We’ve broken things down month by month to help you prioritize completing the course but you’ll get a full year’s of access to the material so you will have plenty of time to get through everything. The goal is progress…not perfection! We help you with monthly videos, action guides and checklists.
Is the time investment worth it? Will I see results?
If you view the lessons and complete each worksheet, the steps to implement all core system components will be identified for your business. Implement the action steps and your business will transform. You must decide how much increasing your pay and living your dream lifestyle is worth to you. Is having the business of your dreams in one year worth twelve months of study and extra effort? We provide a support system to encourage you to implement your plans; if you are willing to do the work you will see amazing results.
My business has systems so why do I need all the modules?
Most all businesses have some weak links and if you are reading this now, there is something you want to change about your business. To fully maximize your potential or grow your business to the next level you need to methodically review each system of your business. In strong areas you may not have any homework or may find a small adjustment that makes a big impact. To ensure you create a lifestyle of your dreams our course is both holistic and comprehensive.
My business is small. Will this still help me?
Absolutely! No matter what size of business you have, you can benefit from strengthening your systems, reviewing your pricing and service mix, and increasing your revenue. Lodging, dog daycare, pet sitters, dog trainers and grooming business owners have all found value in our program. If you want a bigger paycheck, Growth Intensive will help no matter how big or small your business.
I am going to open a pet care business in the future. Should I get this course?
If you haven’t opened your business yet, we would recommend Launch Formula. That is a course to help new business start ups get their business opened.
