OK, big deep breath. I have been handed a great opportunity to start a grooming service at a local kennel. I went there to speak with them about another doggy related service I offer and thought they already offered grooming and was thinking that maybe I could work there rather than where I'm currently working and do two things there rather than one. (I'm in a corperate and while I like my boss and in general the other girls I feel a bit like a square peg in a round hole and well really want to be a square be peg again:-)
Well they haven't been doing any grooming other than release baths up to this point. And they are in the process of buliding a HUGE new building. They are willing to add full grooming services to what they have been doing. I got the feel of "Yeah we would like to offer grooming as we get asked about it frequently but arn't agressivly seeking a groomer as we are more focused on growing other areas of our business but are open and willing."
I feel like all I need to due is give them a sound business plan. This is what I want and hear are the numbers and I would have a job. I'm really excited but at the same time its not exactly what I was looking for. I am already in the process on starting a business and now I would be starting two. I know it not as much of a start as it would be a part of an established kennel doing well enough to expand but I would have to build the clientle from scratch. But I would have the chance to be myself.
Sorry for rambleing. I guess I'm just realizing that I have the opprountity that I wanted but it will need a lot more work than I expected. I think I'm crazy! Starting not one but two business with in a year of each other. HELP!!
