Pet Boarding and Daycare Podcast with Dominic Hodgson

Ep. 56 – The Power of a Pet Business Mastermind: The Secret Growth Engine Your Doggy Daycare Needs…
Ever feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel in your pet business – working harder than ever but not seeing the growth you want?
What if the fix for a more successful future isn’t in another course, certification, or social media hack – but in joining a mastermind?
So, what exactly happens at a mastermind, and is it really possible to achieve years of growth in just a few short months?
In this episode, Dom Hodgson reveals how masterminds work, why they’re the go-to strategy for top-performing pet business owners, and how they can help you achieve more in six months than most manage in six years. He shares his own journey from exhausted, overworked pet professional to running a multi-business, global empire with the help of masterminds.
But it isn’t just Dom that thinks masterminds are key, you’ll also hear from thriving pet professionals who’ve experienced breakthrough success after joining Dom’s Elite Mastermind over in the UK. You’ll hear how Harriet Goodall wrote a book in just three months, how Tim Jackson tripled his profits and transformed his daycare into a community hub for enrichment, and how others made bold moves that would’ve seemed impossible if they’d stayed stuck working alone.
Not everyone needs to be in a mastermind, but it might just be the missing piece of your pet business puzzle…
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- The Power of the Hot Seat – How one session can deliver game-changing clarity.
- The ‘Phenomenon’ Effect – Dan Kennedy’s secret for achieving years of growth in just months.
- Collaboration & Accountability – Why isolation is the silent killer of pet business growth.
- Real Results – Hear directly from mastermind members who’ve tripled profits, launched new services, and built systems for long-term success.
