It’s a question we all ask our kids. I’m not sure why, but it’s just so darn exciting to hear what they’ll say. Maybe we’re hoping they’ll say Tiger Woods. Or Britney Spears. Then again, maybe not. Yikes. Read more
The Bottom Line is a series that was first introduced on the Shafer…Power! blog in April, 2012.

Welcome to Shafer…Power! In an effort to have some fun and learn more about entrepreneurism, the kids and I have launched a weekend dog walking service here in Jester called Weekend Warriors Dog Walking Service. We provide great service, competitive rates, ($3/15 minutes or $5/half hour) and plenty of love for your pet. Please email your inquiry to paul@shaferpower.com or call/text 512.689.1583. The service is for Jester only and all walks are overseen by an adult.

As with all AdVentures, the goal is to have some fun with the kids and learn more about entrepreneurism. Read more
