Hello everyone! Well, we finally did it. We are starting this adventure of blogging, Twittering, Facebooking, etc. So much work, so little time! But fun. ALthough I should have started this long ago I am hoping it is never too late.
My name is Anette Wachter, owner of Pet Elegance. The photo to the right is of KOZMO our top dog here at Pet Elegance. We have been in business now for just over 10 years. Owning my own business has been, shall we say, "interesting". Owning a business in the Pet Industry has been "wonderfully interesting". I am hoping to tell you my many adventures throughout the years and update you on events to come. Can you make money at this? Are there lessons to be learned from mistakes? YES and YES!
Like any business the basics are needed. A business plan and money. I had one of the 2. Business plan. Great, but hard to move on without capital. But plug away I did and somehow I made to 10 years!
It will be interesting to see where the next few months and years will take me. Our economy is going to be drained of a lot of money soon. Hopefully we can start filling it back up. I have taken great pride that we have always hired local manufacturers to make our product and bought all of our supplies from domestic suppliers. I feel it is so important. Yes, my business bottom line could be slimmer if I had our product made overseas. But there is more to business than that. It is important to give back to your community. My community happens to be the USA.
How I got started in this wacky wonderful business................check back soon!
