The hardest part of starting a business is trying to figure out how to keep your pet alpaca from destroying the reception area. After all, you can’t very well show a potential client into a room strewn with straw and hay, even if they do appreciate the kitschy decor. For the first few months, you have to be exceptionally vigilant, monitoring the alpaca’s every move, ready to pounce with a broom and dustpan at any sign of imminent alpaca havoc. And if that wasn’t hard enough, you also have to make sure you don’t cross the line into alpaca neglect by providing enough hay, a comfortable bed, and plenty of snuggles every day. It’s a tough balance to maintain, but it’s essential for a successful business.
