2025 is the Time to Grow Your Pet Business
If you are like I was back in 2012, you are seeing that running your pet business with Independent Contractors is unsustainable and is keeping you from building your business the way YOU want it.
This Bridge the Gap course is for you if:
* You are concerned about the increase of DOL audits for employee misclassification and don’t want to risk your business
* Your vision is a pet business that offers consistent, repeatable services from your trained TEAM of professionals
* You want more protection for your clients and your intellectual property
* You are tired of tip-toeing around the regulations and forcing the mold on what an “independent contractor” really is
Sound familiar?
Sign up for the Bridge the Gap course so we can get you on the right track for 2025

Should I choose the DIY or the VIP course?
Well that depends on you. Are you great at self-learning and accountability? Then DIY it all the way!
If you need accountability and would prefer being in a small group of business owners who are all tackling this together for encouragement and support then the VIP option would be best for you. It will provide the most tactical application on a weekly basis with Live Q&A sessions and support from Janie.
Should I do this now or wait until next year?
Well that depends on what your goals are. If your vision is to have a strong team and a strong culture that is highly valuable on the market in 2025 then why wait? This course is at the perfect time to check all the boxes to be ready for employees starting in the new year if you do the work to get there.
What kind of information will I receive in the course?
No matter if you choose the DIY or the VIP version you will receive the WHY and HOW to get you across the finish line. There will be discussions about making sure you are profitable, swipe files for employee and client communications, and resources to help you decide on payroll, Workers Compensation, and other critical decisions to move forward.
