Most groomers quit in month two.
You're ready to start and terrified of the leap, and the biggest risk isn't your grooming. It's that the start is slower than you expect, the money runs out, or you buy the wrong things first. Nobody hands you the timeline, the real budget, or the cushion that gets you through the quiet weeks.
Most new groomers quit in month two, not because they can't groom, but because the start is slow and the cash runs out. Maria nearly did, until she learned slow was the plan and had saved a cushion for it. (Illustrative example.)
