Reasons We Are Led
Some of us are massage therapists because we love to make people feel good.
Some of us are yoga instructors because it was the natural path of our spiritual practice.
Some of us are wellness coaches because we healed ourselves and desire to “help” people.
Whatever the reason, WE ARE CALLED to serve in the way in which we do. WE THOROUGHLY ENJOY what we do and are thrilled to discover WE CAN/ARE MAKING A LIVING doing what we do.
A few of us know at the starting gate, either before, during or immediately after our training that we desire to professionally practice independently, meaning have our own business. Others of us learn over time serving as an employee in our called field or another that we are cut from the destined entrepreneurial cloth . We develop a yearning for freedom that looks like more control over our whole life, including our work.
We may desire to professionally practice in the way we want versus the way our employer wants. For example, we may not care much for performing salt glows and body wraps but get extra excited every time we work with a client who wants a sports massage. We might realize that we feel like we are walking on egg shells or risking our livelihood when speak with clients about how to improve their quality of life because we choose to use “spiritual language” and suggest energy work instead of the company’s cookie cutter messages and protocol.
Independent Mind-Body Practitioners…
– greet mornings with a smile on their faces, feeling excited about what each day has to offer
– feel in control of their lives and achieve success by their own definition
– choose how they spend their time and how much income they earn
How does independence sound?___________. Scary? Intriguing? Ideal? Feel in the blank.
Wherefore Art Thou Considerations
You might be considering going independent as a professional Mind-Body Practitioner but aren’t certain you are in the perfect time and space to initiate your very own Mind-Body business.
Let me ask you. What makes any given point in time and space perfect, ever?
Let me tell you. YOU. You make the choice, you make the decision, that this moment or any moment is the perfect moment for anything including going independent.
You say, but wait, aren’t there risks involved in going independent?
I say, yes, there very well could be risks and most likely will be risks in going independent but risks can be managed and by being a reasonable risk taker you are even the more ready to go independent and realize success by your own definition.
