Thinking about working less without sacrificing the growth of your pet business? In Part 2 of this live coaching session, I sat down with Jonie, owner of Happy Walks Pet Sitting, to uncover what's really keeping her stuck working long hours.

Together, we identify hidden bottlenecks stealing 12–15 hours from her week, discuss how to transition team members into roles they're passionate about, and create a plan to help her move closer to her goal of a 30-hour work week.

If you're overwhelmed by scheduling, drowning in admin work, struggling with hiring decisions, or wondering how to create more freedom in your pet business, this coaching session is packed with practical strategies you can apply immediately.

✨ You'll learn:
•⁠ ⁠How to identify the tasks stealing your time
•⁠ ⁠Ways to streamline scheduling and client onboarding
•⁠ ⁠How to empower your team based on their strengths
•⁠ ⁠Systems that create more freedom and less stress
•⁠ ⁠The mindset shifts needed to step into your CEO role
