I’ve started my own business

[Wombatsandstuff]

So, I posted on here a few months ago asking about advice for dog walking businesses. I got some great advice and now I’m proud to say I’ve completed a course to give me business advice, dog walking and pet sitting advice, and first aid training. I also have set up my dog walking business.

I’ve got two meet and greets set up for this week. And I’m excited but super nervous. I’m autistic too and it doesn’t really help matters but I’m confident in what I know and can do.

I know I’m boasting and you guys don’t like that. But I’m super happy with myself and needed to share. I’ve come along way in the last 4 years and I’m finally in a place where I can do this.

You’ve done a great thing starting your Business and I apologise if talk of a Business plan causes you any stress, I hope I didn’t come across as being negative
I am a small Business Mentor so I help people start Businesses all the time which is why I feel some sort of plan (Even a very informal one) is a good idea but as with all things when you own a Business it is ultimately your decision
Best of luck to you, I wish you every success[/quote]
Thank you,

No worries. I know I probably should do one even if it’s basic but I always put things like that off. I think it’s unlikely I’ll ever need one though, but you never know.

Good luck with your business!

Whereabouts are you? Do you have a website/Facebook page?

I’m near Aberdeen. I’d share but it has all my information and picture on it.

Thanks everyone for the good wishes,

Congrats!!

Good luck with your business OP!

I started a business 10 years ago and have never been happier.

Theo Paphitis recently said that good businesses for this year were anything pet, baby or luxury food related. They stand up well in tougher times.

Wow OP.. Well done you💐 keep us updated as to how you get on 😊 you should feel so proud of yourself xx

Well, I’m super happy with myself today. I successfully gained a client. Go me. The dog is super cute and is so lovely.

Congrats OP for putting yourself out there!! I wish you all the best!

Well done

I found that once you had a few clients to share on social media, the rest came flooding in :)
