Fur The Pet Studio just turned FOUR.
It is almost unbelievable that we've been on this journey for four years. I've wanted to throw in the towel, many, many times. I knew nothing, ZERO, starting out and am still learning SO much about business operations. It's hard to be the one making all the calls to keep a business up and running, keeping clients happy and taken care of, and trying to also keep bills covered and be present at home, without constanly feeling like one area isn't getting the best of you at any given moment.
This has all been a HUGE learning experience along the way. I started this business on nothing but hope and risk. It was so scary, I don't think I gave myself a minute to be excited. Or a minute to be proud of myself and my accomplishments. Starting up, I had saved up JUST enough money in tips to be able to pay for one months rent and shampoo. I financed my table and dryer, and just took a leap of faith that it would work out. I do not advise starting a company this way, very stressful lol. š
I was submitting applications everywhere I could and setting up little side jobs, just in case it didn't work out. But, I needed desperately to leave the environment I was in, I got an offer I couldn't pass up, and I knew I wanted my career to grow. So, I lept. With next to nothing financially to fall back on.
And you all have kept me going since day one. I have been booked and busy since I've opened. Constantly getting referrals and inquiries. I still have a long way to go, so much to learn and to do differently, and inevitably some more difficult decisions to make, but you guys, people and pets alike, keep this going everyday.
I love what I do. I love seeing you. I love hearing about your day, and your family, and all the things. I love connecting with you guys, and earning your trust with your fuzzy companions. And I am so eternally grateful for all of the ways you guys support me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Here's to hope for more years in business, success, growth-and hopefully better time management and organization on my end. š¤
Happy birthday to us!!
