What Dog Daycare Owners Can Learn from a World-Class Copywriter, with Mike Samuels
Episode 430
Friday, 19 December, 2025
What actually separates businesses that blend in with the crowd… from the ones that stand out? Why do some owners seem to escape the race to the bottom on price, while others feel permanently squeezed? And what does behavioural psychology, copywriting, and niching properly have to do with running a predictable and more profitable dog daycare? In this episode, I share a special conversation recorded at the Elite UK Mastermind with Mike Samuels — one of the most renowned copywriters and behavioural psychology specialists in the world. While Mike doesn't work in pet care, the lessons he shares land squarely where dog daycare owners need them most: positioning, differentiation, pricing confidence, and future-proofing in a changing market. Mike breaks down why generalists always compete on price, why AI is forcing businesses to move beyond just "words on a page," and why the real value today lies in insight, strategy, and clarity. With Mike's help I then translate those ideas directly into the pet care world, showing how daycares that position themselves as trusted partners (not just service providers) escape comparison, retain better clients, and build stronger businesses. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Generalist Daycares Get Squeezed – And how clearer positioning instantly reduces price pressure. • What AI Is Really Changing – Why insight and experience matter more than ever in a crowded market. • The Power of Niching Properly – How being a "big fish in a small pond" applies directly to dog daycare. • Why Behaviour Beats Tactics – How understanding human decision-making improves sales, retention, and loyalty. • What Happens in the Room – Why masterminds and in-person events accelerate clarity and confidence far faster than online learning alone.
