Don’t you just love using four-letter words?
They have power.
Use the right ones at the right time and you’ll succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
They make you feel good, keep you energized and have others looking up to you in admiration.
I’m not, of course, talking about those four-letter obscenities. I’m talking about the two four-letter words that most of us forget about.

Earlier this month, I was thrilled to be asked to write for the Technorati Small Business Channel.
Technorati was founded to help people discover great blog content, and their network of media sites was just ranked the 5th largest media property.
Needless to say, I’m stoked to have been given this opportunity to expand my business knowledge to a wider audience.
With that said, below are the first 5 articles published on Technorati. I’m certain pet sitters can find value in these posts.

October 24 was National Pit Bull Awareness Day, which is a nationwide event to bring positive awareness to the heavily misunderstood breed.
Why do I feel so strongly about speaking up for the Pit?
Maybe it’s because I often feel misunderstood myself. Or that I love all animals equally. Or that I’d rather spend time with a furry creature than with most of the people in my life.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m a Leo, as social as they come, and label myself a ‘people person.’ But if our focus remains on proposed legislative bills to specifically ban dogs based exclusively on its breed, I’d like to turn the tables for a minute and shine the light on the human.

This was the question I posed to the PetSittingOlogy community after reading plenty of articles online that included pet sitting as a way for kids, teens or adults looking to make money fast.
A sampling of articles claimed that anyone can turn to pet sitting for a quick buck.

We recently updated our “What Is PetSittingOlogy (About Us)” page (check it out, you can listen to an interview and learn more about my background).
The following list of 8 components was originally featured on that ‘About’ page but didn’t fit the bill during our page revamp.
So, it’s now restructured into a full-featured blog post here. Please make it feel welcome.
And, here we go…

My wife Alitia absolutely loves our Tivo. She’s also the one in charge of the remote control, for the record.
One of the brilliant ways Alitia saves us money each month is on movie rentals.
Instead of shelling out $5 per rental (or more on a Netflix service fee), she’ll go through the Tivo guide and search our channels for upcoming movies to record.
We then build up a library of movies to watch at our leisure (with no late fees, of course). A common enough practice.
Apparently, we’ve been catching a string of movies about dogs and honestly I don’t know how many more I can take.

Who can use a healthy dose of good news right about now?
Well, if you’re a member of PSI (Pet Sitters International) or NAPPS (National Association of Professional Pet Sitters) you are now eligible to receive quality and affordable health care.
If your pet sitting business is your main source of income, you may have found health care to be a near impossibility to afford or obtain.
