Our classic grooming business management book,
From Problems to Profits,
was only the beginning. Over a 2 year period that began late 2006, we are releasing
6 new continuing education business workbooks, each on particular
aspects of grooming business management. Every workbook includes a computer CD-ROM
with special bonus features. Much of what you will learn and be provided
as tools exists nowhere else, don't be persuaded by clones that may arise.
Keep in mind that these are not how to groom training, but
business-related. Sources for schools and home study available
here.After
selling our famous pet salon of 26 years we spent 3 years writing From
Problems to Profits. The first edition was published in 1989 and at that
time we became the pioneer of management consultation firms dedicated to
the pet care industry. Today we have provided hundreds of one-on-one consultations to groomers
from around
the world. We've hosted dozens of lectures, seminars and workshops. Our
clients trusted us to write hundreds of business plans too.
So many groomers have stood up at our events and said,
"You must get your information out to every groomer, they need this info."
While we have consulted with thousands there are tens of thousands that
cannot reach us personally for services. Now we are turning to a home
study format to everyone continue their studies far beyond From Problems
to Profits. We're making the challenges of learning management as easy as
possible and with home study formats you study at your own pace. You can
even write a professional business plan that is as good as any other
how-to business plan software, if not better because it is written by
successful groomers for successful minded groomers.
We
call this SERIES of workbooks with CD-ROM's, the Grooming Business in a Box®
series.
Every workbook takes over 1 year to produce, making their knowledge and
tools easy-to-use and understand by any groomer or career seeker. We suggest that you own a copy of
From
Problems to Profits (sold separately) in order to maximize your learning experience. Read it
first and then continue with this new series. Anytime you order any "Box"
product you can add a copy of From Problems to Profits to you order for
only $23.00 each and no increase in shipping (applies only to phone
orders, not Paypal online).
Grooming Business in a Box® is the answer
to opening the door to EVERY groomer in the world to enjoy the benefits of
an education in the "business side" of grooming. It
saves you the expense of traveling to our events. It's affordable for
everybody. Our goal is to bring the knowledge of becoming a businessperson
that grooms to every groomer, anywhere. For nearly 20 years our clients
have told us we changed their business lifestyle for the better, and now
we can do the same for you at a reasonable fee. For as long as you own
your business you will use these educational products. In fact, many
people have found it easier to sell their business at retirement passing
along their copy of From Problems to Profits, and now our new series.
UPDATE: If you need assistance with a floor plan now, you can send us a
rough drawing of the layout you are considering and we will give you a
free evaluation, no hitches. Thanks for your patience. Contact Stephen at
