What's the buzz about business?

With the holidays over, and as I settle into 2009, I can’t help but reflect on the past year, and all that I am grateful for including my business. When it comes to owning a business how much does karma and the law of attraction effect it?  Well my belief is more than we will ever know. When I first started Bee Well Massage, time management was a big struggle and still is. I  work 32hrs. at a health food store, I also write for a publication as well as other random projects I like to get involved with along with taking time for my boyfriend of 3 years and 10 year old dog, as well as run BWM. All of these things in my life bring me great joy, but it is a lot of energy to distribute.  There were times when I had to reschedule massage or change my work schedule. I would have to cancel plans with friends and change plans last minute with them and my boyfriend. It was just short of chaotic. Clients started to cancel on me, they would not take me or Bee Well Massage seriously. I had had enough, and decided  I would dedicate two days a week to massage, and only book three a day. That way I had time for clients, family and still one day off for me! With that being said my massage schedule is not flexable but its consistent and makes it so I am more reliable to my clients and friends.

I have had issues in the past with people wanting more than the proffesional massage I provide. I was so confused as to why I was attracting these people in to my business. I took a step back and came to the conclusion that nowhere on my website did I have a disclaimer explaing I am a proffesional and only practice therapuetic massage. I also had to look at all the “free” places I was advertising. When you first start a business you are trying to get your name out there as much as you can, of course, that is what you are supposed to do, but we also work in a somewhat risky practice. So even though it may be free it still comes at a price. I have even stopped in the middle of a massage after a man had made a sexual suggestion towards me, and told him “Bee Well Massage practices the law of attraction and I am not looking to attract clients like you” he thought I was crazy but I don’t care. I ask the universe to guide me to reliable, polite clients, I visualise meeting clients that like my practice because it is proffesional and give thanks for the clients I have the appreciate the services I provide.

Each day I give thanks for my business, ask for success with the right clients and visualise it happening. I have set reasonable goals, that are all surfacing into reality. My clients are reliable, and have been perfect for me. I will always practice the law of attraction in Bee Well Massage and in all my life. I encourage you all to do the same.

BEE HEALTHY. BEE HAPPY. BEE WELL.

 

This was something I just wrote for my website, thought I would share with you all……

Did you know that getting massages is great way to stay warm, healthy and happy this winter?

Massage techniques can improve circulation, massage moves the blood around your whole body making you feel warm. Also with the warm hands of your therapist moving along your body it can really relax your muscles and make you feel so warm and cozy! Do you know that you lose most of your body heat from the top of your head? Usually in the winter I like to spend some extra time on my clients scalp to really warm them up, along with a nice blanket that is really comforting. You will feel like a child being tucked in on a snowy winter night! So this winter before cranking the heat up, cuddle up with a special someone or your favorite blanket and just give your toes, fingers and scalp a nice massage!

Are you looking to maintain your healthy lifestyle you worked hard for even  in the winter, when it seems to get harder to acomplish your health goals?  With all the holiday parties, and cooking you will be doing this winter, as well as the natural cycle of your body craving those crazy carbs when you get a cold chill, massage is a great way to boost your metabolism as well as fight cellulite. So if you are feely guilty about that extra cookie or glass of eggnog, get a massage, not only will it help you forget about the previous snacks,  but it will help you feel fit and light on your feet again!

Have these cold, dark months got you down?Are you stressed by the snow, hoidays, lack of sun and anything else that  can the best of you this winter? Don’t stress, massage can help to beat those winter blues.  There is nothing better for yourself than to get a massage. With the smell of fresh lavendar in the air, some relaxing music for you, you get to just close your eyes and a nice therapist will take care and nurture you, you will feel the stress sweeping out of your body. When the massage is through you will feel, relaxed, motivated, and refreshed, as well as happy, and ready to handle whatever life may hand you next!

Massage is a very healthy way to lose those winter blues. Stay warm, healthy and happy this winter with the power of massage, let Bee Well do something nice for you!

MASSAGE TIP #2: when you get cold this winter, give your feet, hands and scalp a nice relaxing massage!
