My First 6 months as Nevada Chapter President

by Mavies Gascon, President, AMTA-NV Chapter As a member of the AMTA-Nevada Chapter, I decided to stay in for the meeting before the continuing education that I had originally signed up for at the 2015 Annual Nevada Chapter Convention. And during that meeting, David Otto, who was my Professional Development instructor at the Nevada School of Massage Therapy (NSMT), and then, being President of the chapter, nominated me to be a part of the organization.

Marketing Strategies – Some Options & Some Considerations

Last time we talked about ways to market yourself and improve business. This time, I want to spend a few lines discussing coupons, Groupons, and marketing strategies. Everyone is looking for a bargain nowadays. We all shop at Walmart, or Costco, or we clip coupons to save money. Have you thought how those companies make so much money?

If, during your week, you perform an average of 20 massages at $70 each, your gross income for that week, before expenses, is $1,400. Obviously, if you want to make…

Keeping A Sense Of Wonder

As I sit and ponder all things that bring wonder to life, it occurs to me that when tasks and duties are more controlled, our time is freed up to do the things in life that bring that sense of wonder. I have met those people who always seem to have time to take a walk on the beach, spend time with family, or even just sit and be still, and, yet, they seem to juggle multiple duties and manage busy work schedules. And yet so many of us are stressed to the max, with little or no time for…
