Burn out

Within the past week, the Iowa winter has officially gotten to me. I happen to believe I tolerate winter as well as anyone else in the Hawkeye State. February typically brings the promise of warmer days, melting snow, and glimpses of spring. With incessant snow showers in the forecast, not a day over thirty degrees, an eight foot drift in my backyard, and getting our vehicle pulled out of the snow twice in one night; winter has worn out its… Continue

"The diamond cannot be polished without friction, nor the man perfected without trials."

Good Morning - It is a glorious day here in Portland Oregon and I am sitting in bed completely enjoying the sun rising and the birds chirping. The weather here is incredible this week. Thursday my sister was down with her family and we spent the day with all the kids at the coast. Check out my facebook page for some beautiful shots of the kids playing on the beach! Jealous, yet? Welcome to mid-February in the gloomy, rainy northwest!…

The California Gold Rush (A Response)

I am grateful for and learning quite a bit from everyone's comments on this blog.

1. Low Cost - The annual cost of developing and maintaining a website can be as low as $250. Compare this to other forms of advertising such as running ads in phonebooks, local papers, and magazines. Print ads will often run over $100 a month.



2. Volume of People… Continue

7 Sure Fire Ways to Build a Massage Practice

7 Ways to Build a Massage Practice



1. Get Known by the Public. Reaching out with helping hands to the public is one sure fire way to build a massage practice. This can occur in a variety of ways such as attending health fairs, and giving massages at summer festivals and local health food stores. I have used all of these methods in the past, and it was common for me to get 3-5 new customers each time I did this.

Here we go again.

Yesterday I started a new job.

Four days ago I quit the old one.

You know that the old job, if you've read my first blog post, was turning into an unpleasant situation. It was a good thing I left given what the alternative would've been had I choked and stayed on.
