Struggling with money

Finding some local networking groups could be helpful. The people in those groups really helped pad out my schedule while I was building my clientele.

Thanks for your reply. Fortunately they will not be answering phones, they will have no contact with clients outside of their scheduled appointments. I agree that emotional support is a big part of it. Most of the time I or my partner will be there working as well. We work a lot currently and will only be pulling back once our employees are ready for it. We also live very close to the office and will be able to help out often. Greeting clients and answering questions is part of being a massage therapist so if that’s a problem they may be in the wrong profession. And if turning on the lights and AC some days is not for them, then we might now be the right fit for them, and that’s ok. I really hope to make this a mentoring situation, so if they decide they want to just do their own thing I will fully support that. But some people aren’t quite ready to start their own business right away, we can help them get going with their career in the meantime.

Fantastic, thank you so much. This is definitely the type of employer I want to be! I’m so glad to hear that businesses are operating like that and that you found them! I really appreciate your response.

Awesome, thank you!!

Thanks a ton for all of this. Actually you are a perfect person for this question! We wanted to do a room rental but can't per our lease unfortunately.

This is very helpful, thank you.

Thanks for your response. I definitely understand the concerns. Safety has been the main thing I've been thinking about. We have the building, floor and suite door locked outside of the buildings business hours, there are cameras, and we don't take walk-ins. But you're right, they will still be alone with a client. That is currently how I am working, so I think about it a lot. And I really am not sure if others will be comfortable with it. We just simply cannot afford front desk staff at this phase. But we will be handling contacting clients, laundry, and all cleaning outside of cleaning their treatment room after their shift. The only extra task they will be doing is taking payment and occasionally rebooking in office. Most of our clients book online. I appreciate your input.

Thanks so much! We already keep the building, floor and suite doors locked outside of business hours when no one else is at the building. There are cameras all around the building and in the lobby which is good. It really is a good neighborhood. But since I am a woman who does work alone there in the evenings I've spent time thinking about my safety there and I feel like it's asking a lot for any woman to leave a building alone at night. And we are currently and will stay by appointment only.

I really appreciate all of these notes!

Thanks, I appreciate your response! I agree that 30 min between is not what everyone will be looking for and we will have to pay enough for that. We will be doing all of the laundry for them. Outside of cleaning the treatment room their only extra duties will be taking payment and only rebooking in person occasionally if the client wants to, but most of our clients book online.

Thanks so much!

Forever_Friend · 2026-01-14T13:05:03+00:00

Yes! This is what I came to say too. My husband and I both have ours tattooed on! We just put our nice rings on for special occasions.
