If you've ever thought about not being yourself, please take this as a sign to just BE YOURSELF! In this episode of Bet On Yourself, Sis!, I chat with Pam Brown, owner of Down 4 Paws Dog Training, based in Norwood, MA. Pam is a certified dog trainer, animal communicator, and psychic medium, and today she talks all about how she owned and honed her gifts to become successful in her business.

Pam shares her unique approach to dog training, which focuses on understanding the dog's needs and emotions rather than traditional obedience training. She discusses her journey into dog training, the importance of lifestyle changes for pet owners, and how understanding a dog's lineage can impact their behavior. The conversation also touches on the challenges of entrepreneurship and the importance of seeking support and mentorship in building a business.

Pam and I also discuss the multifaceted nature of entrepreneurship, particularly for Black women. We explore the importance of mentorship, the reciprocal nature of energy in business, and the significance of authenticity. Pam shares valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, emphasizing the need for networking and community building. We also delve into mindset shifts necessary for success and address common mistakes in dog training, highlighting the importance of understanding dog behavior.
