Notes from Chris

Episode 2349
Today we’ve got a question from Laura in Houston, a dog trainer who wants to sell training equipment and toys. So, grab a cup of tea or coffee, sit back, and let's dive into some tips on how Laura can price her work, create a portfolio, and promote her services to the right audience.

"Hey, I'm Laura from Houston. In my spare time I’m a dog trainer specializing in positive reinforcement techniques. I've trained dogs for obedience, agility, and even as therapy animals. I want to start a second side hustle creating and selling custom-made dog training equipment and toys, focusing on durable, eco-friendly materials. How can I leverage my training expertise to create products that are both functional and appealing to pet owners? I love the show, so keep up the good work and thanks for taking my question!"
