This is a recording of a coaching call between myself (Krista Dicks, RMT) and Emilie McKay, RMT (@Thermtpreneur). I was getting ready to leave on holiday and I have been purposely saving to give myself time off to alleviate my financial stress while on holiday. Talking to Emilie gave me clarity and helped answered my questions. You are not alone in navigating a successful massage practice while being self-employed. We often over complicate or overwork ourselves when it comes to taking time off and we may even daydream about what it's like to have paid vacation days if we worked with the government or a larger company. I hope this episode answers your questions and encourages you to to write your own cheque while you are enjoying some much needed rest and recovery as a healthcare provider. Emilie and I discuss: - How much do you really need to set aside for 1, 2 or 3 weeks off? - Do you calculate on gross or net income? - Best options for savings accounts to maximize growth - Why time is on your side - Why trying to make up the hours will lead to burnout - Mentioned in this episode #37 Effective Networking with Emilie McKay Massage Therapy Media - Check out our bonus video episode on Building a Sustainable Practice to Avoid Burnout

Hello Radical Massage Therapist! I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you. The question in this episode is: What might I put in place to allow me to go off the grid for 4 to 8 weeks, with no phone or email? How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life? We can all benefit from exploring this question even if you never plan to go off the grid for any amount of time.Systems are sexy and if you don't have them you will quickly find out where there are bottlenecks in your practice, how much you micromange , and how quickly things can fall apart if you aren't around. That's not what we want. One goal of starting business (including a massage practice) is to enjoy time freedom away from it! So why make things difficult on yourself by gatekeeping?In this episode I share my top tips for creating systems in my practice, how I build trust with my colleagues, and ways I am still improving. I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist! I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you. The question in this episode is: Do I Have To Make It Back The Way I Lost It? How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life? Do you know anyone who quit massage school near the end? Do you know anyone who failed the boards and decided to not try again? Do you know anyone who passed the boards and decided to not even begin a career in massage therapy? Are you a "finisher" and do you feel that once you start something, you have to complete it? Even if you're not into it anymore? Check out this episode for permission on how you can let go of finishing just because you started and understand that as massage therapists we don't have to make our money back the way that we "lost it" in the first place! I hope you enjoy! Transcript ⁠Link⁠ __ @TheRadicalRMT www.theradicalrmt.com __ Want to see the full list of questions? https://tim.blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/17-Questions-That-Changed-My-Life.pdf
