’t enough money to keep the business alive.  Nobody wants to file bankruptcy […]

Are You “Adding Value” To Your Services?

Last year, I took my dog to a doggie daycare for the day. I usually purchase several days worth of daycare to get a better rate which is “added value” to me. But this particular day the doggie daycare was trying to meet an in-house goal. As I purchased my “daycare package” of choice, they met a “mile marker” and rewarded me, the customer, with a dollar bill. Now, I can hear you saying a buck? Really? How is that […]
