From Pet Sitter Confessional Pet Sitter Confessional, LLC

Where do you go for new ideas and adapt to changing business landscapes? The ability to create and seek out new ways of thinking is a super power. As a business owner, it's critical to staying successful and relevant to your clients. Maria Teran, owner of Chicawoof Dog Walking and Field Days, joins us for a conversation centered around how to seek out feedback and then make necessary changes. Maria walks through her two powerful tools for getting feedback, and why you have to leave emotion out of it. She also shares what it means to stay creative as a business owner and the importance of continually exposing ourselves to novel ideas. Throughout the process of changing and adapting, Maria stresses how to stay connected with your mission so you stay true to yourself.

Main topics

Everything changes
Adapting to client needs
Getting new ideas
Staying on mission

Main takeaway: Successful people don't gate keep. Lean into your community and those around you by sharing your experiences and knowledge.

About our guest:

For most people, pet care doesn't sound very interesting. For me, pet care is a passion I've been chasing for over 6 years. My curiosity and fascination with dogs landed me my dream job. First, North Bergen Pet Sitter in New Jersey, and now, taking The Windy City with Chicawoof! and Field Days where I'm focused on providing dog owners with personalized care, enrichment, and quality time.
