Business Plan
I would love to expand by selling products for pain relieve for clients so they can manage their pain in between sessions, or when I’m unable to perform massage. I have used collaborative effort to try and keep clientele and find more ways of expanding my income streams. I’ve got a lot of traffic coming to my website, so I am looking to expand the business online and provide an ethics course for massage therapists to hold themselves professionally as massage therapists. I also want to provide more jobs to other newly graduated and re-starting massage therapists. I wish I had known and had a mentor to show me how to save my hands, and see where massage therapy is run up close.
