Motivational Monthly Tip
Hello, it’s Eric Mitchell, cofounder of Help Your Practice, with this month’s motivational tip. This month, I want to talk about a word that many people associate with the upcoming holiday season: PRESENT.
However, I’m not talking about any great gifts you might receive from any of your loved ones. I’m talking about the decisions you make now to improve your massage business.
Many times, we get caught up in what happened to us in the past. We are always projecting about what will happen in the future.
We fail to realize that what we do right now determines our business future. Our PRESENT decisions mark our progress and determines what direction we are heading.
A business cannot thrive while lamenting about past mistakes or possible futures. You can spend hours or even days worrying about what went wrong. You can really stress yourself out thinking about every possible “what if” or “if only”.
Have you ever said any of these doubting comments?
“What if I had more clients?”
“What if I charged more for massage?”
“If only I had a busier appointment book…”
“If only my clients scheduled more often…”
Instead of thinking about “what if”, start thinking the things you can change. Focus all of your energies on how to make your business work better now — in the PRESENT.
Take control over your current situation and do what you know needs to done. Make your past become a learning experience and before you know it, your future success will arrive.
For the last year we have talked about many business practices that are determined by our PRESENT. Our goals should begin with the smallest forward steps that start with the here and now.
You will accomplish what you want in your future when you start with what you want in your PRESENT.
Remember, live for today for tomorrow is promised to no one!
Now take action and reach your goals!

Massage Marketing Monthly Tip
Since we are heading into the holiday season, I wanted to give something special to all of our subscribers. In the past couple years, I’ve written about Christmas holiday promotions so this time I wanted to offer a new topic for this month’s issue.
After brainstorming a bit, I decided to cover using testimonials to boost your marketing and advertising. Normally, I write every word of the Massage Marketing Monthly Tip from scratch.
But seeing that I’m typing this at 11 p.m. on November 30th, I wanted you to still get the November issue of “From The Massage Table” in the month of November.
So in the spirit of giving, here’s an excerpt from Help Your MASSAGE Practice on testimonials:
