    I'm surprised that it's not mentionned that therapists at Marriott, Hilton and the Four Seasons make from 100k to 150k annually.

      @@Heckdoor Because essentially, a kinesiology major would be useless(I would just get a PTA Degree), especially if your looking for a job right after. I would just go to massage school, if my mom didn’t force me to get some type of degree.

    Yes would love to hear about how you paid yourself and also how you went about finding contractors. I have noticed in this industry that most massage therapists are either already working with someone or already having plans on going solo. which I would imagine makes things a little more challenging with trying to convince contractors to come and work with a new practice.

    I started at 40% split plus tips and ended at 60% plus tips after 11 years at the same place working 15 days a month 4-5 hr shifts! Now pp, I'm working everyday of the week at two different places at 50% plus tips much less clients combined compared to my first workplace. I'm/was an IC at all.
    I started my own practice a year ago and am me working on day a week for myself. I would love tips for generating and retaining clients.
    I'm inspired and encouraged the far! Thank U!

    In 2011 I was paid $7 hourly at a spa then I was paid $30 commission at a chiropractors office. /a Physical Therapy center paid me $40 comission and insurance, I was dumb to quit. At another spa I made $23 commission. Working for myself I make $$$ instead of only $$.

      @@streetbs3586 Working for myself I make whatever I want. Right now I charge $108 for massages and pay myself $90 from that and the rest goes towards the business fees. I actually should be charging more due to the prices of everything are rising but I'm comfortable for now. My clientele daily varies. I work for myself part-time until I have steady clients. And I work for someone else's spa part-time.

      @streetbs3586 I charge $108 from my clients, pay myself $90 and the rest goes into my bank business account for business expenses. I probably should charge more with the way things are going up in expenses but haven't yet. I'm comfortable. I also only work part-time for myself and part-time for someone else's spa. My personal clientele varies. Some weeks I may have 5 clients a week and an additional spa party of maybe 9 clients other weeks I have none. (That's why I keep my day job, though it can be super slow there too).

    Where did you learn how to do all the business finance side of things? I need resources for sure, so I'm going to check out the video you suggested. I want to start up a wellness center, but am only a massage therapist. I'm a smart woman and love studying, I just don't know where to look for "wellness center" startup specific information. What if I want to hire some people? What if I can't hire them at first? What if I want to offer benefits? All of this is enough to freeze me up

    • @BellezzaBellyDance
      @BellezzaBellyDance 6 месяцев назад

      If your state requires licensure, it is a crime to work without a license. If your state offers a temporary license for recent graduates awaiting their examination for licensure, that would be the only exception. Each state has its own rules/requirements for massage therapy education and licensure.
