Once upon a time I would have looked at a day with 3 dogs on the schedule and thought I surely was not doing enough. I thought constantly saying "I'm too busy with work!" meant I was really successful, but I don't really feel that way anymore.
What's the point of building a successful career if you don't have any time left to enjoy the life you worked so hard to create?! In fact, I literally started my 10th year in business by technically "downgrading" from my bigger, more powerful Dyna van to the small, battery powered Pet Pro+ van as an intentional way of giving myself permission to do LESS.
I still have 3 busy days per week, with my assistant and I cranking out 7-8 dogs Monday-Wednesday-- except cranking out isn't the right word because our closed, well-maintained, curated client list allows us to focus on each dog on our table without rushing to the next one.
But I really appreciate the 3-dog days, the breathing room, the free time, and having built a business that fits into my life instead of becoming me while life.
I LOVE YOU MOBILE DOG GROOMING!!
