Hints n tips - finding that happy medium

[dirtsa2828]

Hello all!
I am looking for part time work to compliment starting up my own massage therapy business. (Either in the field of complenetary therapies or completely away from it) Does anyone have any tips about finding that happy medium between finding part time work which gives you a small guaranteed income, whilst also trying to build up a strong clientele!
Any hints, tips, web links, contacts would be great!

Muchos grazius!


Warmest wishes

Hi Nova,

I have been very lucky and been able to do just that!

I work on a self employed basis at a clinic, and I have been lucky enough to join the reception team there too! This means I work alternate saturday mornings on reception, and can be available to cover any shifts for the other receptionists as needed.

It gives me a chance to meet loads of potential clients, for them to put a face to a name, and for us all to be able to chat about Massage and how it may help them!! ( The clinic is primarily a Chiroprators) I also get a small guaranteed wage packet every month.

How about trying something similar - or something like Avon - anything to get to know different people and get a "foot inthe door" so to speak.

Good luck!

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your reply! Your set up sounds absolutely perfect - how convenient for you! Unfortunately neither of the clinics I practice from need any receptionists but it certainly is a perfect set up... I think I will need to re-think! Hmmm....
