As some of you may know, I’ve been unemployed for about 10 months now. I’ve been unhappy and discouraged with being an “Administrative Assistant” for which there seems to be billions in the Toronto area, all vying for the same job.
Cookie and I (I’m the one with the glasses).
Last weekend I put an ad on Kijiji offering my dog walking services. After all, I have two dogs of my own, I worked at a veterinary hospital for 6 years in various capacities and took an agressive dog course.
So yesterday, I registered my business name, got a license and a tax number! Durham Dog Walking and Pet Services is now legit!
Tonight we’re looking at various vehicles and the second I get my first customer, I’m purchasing insurance.
There’s a lot of advertising I have yet to do like flyers and business cards, I’ve set up a Facebook page and have started a blog.
Sadly, this means I won’t be sewing and blogging as much anymore. I will continue to participate in the Simply Solids Bee and there’s a super secret project I’m working on but I need to pound the pavement to be successful.
Thank you all for your continued support, please wish me luck in my new career!
