As business owners, we have to recognize that not only is our industry in constant flux, but so too are we. Pet Sitter Bible, Dog Walker University, and Sparky Go founder Josh Schermer gives his perspectives on what it means to lead in spite of fear and how to walk the line between being in control and being successful. He shares from his experiences growing his business, changing its structure, and learning to be a better leader. We also discuss his article on the state of the pet care industry and the perceptions of pet parents on the difference between an independent business and a “gig” worker.
