    Setting Dogs and Their People Up for Success in Behavior, Health, and Life - Progress Thread

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    January feels like a nice win. I currently have 11 active clients (some carried over from last year) and I brought in ~$10.8K. My new goal is to have at least 3 months this year that are $10K. Maybe even have a $15K month by the end of the year. Still learning and growing and really enjoying...

    What Do You Wear and Why?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I usually wear modest, fairly plain clothing that isn't very bright. During the winter, I've been most often wearing skinny jeans (I favor my black ones) and some sort of sweater. As for shoes, usually some sort of low support, almost barefoot type shoe; lately this has been Converse. These...

    I can't believe it's only the 9th day of the new year. Things seem to be moving very fast, but maybe it's still too soon to tell if I'm having a small streak of luck or if things are actually taking off. At this point in 2025 I've already brought in ~$5,200. I just signed up a new client...

    Should I abandon my business

    IDEA EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Are there any other herbal supplements you could provide people? Ones more definitively legal or not in jeopardy of becoming illegal? And to build off what @amp0193 said, could you use more traditional forms of advertising like billboards, previews at movie theaters, radio, etc.?

    Thanks for your comments! Instead of charging hourly, people pay for the result. So, if someone really wants to make progress fast, we can meet 2x a week and if it's just basic obedience they'll be done in about 4 weeks (usually). If someone has a lot of other stuff going on, then we meet once...

    I'm feeling fortunate for something my grandmother instilled in me. She always used to write people cards. Christmas, birthday, etc. I've always loved doing it too, but now I'm expanding the personal practice into my business. Thank you notes, condolences on the passing of a pet, etc. People...

    What have you learned this year? (Updated: 2024)

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I learned that I'm happier being my own boss, even though I'm (currently) way more broke. to think about debt differently. that I'm not so unqualified even though I'm fairly new to my fastlane project of dog training. that losing a dog never gets easier. a lot about website design, marketing...

    Speaking to your #3 - go to some competitor's websites and see what people complain about in the reviews.

    PSA: Nicotine is a very bad idea

    HEALTH 
    Nicotine is something I never got addicted to. I'd smoke cigarettes socially at weekend parties in undergrad, but never felt I needed it and never missed it once I grew out of my partying phase. I now save smoking (like 3 drags of a cigarette) for really big things - like the end of my PhD and...

    Thanks for the reminder, Andy. I would be ecstatic if I had even just one or two more people sign up for a program this year. I'd like to get to a point where enough people saw my website, a flyer, or heard about me from someone else that I consistently have people reaching out and signing up...

    Roughly 74% of people who have contacted me have completed an assessment (pre-program "interview"). About 47% of the people who completed an assessment have signed up for a program (or are scheduled to sign contracts within the next week). Which means almost 35% of the people who have contacted...

    Great feedback, thank you! Awesome! So glad to hear that. There are a few things you can try. 1. You can manage rather than fix. This would be doing things like closing curtains/blinds, applying a tint film to the window to make visibility less, rearrange furniture if she's getting on it to...

    Thanks @BizyDad for the support and reminder that if this doesn't work out, it's not a failure. Also, I have to give you credit for the idea to try partnering with shelters etc. through referrals/donations. These things were suggested in a course I'm in by a dog trainer who pivoted to helping...

    Time for an update I suppose. The dog training conference I went to was amazing. I met a ton of awesome people, and even connected with a long-time trainer in my state. I have since joined a quarterly meetup of other dog trainers in my state and I have plans to shadow the first trainer I...

    New high school science teacher wanting to quit

    IDEA 
    It's not easy no matter how old you are. Please don't let your age be a limiting belief for you. Use your age as an advantage. Appeal to others around your age who might feel similarly to you, show them how healing nature has been to you in your current phase of life and how it can be the same...

    New high school science teacher wanting to quit

    IDEA 
    With your degrees, I would think you'd be able to get certified if you really wanted to. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea though. Are there any part time jobs you could try? Maybe be some sort of park ranger, tour guide, work at a museum, work at a zoo or botanical garden, tutoring...
