Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.

The question in this episode is: What might I put in place to allow me to go off the grid for 4 to 8 weeks, with no phone or email?

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

We can all benefit from exploring this question even if you never plan to go off the grid for any amount of time.
Systems are sexy and if you don't have them you will quickly find out where there are bottlenecks in your practice, how much you micromange , and how quickly things can fall apart if you aren't around. That's not what we want. 
One goal of starting business (including a massage practice) is to enjoy time freedom away from it! So why make things difficult on yourself by gatekeeping?
In this episode I share my top tips for creating systems in my practice, how I build trust with my colleagues, and ways I am still improving. 
I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.

The question in this episode is: Do I Have To Make It Back The Way I Lost It?

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

Do you know anyone who quit massage school near the end?

Do you know anyone who failed the boards and decided to not try again?

Do you know anyone who passed the boards and decided to not even begin a career in massage therapy?

Are you a "finisher" and do you feel that once you start something, you have to complete it? Even if you're not into it anymore?

Check out this episode for permission on how you can let go of finishing just because you started and understand that as massage therapists we don't have to make our money back the way that we "lost it" in the first place!

I hope you enjoy!

Jumping right into today’s episode we are discussing cycle syncing and how we can work with our bodies instead of against them. If you are a person who menstruates or you know someone who does, you will recognize that not everyday is amazing and in fact some days feel absolutely terrible. Over the course of a month you can feel different physically, mentally, and emotionally every single day. My guest Samantha Storozuk has a fascination with this topic and I am super excited to speak with her on how we can “flip the script.” Instead of powering through the month accepting it is what it is- we can take power to understand our cycle and schedule our month to optimize the highs and choose rest on the lows. The benefits of this career is that we have independence and we are in charge of our own bodies, and our own schedules. I hope you enjoy this episode with Samantha!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.

The question in this episode is: What If I Couldn't Pitch My Product Directly? 

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

Did I lose you with the word product? Stick around because I have some ideas as it relates to our service based business! 

The thing is- we worked really hard to become massage therapists and earn a professional title but, your title doesn’t help explain what the benefits are of what it means to be a massage therapist.

We often list the certifications of our job title, the skills, and techniques we have but, what people actually want to know about are the success stories as a result of those skills! They want to know about the results. 

We forget that it’s the unique person behind the title that helps us stand out from the other massage therapists. 

How can we educate about massage therapy without it becoming a lecture?

Check out this episode for ideas on how you can pitch yourself as a massage therapist without actually talking about massage therapy.  

I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.

The question in this episode is: What's the least crowded channel?

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

What the heck does this question mean anyway?

Well, here's how I applied it to this exercise...

Since massage therapy is so wonderful- we try to share massage therapy with everyone!

We can treat it all so why not list everything we do and every modality?

Our practice is located in a city with a large population - why shouldn't I advertise everywhere?

Well, when you consider these areas may be very crowded with other massage therapists doing the same thing- you may not stand out.

Check out this episode for ideas on how you can access the least crowded channel and find the right clients for you and the right massage therapists to work with!

I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.

The question in this episode is: What If I Let Them Make Decisions Up To $100? $500? $1,000?

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

If you are a clinic owner and you feel like all the decisions come down on you and you would like to give some responsibility back to your team then this episode is worth a listen!

How would it feel if you told your team "I Trust You." ?

As a clinic owner I share how I have implemented the $100 or less rule to give my colleagues the power to make decisions on behalf of the clinic. It helps to give me the freedom I am seeking as a business owner too. Because the last thing you want when you're on holiday is a text message that says "we're out of toilet paper."

I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

The question in this episode is: If I Could Only Work 2 Hours Per Week On My Business, What Would I Do?

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

I know what you're thinking! Yeah right! How could I live on only 2 hours of massage per week?

Well, this is where the magic comes in about really taking time to think about where you are using your energy and is it in the most effective way? Are you getting the desired results?

As a clinic owner, I share how I would turn my attention to my team if I could only work 2 hours a week.

I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.

The question in this episode is: What's The Worst That Could Happen? Could I Get Back Here?

How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?

We all know what Goal Setting is and how to map out a plan to achieve the goal but rarely do we consider breaking down our fears surrounding the goal and often the fear paralyzes us into not taking action and it also gives us some pretty good excuses to keep us safe from taking risks.

Enter Fear Setting.

Tim has a simple pen to paper method for mapping out your fears surrounding a particular goal that helps you to see your fears not as mountains but as mole hills. I lay it out in this episode and share some of my own examples.

I love this exercise and I have used it a few times in my career and personal life which has given me the confidence to take risks and move abroad and also open my own massage practice.

I hope you enjoy!
