Be Inspired to Take Time Off...

The longest time I have spent away from my massage practice was approximately three weeks when I volunteered to be part of the support crew for team Xstrata in The Race Across America. I knew it was a once in a lifetime adventure that I couldn't pass up, and I enjoyed every minute of the experience! But, as a self-employed massage therapist, if I wasn't working, I wasn't getting paid. 

Does that last sentence resonate with you? Have you held out on vacations or missed opportunities because you were worried about the loss of income? 

When I recently met with Arlene Keith (formerly Doyle), an RMT of 38 years, she explained how she travels for months at a time and maintains a supportive massage practice. What advice would she give to those who are self-employed and hesitate to take more time off? “You can’t add up how much money you're losing for traveling”
I admit that the loss of income is a factor I struggle with when taking time off. However, over the years with planning and preparation- sometimes a bit of hustle afterward, it can all work itself out! Ask me how.

The truth is that we need to take time off for our own well-being, which Arlene also explains in this episode. 

I hope that you will consider the cost benefits of taking time off and make a plan for yourself to do so. 

Most people won’t because it’s easier not to. Are you most people?
