a relating to managing one's own business. while back, i read an article A lot of the points were simply standard marketing content that i received back in my massage business classes. they were nowhere near the marketing techniques i currently use in my private practice, nor did they follow a philosophy that would lead to a successful practice. it was a collection of old, handme-down thoughts that had no basis in real-world applications. these ideas were not "alive." I asked myself, "If I could give aspiring bodyworkers some real-world knowledge, what would I want them to know?" I began searching my mental database for things I believed when I fi rst started, as well as common issues that massage therapists come to me for guidance on.

Mentors and massage therapists more experienced than I taught me it was very important to change my perspective and start thinking differently. Rejecting the following five common myths and embracing what I learned helped me succeed. www.abmp.com. See what benefits await you. 101
