Jackie and David are back from a break - Conference, Coronavirus and just other stuff. It's rolling into the end of financial year. Jackie is Registering for GST for the first time, David is doubling down on compliance stuff. But really, this week we are here to talk about the podcasts that we listen to and enjoy. Remember, not everything that you do and listen to has to be professional - which is why we crack off this episode with One Song (Jackie's favourite) and Backstage at the Vinyl Cafe (David's favourite).

Jackie and David chat about ways to keep up your education without breaking the bank. If you are a member of a professional association, you need to commit to education every year. And even if you're not a member, continuing education helps to keep you fresh, motivated, up to date and connected with your industry. From borrowing books from the library, to watching webinars and listening to podcasts, to super affordable memberships and then there is MOOCS (it's 100% free y'all) learning has never been easier or more accessible.

Join David as he talks about why you should use email to connect with your clients, what not to do and what he loves to read in an e-news. Sending regular e-mails to your clients doesn't have to be hard, long or fancy, and it especially shouldn't feel dirty. But if you want to cut through the crap already in their inbox you need to give your clients a reason to open your news. Swap the idea of selling for stories. A glimpse of you that your clients can connect with. Like a letter from an old friend. Treat every E-news like it has the potential to go beyond its recipient - because often they do!

Join Jackie as she chats with Amy Tyler of Institute of Oncology Massage. With over two decades in remedial therapy, Amy talks about how massage can provide comfort and aids recovery for cancer survivors.

Amy also shares her personal journey having recovered from a benign brain tumour herself, enhancing her empathy and understanding towards patient care. She advocates for all therapists to learn oncology massage due to its growing necessity and explains that it's more about adapting to individual needs rather than applying a specific technique. Training is essential, as many cancer patients have complex health issues requiring knowledgeable care. Despite the emotional challenges, Amy finds profound fulfilment in her work and encourages ongoing education within the therapeutic community to better serve those affected by cancer.

You can find the Institute of Oncology Massage website and courses here.

Jackie and David share tips and stories about leaving the daily grind into starting your own beautiful massage business on your own terms.

We explore the challenging yet rewarding journey from paid employment to self-employment, discuss the importance of careful planning and financial preparation before making the leap. We also talk about taking your time to build a client base, especially in context with massage therapy, and highlight how leaving your job amicably can provide a safety net for future endeavours. We also encourage being financially proactive by saving for sick leave, superannuation, and emergencies to ensure stability in self-employment. Finally, we talk about how it's important not to compare your progress with others as every journey is unique.

In this episode we mention:
