I may choose to go back in time and write about Shiatsu Clinic, Thai Massage, Hot Stone Therapy and other fantastic classes and experiences I had while in school at OSM. However, right now I feel it's more important to focus on what I'm creating, not where I've been. So far this blog has helped me to move into a new space as I transition from massage student to LMT.
I'm waiting for the state of Oregon to send me a date to take the practical exam so I can become licensed. I've completed school, taken the written exam, been CPR certified, turned in the application, the last pieces are falling into place.
Things to do while waiting:
- marketing materials - business card, website, opening flier/announcement, constant contact e-mails?
- look for a place to work 1-2 days a week while I get my practice up and running - possibilities: acupuncturists, massage co-op, chiropractic clinic
- check and refill my supplies - oil, linen, blankets
- create filing system for client info and a way to keep track of income/expenses (Quicken?)
- give free practice massages :)
- study kinesiology and practice for the practical
Things to do once I'm licensed:
- E-mail everyone I know, include special offer and link to website.
- Register new business with the state.
- Create a separate bank account for business.
- Place my cards/fliers around town and give to businesses and people I know.
- Talk to random people and tell them they need a massage :-)
I'll keep adding to this. Let me know if you can think of something I haven't.
