🐾 **KEY PERSON RISK IN PET CARE: IS YOUR BUSINESS TOO DEPENDENT ON ONE PRO?**

What would happen to your pet care business if one key person suddenly became unavailable?

Would things keep running smoothly, or would everything come to a screeching halt?

😬 Maybe it's an employee who knows all the clients, handles the daily operations, or is the only person who can do a particular job.

📱 Maybe it's an independent contractor, like your social media strategist, who manages an essential part of your business.

Either way, when too much knowledge, responsibility, or control rests with one person, your business could be more vulnerable than you realize.

This is called **key person risk**, and it's something every pet business owner needs to understand.

Join us as we talk about:
🐾 How to recognize key person risk in your business.
🐾 The hidden dangers of relying too heavily on one employee or independent contractor.
🐾 Practical ways to protect your business and reduce your dependency on any one person.
🐾 How to build a business that can keep moving forward—even when someone important is unavailable.

Because your business should support your life, not leave you feeling held hostage by the people it depends on!

❤️ **Let's talk about building a stronger, more resilient pet care business.**

📅 Date: Thursday, October 15, 2026
⏰ Time: 2:30 EST/ 1:30 CST

👇 **Let's hear from you!** If one key person were suddenly unavailable tomorrow, how would it affect your business?

A little enrichment, a little business planning, and a whole lot of love for learning. 🐾📚

Natasha is one of my original Enrichment Stylists. She works alongside her husband, and their latest way of putting the Pricing Precision book to use might be my favorite yet: he’s reading it aloud to their dog!

It’s enrichment for their pup, and a chance for Natasha and her husband to learn and work on their business together. Talk about a family business meeting with the best audience. 💛

Natasha picked up the book in Atlanta, then joined me for the Pricing Precision class in Orlando . I love seeing her keep building on what she’s learned and finding ways to bring enrichment into everyday life.

Thanks, Natasha, for sharing this sweet moment with me—and for letting me share your videos! 🐶

That’s a wrap! ✨A huge thank-you to Barkleigh for putting on a wonderful show, and to everyone who joined me for the Enr...

That’s a wrap! ✨

A huge thank-you to Barkleigh for putting on a wonderful show, and to everyone who joined me for the Enrichment Certificate Course and Pricing Precision. You brought such great energy, questions, and ideas to the classes—you’re what made them so special.

A big thank-you to Sue Zecco for answering questions and sharing her knowledge, too!

I’m also grateful to Jay Scruggs and Terry DiMarino for the opportunity to apprentice judge alongside each of you at this show. I learned so much!

And thank you to Cosmos Bathing Systems and Houndsly for sharing booth space with me. We sold so many workbooks that we nearly sold out!

If you wanted to take a class but couldn’t make it this time, keep an eye out—we’re planning virtual learning opportunities in the near future. I can’t wait to keep learning with you! 💛

When you have a impromptu field trip to the booth for human enrichment and run into one of your original enrichment stylist students and have her talk about what enrichment has done for her and the pets in her care. Natasha Harris ❤️
