🚨 Unpopular accountant opinion…
I don’t think the dog trainer with the most clients has automatically built the better business.
Sometimes a trainer is packed out every week, working six days, travelling all over the place and generating a higher turnover…
And sometimes another trainer is working fewer days, serving fewer clients and actually keeping more of what they earn.
Neither business is “wrong”.
They’re just built differently.
And that’s exactly why we don’t think turnover, client numbers or having a diary bursting at the seams tells you the whole story.
A successful dog training business isn’t always the busiest one.
Sometimes it’s the one that gives you the profit, flexibility and lifestyle you wanted when you started your business in the first place.
Because at the end of the day, turnover is vanity, profit is reality… and your time matters too.
Which would you choose?
🅰️ or 🅱️?
