Well now you've got to share what mattress wins this category.

I am so late to the party. Hopefully not too late!

Do you have any tips on storytelling? For my situation (dog trainer) the actual tasks will be easy since they'll all have to do with my students practicing known exercises with their dogs in clever ways.

I think I'm going to be planning a winter retreat at a lodge, if I do an adventure thingy it will likely be in one location, and as I mentioned, require the students to do known things.

I want to provide them with a great story, or a mystery to solve or something like that. Not really puzzle oriented, more like they would come across items while doing tasks, like a clue hidden slightly under equipment, or in treat pouches, etc.

So back to my question, what can you tell me about your story telling process? If it's a mystery would it be as simple as just changing characters and details to fit the narrative or theme you've got in mind?

Much thanks for what you do!

How do you know when you've "made it"?

I feel like even when I have literal proof that I'm doing a good job, even when I KNOW my services and skills are changing lives, even when there is money in the bank, I still don't feel good enough at times or that I've "made it". There seems to be something missing and idk what it is or where to find it. While I don't have a debilitating worry about it, I do think about this often enough that it is somewhat of a nuisance and it is like a cloud I'm having to brush away. Help.

So many dog trainers need someone like you! We are very often perfectionists and then burn the fuck out. It's causing pretty massive issues in the industry as a whole.

My question is, how can we find professionals who specialize in our brand of struggle such as yourself? Is there a specific term for for those who specialize in perfectionists?
