I don't know who or where you are now. You might be a mother contemplating returning to work, an employee trapped inside a dark room, or someone looking for a supplemental income. In any case, you are reading this guide because you've decided to make an important change in your own life. You want to control your destiny and take responsibility for your own success.

It is through your own efforts that success will be yours. Starting a dog walking business is easy and rewarding in many ways, including financially, but it doesn't happen without personal effort and commitment. In other words, it won't happen by itself. It seems obvious enough, but when you think about it, how many times have we purchased something in the hopes that it would make our lives better and instead it sits collecting dust in our basement? I can show you what to do, but you have to do the work to make it happen.

Dog walking services are in great demand these days, but there is competition. You need to set yourself apart; you need to make sure your phone rings. I am going to show you how.

One thing to start doing right now, wherever you are, is to visualize yourself running your company, having satisfied clients, and making money. Visualize yourself enjoying your business and watching it grow. All creation starts with a thought. You started creating your lucrative and enjoyable business the moment you purchased this book. By implementing the ideas it contains and combining them with creative visualization, positive thinking and, of course, through your own best efforts, that success can be yours. Stay positive, and if you hit a snag, do what the truly successful do when they encounter a setback, thank the world for showing you how not to do something! Even setback is a chance to learn something. If the successful treat setbacks like gold, so should you!

Remember, "Fortune favors the bold.''
