Financial planning can be a really tricky topic for anyone who is self-employed, including massage therapists.

We want to have a good life, both now and in the future, but there are so many things to consider. There is a business to build, clients to see, and of course, a personal life to live! No one wants to be working all the time, even if there are times we need to.

But just like we plan for things like graduation or a milestone birthday, we also need to plan for other big life changes like buying a house and retirement.

So for this episode, I am sharing my perspective as a fellow business owner and former massage therapist. I know how tricky it can be when you’re a solo business owner!

This is the fourth and final episode in my short series on How to Stay a Massage Therapist for the Long Haul. Show notes are now available for all episodes at happylittlebiz.com/show-notes/

Financial Planning for Massage Therapists

Our world is a reflection of the choices we’ve made.
So instead of complaining about how shitty it is or retweeting some hashtag on social media, there are two simple(ish) fixes: taking action and voting with our dollars (be it Canadian or otherwise!).
We need more light in the world when things suck, not more darkness. So if you’re feeling alone or pissed off or without hope, find an artist/creative who’s doing good work, reach out and thank them for their contributions to the world. I guarantee you’ll both feel better for it.
Positive action is a good remedy for despair.

Art is a powerful tool for change

I want to talk to you about what marketing is, because a lot of folks wrongly assume they understand it (and then dismiss it because they think it isn’t important or isn’t for them).

So long, farewell.

A chat about the realities of running a Massage Therapy practice - or any health, wellness or fitness business, really! Currently in mini-series format, where we do 3-5 episodes that deep dive into a topic. 

You’ve probably got great hands-on skills and work well with your clients one-on-one. Most of you have that stuff down. But it’s the stuff "beyond the massage table", beyond the treatment room, office or studio, that you might need advice on. How do you run your business and make it a success while still having time for the rest of your life? What’s marketing all about? Should you be using social media? How do you save money for vacations, tax time, and the rest of your life when your income is unpredictable? What do you do when a client is unhappy with your treatment? 

That's just some of the topics we discuss! So grab a cup of your favourite beverage and let's dive right in.
