From Fur to Fortune: How a Dog Groomer Is Solving His Hiring Crisis by Opening a School.
In partnership with
You won’t believe what kind of school I get to be part of…
Timeline: This happened 2 weeks ago…still shocked.
I just got off a call with a guy who runs a dog grooming business, and not just any business.
He’s booked out two months in advance because there aren’t enough qualified groomers.
Most people would see that as a problem.
He saw it as a golden opportunity.
With my help, he’s launching his own Dog Grooming Academy.
Why you ask…
Because instead of waiting on the industry to catch up, he’s creating his own talent pipeline.
He’ll train people.
He’ll certify them.
He’ll hire the best and help the rest find work elsewhere.
This move is about more than solving a staffing shortage.
It’s about owning his market.
He's already planning two more locations, and now he has a predictable way to staff them.
Here’s the real lesson:
When most people think of “trade schools,” they picture electricians, HVAC techs, welders…
But opportunity doesn’t care about industry labels.
Trade schools aren't just for blue-collar jobs.
They’re for every business owner smart enough to build the workforce they wish existed.
