297: Evolving as a Business Owner with Michelle Sabia

How do you grow in the role of being the founder of your company? Many of us feel uncomfortable using such formal titles in our businesses, but words have meaning for a reason. Michelle Sabia, owner of Paws and Claws Pet Sitting, discusses what it's like growing into new roles in her business. She shares how her expansion into a brand new market has been going, and how she has been trying to break her addiction of working 24/7. She also encourages us to get more involved in pet sitting organizations. Main topics Founder role Expanding into a new area State of hiring Decision fatigue Groups for pet sitters Main takeaways: As the business owner, you are obligated to spend time thinking about, and planning for, the future. About our guest: A little bit about me; I moved from Washington, Connecticut to Cave Creek, Arizona with my family in 1999. I was too young to choose where we moved but beyond grateful to land in Cave Creek! I have been a grateful "Creeker" for the past 20 years while remaining very close to my roots in CT. My whole life I have had a love and respect for all animals! They have always been a part of my life. I can remember pet sitting for our neighbor who had a litter of kittens when I was 10 years old (Best job EVER!). Fast forward to today I have been able to turn my years of experience into an incredible company! I started Paws & Claws Pet Sitting Services, LLC with the goal to help care for other pets just as I have my own.
