I would like to wish all my wonderful clients and their furbabies a Happy New Year. Thank you all so much for your continued support, it really does mean so much to me and look forward to seeing you all in 2023.

I also have a little bit of exciting news for you all. I have ordered my new (larger) van which, fingers crossed, should be here by the summer. I have so many ideas for the conversion and can't wait for you all to see it. I'm sure the babies will all love it too (I may even have a TV in there for them🤣😁) 🐶

Thank you to all my wonderful clients for your continued support, I really do appreciate it.

However, I am now fully booked and having to close to books for the foreseeable future.

Please note that this closure will be for dog grooming clients only.

This will not apply to anyone wanting nail clipping, teeth cleaning or microchipping appointments.

Thank you again for all your love and support you have all shown 💜

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business ❗❗

Running a business is really hard.....

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people 😫

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.....😢

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store 💰❌

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails 📲📞📧

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance ⚖

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control 🙈

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around ✅🙌

Copied and shared from another business owner but the sentiment is the same.

Whats your biggest business challenge?
