established massage busineses

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO MAKE IF I HAVE AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS?

I have a bachelor's degree and currently work a job in my career field. I want to start a SPA business because I like the nature of the business but I really want to start the business because I see that their is a lot of money in the business. If I start my business, I plan to eventually go to school and get certified as an MT while having the MT's that I plan to hire do the massaging. By the time I get my certification I will already have an established business and then too start doing massages. Does this sound like a plan that can work?

Does it sound like a good plan to you is really the question.

There is a lot of money is spa businesses. You don't actually have to go to massage school to start or run a spa. It is important to understand what a massage therapist goes through and has to do so that you can hire respectful and good massage therapists and help them educate clients.

One of the things that I see that the spas are lacking is in educating clients and having skilled massage therapists who can handle more than relaxation massage as even someone getting a relaxation massage or spa treatment usually has pain of some sort or another. The other thing is that spa's don't seem to promote getting regular sessions and think that people just usually come once or twice for a luxury session.

Good luck
Julie
