If You Do Not Find Excitement and Inspiration from this Video, Something Is Wrong
Every successful business owner understands that they need to learn from others.
Whether it’s in the form of following their journey and reading their work, or having a mentor, success rarely happens without some influence of others.
Marcus Sheridan is someone outside of our industry who I personally follow, learn from and admire.
More importantly, the main reason I’m so excited to bring Marcus into our industry is because the way he succeeded is something that pet sitters can replicate.
Marcus began as a pool guy. He owned a pool company that installed fiberglass pools to his local community. He’s a local small business provider.
And so are pet sitters. While looking bankruptcy in the face, Marcus changed directions and used his website as his biggest form of marketing and now his pool company makes over $4 million a year!
The nuggets he provides in this insightful video can and should be used by pet sitters starting today.
Grab a pen and paper and take notes. He discussed things you can take action on right now to make huge progress. (Some pet sitters already have!)
PS – Marcus will be returning to our pet sitting conference in Las Vegas for a second year. His presentation alone is a reason to join us.
