Ms. Holub took the bull by the horns and outlined everything a budding massage therapist might want to consider implementing into his or her practice or even one's own professional image. In her book, Ms. Holub shares valuable information gleamed from her own clients. I found that information invaluable and felt good that I was already doing much of what she suggests. She even made me reconsider some of my approaches with clients.
I found the information regarding how to break into hotel massage and private practice most insightful. I had already made the decision early on that I would not be interested in pursuing the hotel industry as I am a busy mother of three. However, if I was single and filled with energy I would have considered the hotel industry as a way to build up clientel. If you want information on how to navigate the hotel industry, Ms. Holub's information is valuable. As for private practice, I was already trying to figure out how to draw in more clients. A few of the ideas I had were validated in Ms. Holub's book. Better still, she gave sound advice on how to pursue new avenues for bringing in more clients. I am already successfully implementing some of her suggestions.
Bottom line regarding "The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a Massage Therapist" is that it is worth your time. I know I could have really benefited from the information in this book a year ago when I first started out. Now that I have been at if for awhile, it is good to know I am heading in the right direction and have discovered little ways I can tweak my practice into a very successful business.
Thank you, Ms. Holub for extending a hand in a solitary profession, helping us all succeed the best we can!I feel validated by Meagan! It's difficult to be different and I am in so many ways, one of which is intuitiveness. I felt as though a close friend was sitting next to me on my couch explaining how she made her massage business work by giving me the horrid details of what she had to dredge through to get there. It's as though she wanted me to succeed and not have to visit the dark places she has been, like she wanted me to learn from her experiences. Not many people are willing to share what they worked so hard to achieve.
I may not be able to use all the helpful suggestions that Meagan gives but you can bet she got me thinking outside the box. I have a new perspective of how others view me and my business now. She and I may live in quite different communities, however, several of her ideas are applicable anywhere.
With an open mind and fortitude we can all succeed in this business at whatever income level makes us comfortable. Meagan decided that six figures was comfortable for her and she went out and got it. Way to go Meagan! Thank you for your vulnerability, `friendship', and insight!A short, easy to read book packed with great advicebased on experience of what works and thinking outside the box. Other than a few grammatical errors and some topics that could have been expanded upon, it is well worth the time and money. I did think the book was quite pricey, but given the income possible if the advice is followed, it is reasonable.As a concerned father of a soon-to-be Massage Therapist, I bought a copy of this book for my daughter, as she recently graduated from Massage School and it has been a difficult time for her in the current economy. I found the first couple of pages interesting enough that I ended up reading the entire book, myself. As a result, I learned an incredible amount of information on how to support my daughter throughout her new profession. More importantly, my daughter LOVES the book too. She says it has reinstated the basics that her school taught her AND addressed a myriad of topics her school didn't cover that are important to her success and safety as a Massage Therapist.
In my opinion, the author, Meagan Holub, has succeeded in bringing to light the many uncomfortable situations that can arise in this profession, and how to stop them before they happen. Both my daughter and I felt like "The Magic Touch: How to Make $100,000 per year" was speaking directly to our fears and worries. After reading it, she feels confident that she can make a great living at this, and I feel much more confident that she has made the right decision for herself in choosing Massage as a career. I don't worry about her safety anymore and she's taking steps to bring in more money. There's a lot less worry in our household thanks to the message in this book.
All-in-all this book is a very honest, intelligent and (for lack of a better word) "cool" read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of being a Massage Therapist in the world today written by someone who has been on both sides of the coin.A friend suggested I read this book, which was surprising, since I am an entrepreneur in the music industry. But I am so glad she did! Meagan's advice and go-getter attitude not only inspired me, but gave helpful real life tips like which credit card processor to use and how to handle difficult customers. I truly believe that anyone who reads this book, especially massage therapists, will learn tools to improve their technique and bottom line. Also, it's a quick, fun read packed with excellent information!
