How do you communicate with people as you go on with your daily life?
Marketing is something veterinarians find hard to get their head around. We used to be all about medicine, but marketing has already become a necessity in any practice there is in life.
It isn’t what we’re good at, but at some point, we’re also aware that we need it to move forward. So with the digital market continuously growing in today’s time, how do you find a marketing company that speaks the language of your...

Do you feel the continuously growing population of free resources everywhere, thus resulting in confusion about what’s of help and what isn’t?

Euthanasia could be the most common procedure people from the veterinary practice do. Almost every day, there’s one pet going through euthanasia after another.
However, talking about it has always been taboo, thus leading to the lack of education vet med people have with regards to the positive way of euthanizing animals that need to undergo the procedure.
With euthanasia being a time of high emotions and vulnerability, it is with no doubt that we, as professionals, need to be able to...

What is it that you want your practice to look like? What is it that you are trying to achieve?
There are veterinarians out there who are stuck in leadership concepts designed way old for today’s generation. Although they are smart and are fully knowledgeable about Vet Med, they lack training on how to lead a business in this modern world, hence the disappointments that come right after.

As people in Vet Med, we tend to be perfectionist people, trying to chase our goals the way we believe is effective.
However, whether we admit it or not, at some point, we’ll all reach that immense feeling of exhaustion that sometimes makes us think, ‘What am I doing? Would I ever get back to my passionate self?’
We dream so much of success that we end up miserably fearing failure in return.
Join us as we talk with Melissa about the benefits of having someone who has expertise in...

The United States is facing a lot of different crises nowadays, but only if we look closely, we’ll notice that Vet Med’s situation is far worse than everything else.
Employers spend thousands only to receive no application; job seekers have a poor experience and eventually fail to land the job they deserve.
Statistics say that by 2030, 75 million pets won’t have access to pet care, but as much as we want to counter that, we can’t, because our resources aren’t that efficient.
Right now,...

Have you noticed that whenever our loved ones get sick, we always tend to put more focus on the disease itself instead of understanding the underlying problem that’s present in that case?
That also happens in the world of vet med!
Sometimes, veterinarians pay more attention to solving the bigger problem, when in reality, it’s the small symptoms beneath the patient’s serious case that needs to receive care.

As sad as it is, most people aren’t actually aware that there are countless individuals who can help them solve a problem they’ve been having a hard time dealing with.
Did you know that that is actually because you’re trying not to ask for help?
Having a professional by your side as you commit to the things that you really want can completely turn your tables around, both as an individual and as a person in the veterinary med!
The things that hurt you are the things that you do not know...

How is your relationship with the animals you have in life?
Relationships are built on trust and clarity of communication, but so many people do not understand the animals they live with.
Do you want to be able to successfully change your pets’ behavior and finally manage it well so that it won’t happen again some time in the future?
