Today's episode presses on that ever-present button of sales. For some of us that's a word as "bad" as any. For others, it's more of a mystery. Either way, we need sales to make sure our massage practices are thriving!
I interview Laura Allen, a massage therapist of 20 years (13 of those years as an owner of a successful wellness clinic) about what she thinks are the most important aspects of this whole "sales" issue in a massage business. You can find Laura at http://lauraallenmt.com/.

It's inevitable. We ALL have insecurities in running our businesses. And the faster we can see them and start to work with them when they arise, the better our practices will do.
In today's episode I break down two rough categories of insecurities, how they affect our massage business, and give you real-life HOW TO's to work with each kind.
As always, I'd love to hear what you think!

Do you find yourself handing out tons of business cards for your practice but not getting any new clients from it?
Today's episode comes out of a great question from a listener! All of our marketing materials can help us grow our massage practices - but only if we use them well.
In today's episode I start by making sure you understand your marketing overall. Then I go into lots of HOW TO with handing over your business card. That way you can make sure that when you give someone your card, you're making it a no-brainer for them to actually schedule an appointment.

One of the first things we work on in the OYP program is about the nitty gritty of starting a business. That can include registering your biz with your Secretary of State, arranging your bank accounts, and making sure your “back-end” stuff is in good order.
In this podcast I talk about my personal experience with these processes as I was starting my practice.
AND, of course figuring out how to pay for starting up my practice was a big deal for me and is for most massage therapists - especially the loan or debt aspect it.
While paying off a total of $67K in debt sucked, having my full massage practice made it possible. I do NOT recommend doing the credit card debt thing the way I did it (as I talk about in the video). However, debt usually plays a part in every business, massage practice or not, so it’s good to have an idea of how it can work for you rather than sink you.
