It was of course quite a year!
This website has been up since 1999 making it the oldest blog about massage I would guess.
Last year I wasn’t able to write about the new year and such with the many storms we had keeping me offline. The summer was beautiful here and I had plenty of posts to make up for my lost time.
My Yahoo Group Massage Practice Builder will be 10 years old this year. I used it at first to send out my newsletter and found my first newsletter which was sent out through my Yahoo! Group discussion group (which used to be egroups many years ago.) With over 2000 members we discuss just about anything and everything on the topic of massage business and careers.
In Feb 2009, I was writing about whether or not to start a massage business in ‘this’ economy. The question seems to be the same for many still. Fear is such an interesting thing. If people wait until a better economy it won’t make much of a difference on how successful they will be. If you are letting the economy put you in the ‘victim’ mode, then maybe a career in massage isn’t for you. I am not saying it won’t be difficult. Many massage therapists end up going out of business even in a good economy.
Megan Holub’s – Magic Touch : How to make $100,000 a year as a massage therapist caused quite a stir online and off.
The indeed.com forums brought out the worst of the massage profession.
The Federation of Massage State Boards keeps growing and expanding the list of states accepting the exam as licensing forcing the NCBTMB to rethink its role and offer discounts for pizza.
The Conspiracy of the Rich brought some new ways of thinking. Creating residual income in any economy can help you to lessen the effects of any economy changes and keep your economy separate from the nations economy. Robert Kiyosaki thinks the economy is going to get worse. If it is true we are in for quite a ride!
The Massage Body of Knowledge Group was formed to start helping in defining the massage profession.
Sometime in the summer I released my first edition of my Ebook ‘The Massage Job Guide: How to create or find your ideal massage job” (or I should have called it how to find higher paying jobs)
More people are finally getting what Site Build it! is about and how to use a website to effectively market your massage business AND create residual income from your website.
What will next year bring???
