Description

Are you feeling boxed in by the same old daycare model, but unsure what to change?

Ever wondered how a Midwest hotel with go-karts and water slides could teach you to sell more enrichment?

And are you still not sold on the idea of Mastermind meetings changing your business trajectory forever?

In this episode, I share stories and lessons from a whirlwind US trip that included mastermind meetings, connecting flights (a few more than planned), and a behind-the-scenes tour of Metropolis Resort - an adventure-packed Midwest hotel run by fellow mastermind member Brian Hahn. You'll hear how ideas from outside the pet industry can help you transform the way you price, position, and grow your own business.

Plus, I reveal how a surprise visit to a science museum sparked the idea for my next big pet biz diagnostic tool: the Dog Daycare Business X-Ray. Now, when someone enters my world, they'll be taken through this new process to identify blind spots, benchmark their current operations, and map out exactly what to fix next. It's the first step toward building a premium, future-proof business.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The Evolution Advantage – Why your business needs to grow, change, and sometimes completely reinvent itself.
  • Lessons from Metropolis – How a Midwestern hotel is schooling pet pros on memberships, upsells, and guest experience.
  • Get Out to Go Up – Why your best ideas often strike outside your business, not inside it.
  • Fresh Eyes, Bigger Profits – The power of cross-industry learning (and why copying your competitors won't cut it).
  • The Dog Daycare X-Ray – A sneak peek at Dom's new business diagnostic to help you identify and fix the real bottlenecks.
