🐾 BNI Gateway to Success – Featured Speaker Spotlight 🐾

This week we were thrilled to hear from Featured Speaker Darlene Jacobson with Aussie Pet Mobile! Darlene shared how her team is dedicated to helping dogs feel and look their very best 🐶✨

She explained why regular grooming is so important—not only for appearance, but for a dog’s overall health and comfort. From preventing painful matting to identifying serious issues early, grooming truly makes a difference. She even showed a powerful example of a severe matting case, reminding us just how critical proper care can be.

With 9 professional groomers, Aussie Pet Mobile makes it easy—you never leave your driveway, they come to you! 🚐🐕

Thank you, Darlene, for educating and inspiring our chapter!

🎉 Congratulations to Kathleen Bergansky of KW Living! 🎉

Our Gateway to Success chapter is proud to recognize Kathleen as last week’s Best Weekly Presentation winner!

Kathleen delivered a fantastic and entertaining presentation on all the reasons someone might need to upsize or right-size their home—especially when it comes to hosting holiday dinners and making room for all the family (and surprises!) that come with them.

Her fun sense of humor and real-world examples reminded us that sometimes… a bigger home doesn’t just mean more space—it means more memories, more laughter, and maybe even a bigger table for those extra guests! 🏡✨
