Are you considering purchasing an insurance agency or book of business? Congratulations on taking this exciting step in your entrepreneurial journey! However, before you dive into the process, it's crucial to be aware of the potential pitfalls that can turn your dreams into a nightmare. In this eye-opening video, we'll walk you through the critical "What Not To Do" aspects when buying an insurance agency.

You walk into an environment and you're suddenly hit with an onslaught of information. Your eyes, ears, and nose are consuming information, but your brain isn't able to filter anything out. It's not able to discern what is critical in this situation to pay attention to and what is not, and you don't understand what is happening to you. That is how your dog feels when he is triggered. And in this episode of the Dog Liaison Podcast, I dig deeper into treating your dog's anxiety. I break down desensitization and counter-conditioning, and I talk about the difference between fear as an emotion and fear as a visceral response. Episode references: Youtube video - Dealing w/ Dog Anxiety: What it Looks Like & What to Do  Check out my website https://www.getacalmdog.com/ to learn moreSubscribe to my Dog Liaison Channel on Youtube And follow me on Instagram @dog_liaison

We are back to bring you a dark romance recommendation that we both LOVE and enjoy, even when it gave us TONS of anxiety. Lol Monica James is a ONE-CLICK author for the both of us. We HIGHLY recommend her books, but because they are dark, DO CHECK the trigger warnings before picking any of them up. She recently released IN LOVE AND WAR Duet, and it was something new for the both us. It's a Viking romance, historical, love triangle, age gap. It's filled with twists and turns that will have you at the edge of your seat. If you love a STRONG heroine and a hero who would do anything for her, PICK UP THIS DUET!!!
