on Jul 3rd, 2008Your Massage Business Success in 2008
Success is different things for different people, but what I can assure you of is that success is about personal and spiritual fulfillment. This means that you can not experience success in one area that’s detrimental to another. For example if a Massage Therapist has great success in attracting a huge number of clients every year but pays their staff very little and works them into the ground then this person would not be successful.
Success is about fulfillment. True fulfillment spills over into other areas of your life as well. For example if this Therapist wanted to experience complete or true success he or she would look at the massage business as a whole and examine areas that need improving and alter the way the staff is working. This would then maintain a sense of harmony and peace throughout the clinic. This energy would then spill over into the hearts and minds of the staff and eventually the clients. This would in turn bring a deeper level of satisfaction for all those working and visiting the clinic.
Success is about really living your healthy potential. It’s about tapping in to a well of happiness inside you and creating a life accordingly. Life goes very quickly and once you are at the end of it, it would be good to look back and say “wow, I lived a full and wonderful life.” This doesn’t mean a life free of challenges, but it’s how you respond to those challenges that are where the fulfillment and growth comes from.
A definition of success could be something like;
A person conscientiously experiencing and creating truth and happiness in all areas of their life for themselves and for others.
This is just my definition; it doesn’t have to be yours. Let’s just work with it now.
There is a really easy way to think of success in all areas of your life as a gas tank with fuel in it. Is the gas tank full with motivation and happiness? Or is it running on empty? This exercise will give you a truthful perspective on your life.
You can also apply this to your massage business and where you want to go this year. Now is a perfect time to write down your goals and formulate where it is you want to be.
