427: Finding Flexibility and Freedom with Shade Long

How much is your time worth to you? As busy business owners, we often get caught up in the grind and hustle of our day-to-day operations. Ultimately, we have to step back and ask what truly matters in our lives. Shade Long, owner of Complete Pet Care, joins the show to share the learning curve she's experienced over the last two years. From managing massive business growth amidst overwhelm, to refining her onboarding process, she's finding ways to strike a better balance. Shade explains why it's not all about bursting at the seams and emphasizes that you can run the business you want while also having a life outside of it. Main topics: Handling business growth On-boarding new clients Hiring a good fit Taking a step back Main takeaway: You may be available for clients, but you should be busy with your life. About our guest I love animals! I've worked in grooming salons, luxury boarding facilities, doggy daycares, animal shelters, animal control and trained hands on in a vets office. The past two years I've worked almost everyday building the pack I have today! When I'm not caring for my furry friends I love being in nature, preferably by the water, if not kayaking in it.
