In this episode, Bill Betts chats with Dee Ann Allen, one of his amazing clients, about her inspiring journey from working in retail and food service to running her own pet grooming business.

Dee shares what it was like to make such a big career change and how she discovered that her real passion was working with animals. The conversation covers everything from setting the right prices to managing time better, and building a business that actually fits around your life – not the other way around.

They also discuss the lessons Dee learned from being part of the Pet Grooming Business Programme – including how to feel more confident in business decisions and how to create a better balance between work and home life.

If you’re at a turning point in your own career or just need a boost of motivation, Dee’s story is full of honest advice and practical tips that can help you move forward.

• It’s never too late to change paths. Dee moved from retail into grooming – and found her passion.
• Pricing is key. Reviewing and updating your prices helps you stay profitable and avoid burnout.
• Time management matters. Knowing how to plan your day makes running a business less stressful.
• Support makes a difference. Being part of a grooming community helps you grow faster and feel less alone.
• You don’t have to do it all at once. Dee shows that steady progress and small changes add up over time.
