I founded my company in a parking lot with a chalk board and a $500 budget. Six years ago I decided to take my business to the next level of success. Today, K-9 Coach is a growing 7 figure business that serves the Atlanta area offering retail, training, boarding, grooming, speciality services and playcare. Over the past 6 years, I have embraced entrepreneurship, leadership and mentorship, while diversifying both my business offerings and my business holdings while learning from some of the best in the business. Last year, I began working and consulting with an intimate group of entrepreneurs that are learning and gathering insights from Sir Richard Branson at his home: Necker Island. I cannot wait to share with other attendees 5 of these insights that will shake up how you view your business. Please feel free to talk to me about dogs, dog training and behavior, children (I have a 7 year old son whom I adore), growing or launching a business, social media, leadership skills, mentorship, community service, board service, being a female business owner, caring for a large group of dogs, employee retention and motivation, diversifying your offerings, taking risk, overcoming obstacles, Starbucks coffee and anything else that comes to mind!
