Celebrating 1 Year in Business!
543 hours of massage & bodywork performed,
388 therapeutic services provided (over half are 90-min sessions),
456 followers,
117 signups,
77 clients,
37 monthly subscribers,
and 37 continuing education hours,
Plus...
100s of hours developing a business plan, setting up software systems, building and maintaining a website, marketing the work I'm passionate about, managing payment processing, scheduling appointments, learning and implementing all of these entrepreneurial and business management skills...
Plus all the time and energy it takes in the background to even create and grow a business at all. Daydreaming, planning, creatively thinking, finding new ways to improve...
Phew! Yeah, it's a lot. ๐
Exhausting and challenging, yet infinitely and immensely rewarding and fulfilling.
And to top it all off, I'm in a yoga teacher training program, too! (Stay tuned for some exciting offerings in the New Year! ๐)
As it turns out, being an entrepreneur is never ending. There's not really a "clocking out" anymore, not in the traditional sense. It's different now. This has become a significant and constant part of my life. In fact, I sometimes find it challenging to not think about or do work during my time off.
I've already been a licensed massage therapist for 10 whole years now, and it's always been more than just a job for me.
It's been my profession, my passion, and my vocation for a decade. I'm always striving to learn more, grow my skillsets, and become more competent and intentional in my craft.
Everything is so intertwined that "work" is something I am finding difficult to define now that I am fully immersed in my Life's Work. ๐
I just want to help people feel better. This is who I am, this is what I do.
As I celebrate this first year, please know I am infinitely grateful for your support, whatever that looks like.
