You know you want to start a massage business, now what? I can tell you what I did, but please keep in mind I do not have a business degree and speak only from experience. The first thing you need is a name. So I would suggest picking a name that describes you and your business, but make it creative and as catchy as you can so people remember it, I chose Bee Well Massage, because I love bees and  ”Be Well” is a common phrase that I made into my own version. The next thing I did was build a website. I purchased www.beewellmassage.com, got creative with it, and now I have my very own website. After you have a name, you want to make sure nobody else can have that name either, so I went and purchased Bee Well Massage. You can do this by going to The Secretary Of State for the specific state you live in. So now I have my own name, website, and nobody else can have it! Another important thing you are going to want is insurance. If you are running your own practice you are going to want to be protected. I would suggest looking around at a few massage insurance companies so you know you are getting what you need for the best deal.  Now, the fun begins, time to get some clients!!!!

Who ever said starting a business was easy is either a liar or a jokster! I don’t think starting any business is an easy task, massage therapy included. My business is Bee Well Massage and I will be celebrating its one year anniversery. Just when I thought it was going to get easier I learned running a business is never going to get any easier.
Starting a business can be great because you get to make all your own decisions, you decide what hours what you want to work, what you can wear, what direction you want the business to grow in, and you get to be your own boss. Sounds great right? Well…..
Starting a business is challenging because you are own boss, so you are responsible for everything good and bad, it falls on your shoulders. To start and maintain your own business you have to be self-motivated, driven, and making money can not and should not be your first priority.
Owning your own business can be a very powerful and rewarding endeavor to take on. Its so much work, but seeing the results of your work is the best feeling! You know when something great happens its because of your hard work and you made it happen!
I encourage you all to start your own business, just get ready to work your little busy bee butts off!
 Bee Healthy. Bee Happy. Bee Well. Â
