I want to but I can’t
Ask Tonic’s Coach March 2019 I want to but I can’t By Rod Macdonald, Certified Coach Practitioner and Tonic’s Resident Coach Q: Hi Rod, I want to start my own business as a registered massage therapist (RMT) but I can’t seem to get things going. I am really passionate about what I do, and everyone who experiences my work thinks it’s awesome, but I don’t know how to get enough clients to survive. I really don’t want to go back to the office job I used to have. -Jorgen A: Jorgen, you are facing a common challenge. Almost every entrepreneur who is skill-based (think chefs, personal trainers, etc.) are really passionate about what they do, and yet struggle make a successful business of it. Here are some of the things you can ask yourself and get things going: 1) What are the areas you need help with? If you are passionate about massage, you may be weaker in areas such as marketing, accounting and legal issues. You can either get stronger in those areas or hire people to do those things
