I know with being six days away from Christmas that planning for your dog walking business in 2020 is probably the last thing on your mind. However, I strategically posted this before Christmas so that you have time to get your thoughts flowing.
I want to help you come up with a plan to grow and exceed your expectations for business planning in 2020.
Biggest Take Away You Don't Want To Miss
There's a major difference between planning for your dog walking business and goal setting. Where making plans can include a to do list that never stops growing, setting goals are concrete, quantifiable and specific. When you set a goal you need to give yourself an end date and start breaking down the processes necessary to get there.
Most importantly, you need to hold yourself accountable or get an accountability partner that can.

This is episode 176 of Bella in Your Business. Hi there, I'm Bella Vasta from Jump Consulting. You might know me from CBS, NBC, Fox, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, or maybe you've seen me speak on stage or read my book, The Four Dogs That Every Business Owner Needs. In any case, get ready because you're about to get your hashtag Bella Butt Kickin' in this next episode of Bella in Your Business.
So what do you say? Let's get ready and jump. I know that with six days away from the actual Christmas holiday, business planning for your dog walking or pet sitting company in 2020 is probably the last thing on your mind. But I have strategically placed this episode right before Christmas because I know the next round of marketing that’s going to be hitting your eyeballs is all about New Year’s resolutions and planning for 2020.
So what do you say that I get your thoughts flowing on a couple of topics here and let you know how I do things, how I suggest you could do things, and some other different ways that you might not have heard about. There are so many different things that you have to think about with your business and planning because, let’s face it, if you don’t actually plan for your business, what happens is you start becoming very reactionary. You just start reacting to things that happen—crises, interruptions, and questions from your team—and you end up responding to everything instead of intentionally leading.
We have marketing and sales, staff and clients, advertising, growing lists, keeping staff and clients happy, learning about social media changes, networking locally, managing invoices, cancellations, schedules, balancing your books, and tracking your business’s financial health. There are so many things we have to juggle. And at the end of the day, most of us want to grow. I haven’t met a single pet sitter or dog walker who’s said they want to downsize. But how do we grow, and what does that really mean?
It makes me sad to see so many business owners whose companies are running them over. They’re flattened by the workload and barely keeping up. With 2020 coming, we have a clean slate—a chance to reset. But if you’re bringing the same mindset you had in 2019 and haven’t achieved your goals, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about different ways to plan and the difference between planning and goal setting.
When you plan, you’re focused on to-do lists—tasks to check off today, this week,
