AND, I have a sympathetic heart… but, even when I am understanding of another person’s plight, in the end, I still run a business. And you do too!

One of the classes I taught at both meetings was “Using Research to Market Your Massage Therapy Practice.” I’ve been on my research soapbox for a while now. The big question is, “Who gives... Bridging the Gap; Referring Other CAM Disciplines
If you know of something that may help a client, are you inclined to share that information? (I HOPE the answer to this question was YES.) Because the truth is, as a healthcare professional, your client looks to you for advice and direction to not only alleviate symptoms but to provide long term solutions... Are You Attractive? Which do you think is better to ask yourself: #1- “How can I get new clients?” or #2- “How can I help more people with my service?” When you are NOT thinking only of yourself, but instead thinking more globally people are attracted to you and will be drawn to you.
