As perpetual learners, Beca and Ali are more often than not challenging themselves to read a good amount of personal and business development books. In this episode, we wanted to share our favorite book recommendations for massage entrepreneurs.

Some of these books are finance-related, some business, and some personal. And they all pack some punch! And just to be forewarned there are a few children’s books thrown in the mix too.

Maybe like Beca, you enjoy listening to your books. If so, perhaps you should check out Audible. This way, you can enjoy “reading” on the go!

What books are you currently loving? We would love some good recommendations!!! We would also LOVE to hear if any of our recommendations helped improve your life or any key takeaways you experienced!!!

Louie’s Saxophone

“Louie’s Saxophone” is a tale written and illustrated by Ali’s dearly departed brother Trevor J. Boehm. It shares a message of hope and inspiration for those both young and old.

In it, we meet a canary in a quandary. He is a bird who loves music but cannot sing. With encouragement from a friend, Louie learns to use the gifts he does have to make music in a different way. Our author, Trevor, was notorious for thinking outside the box and using things in different and unexpected ways.

As Trevor suffered from bipolar, Ali’s family has chosen to donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this book to various mental health organizations. With a suggested donation of $16.95 + shipping and handling. If you are interested in purchasing the book, please send an email to: ali@themassagebusinessmama.com, with the subject line Louie’s Saxophone.

Let me be crystal clear: I don't believe that disc Let me be crystal clear: I don't believe that discounting is always the answer or the sole path to growing a successful massage business. 🚫

However, that doesn't mean there aren't times when strategic discounting can be a smart move! 🤝

#massagediscounting #massagestudent #themassagebusinessmama #massageprofessional #bodyworker #massagepreneur #massagebusiness #massagetherapist
I’m seeing something concerning and, dare I say, I’m seeing something concerning and, dare I say, toxic in the massage coaching world right now. The idea that discounting your massage service devalues you and the work you do and should be avoided at all costs. 

Now, do I think discounting is always appropriate or the only way to grow a massage business? NO!!! But that doesn’t mean there aren’t times when strategic discounting is appropriate! 

If you are struggling to establish your practices, please don’t feel ashamed or inadequate for considering this strategy. You are not a failure! Many therapists used discounting to fill their schedule at the beginning of their practice! It is ONE very effective tool for building a business! Is it the only tool? No, but yes, it is a tool!!! 

Don’t let the pressure to conform to the “no discounting” norm negatively impact your self-esteem or hinder your professional growth.

Discounting is ONE technique towards building a thriving massage practice! And you shouldn’t feel shame about implementing this technique. 

Got it?!?

Why do we do this to ourselves? 🤔 We know body Why do we do this to ourselves? 🤔

We know body mechanics are important, yet so often we neglect our own well-being when giving massage.

It's time to ensure that we, the healers, remain in good health too.

Let's make a commitment to treat our bodies as kindly as we treat our clients'.
