What happens when you build a successful pet business… but forget to build a life around it?

Why do so many hardworking pet professionals stay busy, stressed, and tired — even when the business is technically "doing well"?

And how can you stop reacting to the year ahead… and start designing it on purpose?

In this end-of-year episode, I hit pause between Christmas festivities to reflect on what 2025 really taught me about business growth, and also about my energy, downtime, leverage, and clarity.

For me this was a year filled with travel-heavy months and packed event schedules but it was also the year I finally got intentional about rest, recovery, and building a business that supports the life you want, not one that consumes it.

I share why having a clear vision has been the single biggest driver of momentum in my own business, how losing that clarity temporarily made progress harder than it needed to be, and you'll discover why most pet business owners aren't stuck because they lack the right tactics — but because they lack a compelling picture of where they're heading.

Do you have such a vision? You will after this epsode

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Downtime Is a Strategy – How scheduled breaks improved focus, energy, and decision-making.
• Vision Creates Momentum – Why clarity pulls you forward faster than discipline ever will.
• Busy Isn't the Goal – The difference between growing revenue and building freedom.
• Leverage Over Labour – Why the next phase of growth must rely on systems, not more hours.
• Designing Your Year Ahead – How intentional planning beats reactive hustle every time.

If you're tired of being busy, burned out, and underpaid… and you're ready to transform your daycare into a premium, experience-heavy, profit-driven powerhouse… then IMPACT 2026 is the event you've been waiting for.
