Want to Run a Massage Business From Your Home

I received my license and certification as soon as I finished school for massage therapy. I knew right away that I was going to start building my own practice in my house as soon as school was over (so a prerequisite of the house I was buying was to have additional space for my commercial space). I created my clientele and was quickly recognized as one of the most important 1인샵 massage companies in the area. This is how I did it ...

Next, write a business plan. Even if you are not planning to apply for business funds, it is crucial to put your goals and ideas in a written format, using as much detail as you can. When you put things in writing, the law of attraction will be put into practice to make sure your intentions come true. Believe it or not, there is something almost magical about it. And if you have no idea where to start writing your business plan, don't worry. Samples, examples, diagrams, and tutorials are available on the Internet at no cost to you.

Next, create a name for your company. This can be a bit tricky, as there are thousands of massage trade names already in use. Do your research to make sure you are not using the same or similar name as another business close to yours. Also, I recommend not using your personal name. Keep in mind that while "Massage By Jody" can increase personal appeal, it hinders business professionalism.

There isn't much worse when getting a massage than an annoying noise. Turn off the ringer on your phone and unplug the doorbell while you work. If you have children (especially young ones) it is better not to be working when they are at home. My children have grown up with me working at our home, so they know to be quiet and considerate when clients are done. But I usually work with them so that their lives are not always harmed by my career and business. The same goes for pets in the house. Keep them separate from your business area and teach them to be respectful when visitors arrive (I have two large dogs in the house and most of my clients don't notice). Barking dogs, crying cats, and noisy birds don't set the tone for relaxation. If you don't have control over the volume of your pet (or child), you may end up having to decide how important (or not) your home massage business is to you.

Appearance isn't everything, but it definitely is something. Practice good hygiene and grooming. Keep your hair well-groomed (including facial hair for male therapists) and brush your teeth. Shower regularly and keep your nails trimmed and clean. If you work barefoot to ground power, keep your feet clean and toenails trimmed and tidy as well. If the underarm odor is a problem, use deodorant daily. Don't get soaked in cologne, perfume, or body spray. These fragrances can annoy your clients or cause allergic reactions that interrupt their massage. If you need a more pleasant scent, a touch or two of essential oils can be mutually beneficial for both you and your clients. Dress appropriately too. We can be flexible here, but do yourself and your clients a favor and save ripped, stained, and/or perforated clothing for other occasions.
