Essential Business Skills for Massage Entrepreneurs

Course Summary

Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed trying to run your massage business?

Do you struggle to keep up with appointment scheduling, marketing, or managing your money?

Are you thinking about starting or growing your massage practice—but aren’t sure where to begin?

All of these are essential business skills.

Most massage therapists spend years mastering hands-on techniques, but very few are taught how to actually run a business. As a result, many end up frustrated, underpaid, or overworked—not because they aren’t great massage therapists, but because they never learned the essential skills that support a successful practice.

This course will help you identify the areas where your business could be stronger—and give you the tools and knowledge to make real improvements. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to grow, this class will help you focus your time and energy where it matters most.
