What would happen if you stopped for a moment and actually looked at how far you've come
in your business?

How much easier would things feel if you recognised the wins, the lessons, the mistakes, and
the mentors who helped you get here?

And what breakthroughs might you unlock if you took stock of everything you should be
thankful for as a pet business owner?

In this Thanksgiving-themed episode, I take a breather from the post-Hershey whirlwind to
reflect on the major moments, decisions, and people that have shaped my business journey.
From leaving Imperial Tobacco, to finding the right clients, to building a team I trust, I lay
out the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to create a business that grows, evolves, and
keeps moving forward even when an unstable economy, government changes, or other people
make it feel harder than it needs to be.

You'll hear my gratitude list (with a few surprises on it), the pitfalls I've learned from, and
why I credit much of my success to the mentors and masterminds who helped me skip years
of pain and fast-track real progress. I also dive into the importance of pricing courage,
innovation, better boundaries, and attracting the right clients – the ones who make the work
feel like fun rather than friction.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The Power of Being a Business Owner – Why choosing this path (and sticking with
  it) is something to be proud of.
• Clients Worth Protecting – How the right customers make your business lighter,
  happier, and far easier to grow.
• Mentors & Masterminds – Why fast progress happens when you stop guessing and
  start listening to people who've done it.
• Learning From Mistakes – How failures like the online store became fuel for better
  systems, smarter pricing, and stronger positioning.
• Courage, Growth & Innovation – Why pushing out of your comfort zone is the key to bigger breakthroughs in 2026.

If you've been head-down, grinding through the chaos of Christmas bookings, staffing
headaches, or end-of-year admin, this episode is your reminder to zoom out, breathe, and
acknowledge the progress you've already made, and the opportunities waiting for you.I
