Massage Therapy Business...

Massage Therapy Success .     How To Get More Clients And Keep Them Coming Back For The Life Time Of Your Massage Career...     Queensland, Australia       Dear Massage Therapist,   If  you want to get more clients in your massage business and keep them coming back, then what you are about to see and hear on this website will be some of the most helpful and important information you'll ever read.   Hi, my name is Amy Roberts, for 9 years I ran a thriving massage business with over 3000 clients. For the past few years I have been teaching internationally and locally with Massage Therapists like you how to rapidly grow their practice and deal head-on with the stuff they never teach you when you are getting your certificate or diploma to practice one of the most caring acts in the world-Massage Therapy.   Are you stressed out about not having enough clients to meet your bills at the end of the month? Just starting out and don't know where to get your first client? Or are you a professional therapist who is having issues with getting clients to come back, or, boosting client numbers to propel your massage business to the next level of success?   If this describes you and you are serious about getting more clients, permanently, and keeping them coming back then take the next 3 minutes to read this letter carefully. (I know it's long but Massage Therapy is one of the most rewarding professions in the world- I HATE seeing caring and superb therapists like you out of your practice by the "business" of Massage Therapy...there is another way.)   I remember the first time I thought about becoming a Massage Therapist. I felt a real passion for being able to make a real difference, to people's lives in a positive way - without drugs or medicine. They would actually feel better just with the touch of my hands.   I fell in love with Massage Therapy.   When I enrolled in college to do my first course in professional Massage, I was so excited! I was finally doing something with my life. I was a poor (really poor) student at school and fronting up to my first class was daunting - but I felt so alive.   I began to think of all the people I knew and how they would benefit from what I was about to learn. My heart was exploding with a desire to learn. When I completed my training I was so happy. I was sure I was going to be a success.   You know friend, I was just sure I would have an abundance of clients just clamouring to book in for their first appointment with me, telling me how good they felt and how I could make them feel better and how my massage treatments made a distinct, positive difference to their lives.   I could just see these people in my mind. I would be wanted, respected, appreciated and loved...   I knew absolutely nothing about 'massage as a business' and relied heavily on my college for information on how to run my own massage business (little did I know how dangerous this little bit of knowledge would be!).   I was sure my teachers at college would be there to help. Graduating made me feel so proud. It was the happiest day of my life. I felt so confident in myself. I had really done something that was going to help so many people.   After graduating I was on fire, I was so motivated. I spent ages looking for the exact perfect frame for my certificate and spent a good couple of weeks decorating and making my "clinic room" beautiful. I placed my certificate in numerous different spots where the maximum number of people would see it.   You know I did think "how will I get clients and where will they come from?" and I even asked around - no one really gave me a straight answer.   Did you find that little voice in your head wondering "How will I actually get clients?" "How long will does it take to get them?"   Did you find, like me, that no one would give you a straight answer or worse - you got told it would take you years and years to build up a successful practice?   I've got some good news.   Being told that a massage therapy practise takes "years and years" to build up is absolute rubbish. I know, because I proved that wrong.   Keep reading..   I was on a high from graduating so I just ploughed on, joining an association, got my insurance, and waited for clients to come. I spent a couple of weeks perfecting and working on my business card, letterhead and signs. Then I sat back and waited for the clients to pour in.   I waited and waited....   Over the next few months after graduating a handful of clients turned up, certainly not the rush of clients I imagined.   By this stage I thought "I should do some advertising." I did and it failed miserably. I felt like a rug had been pulled out from under my feet. My enthusiasm had turned into bitter disappointment. I was so frustrated! Under that frustration I felt so scared of failing. I
