Episode 432: Inside a Real Consultation Day with Dom Hodgson: How One Day of Strategy Can Save Years of Wrong Decisions

What actually happens during a full, in-person pet business consultation day with Dom Hodgson?

How does Dom spot hidden opportunities, fix leaks, and uncover an entirely new growth path in a single day?

And how can one focused conversation save you years of trial, error, and frustration?

In this first episode of 2026, I give you rare, behind-the-scenes access to a real consultation day I did with Adam Delderfield (PBIC Marketer of the Year) and Stella Seminerio. Rather than theory or tidy case studies, you'll hear raw audio recorded at the end of an intensive strategy day — capturing exactly what clarity, relief, and momentum sound like when the fog finally lifts.

Adam and Stella walk through what the day actually involved: stepping back to define what they do and don't want, tightening systems that were already working well, uncovering easy leverage points, and identifying a bigger "business within the business" opportunity that could reshape their future. Dom explains why these breakthroughs don't come from doing more — they come from seeing the business differently.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• What a Consultation Day Really Looks Like – Hear from Adam and Stella as they digest their BIG takeaways from the consult day.

• Fix Before You Scale – Why optimising what you already have beats chasing the next bright shiny object (or idea!)

• Finding the Business Within the Business – What hidden assets do you have in your existing business that could become your biggest growth lever.

• The Power of Fresh Eyes – Why clarity often comes from someone seeing what you've normalised. This is Dom Hodgsons Superpower.

• Why Direction Matters More Than Speed – How knowing what you don't want accelerates everything else.

If you're tired of being busy, burned out, and underpaid… and you're ready to transform your daycare into a premium, experience-heavy, profit-driven powerhouse… then IMPACT 2026 is the event you've been waiting for.
