Lots of Questions
I am getting a lot of questions from therapists just starting out and thought maybe a discussion group could serve as a reference point for them.
This time of transition is a delicate time. So many therapists lose confidence. Do not let this be you. This group is here to help you make it. You ARE one of us!
There is now an alliance forming for therapists and students at the Massage Therapy Alliance of America. Click on this link for details http://www.mtaamassage.org

"Your WHY Just Isn't Big Enough!"
Ok, I'm going to step on some toes with this article, yet it has to be mentioned. What you do with it, well...............that's up to you ;)
A quick preable to this article is in regards to a discussion I had with a friend of mine. He stopped by the house on his way to a couple of his clients. He'd mentioned that he had attended a confrence call with a couple other therapists in regards to marketing ones massage business by one of the local celebs in the massage marketing industry.
Great call he told me, and touched on a few of the highlights. One topic that was mentioned was ones "Why."
Why are you a massage therapist?
Why are you doing this or that?
Repeat, until comfortably numb ;)
First, let me state that yes, you need your "Why" firmly in place.
Second, I'll have to also state that this is a sore point with me, due to the fact that the mlm'ers and network marketing friends of mine use this "Why" line waaaaaaaaay to much. It's also interesting to me how this 'self-help motivational stuff' is now moving into the massage marketing business.
"Don't have enough clients??? Your WHY isn't big enough! You are not clear on your objectives? You haven't stated your Intent!" "You don't have any self confidence? You haven't defined your WHY!!!"
That's all fine and dandy....read this article to see the other side of this motivational technique.
Let's Discuss Your WHY!

Kris, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I lost an amazing family member a few years ago to brain cancer. I know how hard this is. He too was always healthy and full of life! It was one of the hardest things we've ever been through. My heart goes out to you. Prayers for comfort!

Thank you Kris....Your article was fantastic on how to build client relationships and how to keep them!
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I can't imagine how rough this must be for you to deal with this sudden news. I will definitely say some prayers and send healing thoughts to you and him and his family. He's going to need you now Kris, more than ever to stand by him and support him throughout his illness. I know it won't be easy but I pray that God will send you the strength you need.

First I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I, too had a friend that was the image of health. Never ate anything but organic, exercised daily and took supplements. Constantly watching everything. She died of heart cancer (very rare). Never would have thought that would happen to her. So, I feel for you and your friend.
I have worked with cancer and AIDS patient's. I will write something when I get back home. Flying tomorrow.
Tip for the server - not money . A note on the napkin " here's your tip , "attitude adjustment"
Prayers to you and your friend.
