When most of us think about leadership, we tend to think of what it means to bring others together and work toward a common goal. However, leadership actually starts with leading ourselves. Self leadership is based on habit formation, discipline, and follow through. When we are self-aware enough to ask, ‘Who am I right now and who do I need to become?', we start the process of growing and expanding ourselves. Gila Kurtz, dog trainer and owner of Dog Is Good, shares why self leadership is so important in pet care and what it means to overcome the limiting beliefs that hold us back. Gila shares why setting goals for ourselves can be so hard and recognize the need for growth. We also discuss how being better at self leadership makes us better at leading others. Topics on this episode: * Defining your role as a pet professional * Limiting beliefs * Role of language * Self leadership * Leading with your ‘why' Main takeaway: Our limiting beliefs are built on our past experiences and become our operating system. Breaking free starts with being self aware and asking ourselves ‘who do I need to become'? Full show notes and transcript (https://www.petsitterconfessional.com/episodes/197)

“The way a dog shows up in the world is something to honor, pay attention to, and model.” Diane Forster (2:30-2:38) I HAVE TODAY to learn life lessons from my pet. There is no better person to model this intention than Gila Kurtz, a serial entrepreneur who has found her deepest passion in working with dogs and their people. Gila is co-founder and co-owner of Dog is Good, a lifestyle brand for dog lovers, and author of Fur Covered Wisdom: A Dog Can Change the Way You See the World. Gila is also the creator of a transformational program which takes dog owners on a journey of self-discovery through the eyes of their dogs. But Gila didn’t just wake up one day with the passion to do this kind of work. Soon after she and her husband Jon started Dog is Good, the business took off much faster than they expected. Gila found herself scrambling to keep up with its rapid growth. In the midst of this, she also took on the task of training a puppy for Leader Dogs for the Blind to raise awareness and funds for the organization. She struggled to juggle everything and to show up perfectly for it all. While outwardly everything looked good, inwardly she was spiraling downward and fell into a deep depression. One morning she watched her puppy wake up and excitedly grab her toy, tail wagging, and look expectantly at Gila. At that moment, Gila decided that if she could wake up like her puppy for just one day, she would do everything she could to wake up with that kind of expectancy and excitement to start a new day. She surrendered herself to seeking out more life lessons from her puppy. Over the course of a year, Gila notated these life lessons and the actions to take from them and began to see shifts and changes in her life. Ultimately, those lessons from her puppy saved her life and the notes turned into her book and other work she is now passionate about. “Every moment that you are centered, you feel it. It’s a different way of being and there’s an amazing element of peace that occurs.” -Gila Kurtz (20:20-20:35) Gila’s personal course of action to get back to centerline when she becomes aware she is moving away is to center it with her canines. She lives the “I HAVE TODAY way” by being self-aware and having pre-identified strategies to pull her back to where she chooses to be versus allowing the world to affect how she feels and how she will be. She also has a non-negotiable morning routine which includes writing in her journal, doing visualization exercises, meditating, reading, and working out. In this period in humanity when we are more disconnected from each other than we have ever been, Gila has a theory that this deep connection we have with our pets is the result. We seek connection, love, and a sense of peace and well-being, and our pets bring that to us every time we’re with them. “Dogs have gone from the backyard into the bedroom and out everywhere we go.”  -Gila Kurtz (24:25-24:29) Gila invites you to become a part of the Fur Covered Wisdom Community and to check everything out on the Dog is Good website.

On this episode of the Support is Sexy podcast, in addition to how to build your own winning pack, Gila Kurtz, co-founder and president of Dog is Good, shares with us why discipline is a key to success, the importance of routine and making it non-negotiable, licensing — and how that works in your business and the greatest lesson she learned from her dog (and what I learned from mine!).

On this week’s show, we welcome Gila Kurtz for National Walk Your Dog Week. Gila joins Amy and Dr. B. to talk about her website, Dog is Good, and her book, Fur Covered Wisdom: A Dog Can Change the Way You See the World. Gila discusses her background as a professional dog trainer and what inspired her to create Dog is Good. They talk about why Dog is Good is more focused on the messages than the products themselves, and Gila shares some of her favorite messages that customers have latched onto. She also explains how she is able to incorporate fitness into her pet’s life as well as her own and why it is NOT selfish to prioritize your own health so highly. Gila wraps up by talking about one of the most important lessons her dog has taught her. Gila’s book can be purchased at dogisgood.com and wherever books are sold. You can find more about Gila at dogisgood.com.

Gila is a successful serial entrepreneur who found her deepest passion in working with dogs and their people. She co-founded and co-owns Dog is Good, an award-winning lifestyle brand for dog lovers. Gila has turned her love for dogs into a 7 figure a year business by growing revenues through wholesale to retailers, online e-commerce, and licensing to other manufacturers. She is the author of Fur Covered Wisdom...A Dog Can Change the Way You See the World. Show  Notes: To break the ice, I asked Gila “If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?” Her response, “That's a great question. I'm going to have to say Action Film because I'm always on the go and am an active person”. Sounds a bit like me, I must say. We went on to talking about the Dog business, ‘Life Is Good' and the inspiration behind it. Some questions I asked Gila throughout the interview are: What is ‘Dog is Good'? When did the business begin? What inspired you to start your dog business? What has the journey been like since you started? What are some of the questions that must be answered when you are thinking of collaborating with another entrepreneur? What are some of the lessons that a dog can actually teach us? How did you accomplish being in the top 25 women in the pet industry? What advice can you give to those wanting to become entrepreneurs? Main Take-Aways: When you are chasing a dream, a vision, you go at it with a level of energy that drive yourself every day, because you expect to get there. When a student is ready to learn, the teacher will appear. They are so many lessons dogs provide us on a regular basis. It is important to be able to compartmentalize your life to make the right decisions as it relates to business, personal and other areas of your life.
