Dr. Amy Kramer – She Saw a Great Opportunity After Her Own Dog Had Surgery and Beach Animal Rehabilitation Was Born (BARC)

| By Leave a Comment

According to pet care industry research in 2016, health care services for pets was nearly $16 billion dollars and growing.

After her dog had surgery, Dr. Amy Kramer, a physical therapist, saw that what she does with her patients every day would be a great rehab solution for her dog. The physical therapy worked and Amy couldn’t stop thinking about all the vets performing surgery across LA and how those dogs would need her physical therapy treatment. This lead Dr. Kramer to open the doors to Beach Animal Rehabilitation Center (BARC) which works to incorporate rehabilitation techniques so that pets can get well again.

On today’s show, we’ll talk about how Dr. Kramer got started in her now very successful business, her BEST tips for growth, how she deals with employees, her #1 productivity tip, what she thinks about the NBA finals, and more.

Sleep Your Way to The Top

Sleep Your Way to The TopThere’s one slight shift you can make in your daily habits that could reap BIG rewards. In fact, this habit has been linked to better decision-making, creativity, health and even weight-loss. Do you know what it is? Sleep.

Making a commitment (experts say seven to eight hours is preferable) to sleep can create a dramatic impact in every area of your life.

Mental performance is a top requirement for entrepreneurs!
