FZWillyThePimp User ID: 66267903 United States 12/27/2014 11:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I opened a self-service dog grooming business in Santa Barbara, CA 17 years ago and it's still going strong. Totally 100% different from any other of it's kind and focused on making it easy to use and a pleasant unique design. I designed and built everything in the place myself. It doesn't look like a sissy dog grooming place with cartoon pictures of doggies on the walls. It has a "country store" design and more than a few have tried to open self service places in the area and failed. I'm opening another one on the northern coast, Arcata, and THIS one will be the ONLY ONE OF IT'S KIND IN THE WORLD! THIS one is going to be "Steampunk" themed. I love art and dogs. Before I opened my first location I was an art director in the movie biz in Hollywood for 14 years so I'm combining my two passions. I have clients in Santa Barbara who are very successful by opening a mini-blind business. And two awesomely beautiful women who drove Mercedes because they started a dog poop backyard clean-up business. I found my passions and turned them into making a living for me. It's a lot of work, but if we do what we're taught NOT to do in public school and believe in our own creativity we can do whatever we realistically wan with our lives. |
