I thought this book was very informative and a must read for any groomer who owns his/her own business or for anyone interested in going that route. It contains tons of useful information that are helpful in giving you that boost needed to revamp or build a business. If you've been asking yourself questions about your business and wondering if it could be better this book
By Sam Kohl will tell you yes or no and affirm those thoughts you've been having about the direction in which your business is headed. The author of this book is super successful and if there is any one in the field who's advice one should seek to read up on I would say Mr. Kohl is the man for the job. The book was a joy to read, so dive in and have fun.
