 Posted: 02/16/03 - 22:08 Post subject: I'm finally going to jump...
...into the world of full time self employment  . I plan to finish this day job at the end of April. Or earlier if my boss doesn't appreciate my two months notice I'm going to give him  .
I'm going to do further massage training, so from May I will be attending college every Friday, and also one Thursday afternoon in four. The rest of the time I will be concentrating on building my muscle therapy business.
I've been making excuses for the last six months as to why I can't do this, and I have finally decided to just do it. My website is nearly ready, as is my business plan, marketing plan and financials, and we have enough money saved to carry us through for the first few months while I chase a larger regular clientele than I currently have.
Its scary thinking about having to have a clientele, but I've had a good start as today I picked up a massage job at a four day cycle tour next month  . I was going on the tour anyway as my hub and some friends are riding, and I had planned to ride it in a relay until the other half of my team pulled out this weekend.
I am sooooooo excited. Only 73 sleeps to go!!

You go, Rache!! That is great news, I know you can do it! Wish I lived closer, I could use a good massage therapist.....
It's a big scary venture but I bet it's one you won't regret once it gets going! Sounds like you've planned well, so GO FOR IT!

That is so exciting. It's very brave of you to take some risks to actively pursue something that you know will make you happy.
I hope everything goes wonderfully for you.

That's fantastic, Rache! Maybe you can give a long-distance vocal massage sometime soon!

If you need any overused triathlete muscle to practice on, I'm only a 24 hour flight away
