    Episode 082: Planning A Year You'll Be Proud Of
    Feb 4 2025

    The new year is here, and it’s time to set yourself up for success! In this episode, Jackie and David guide you through setting personal, professional, and business goals that will shape your year in a way that feels exciting and achievable.

    In this episode, we dive into:
    ✅ Personal goals – What do you really want to do this year? Travel? More time with family? A fitness challenge?
    ✅ Professional goals – How can you grow in your career? Take on more responsibility, learn a new skill, or specialise in something new?
    ✅ Business planning – The one-page business plan that keeps things simple, clear, and actionable.

    David and Jackie also share their own goals—including David’s plan to learn German for a bucket-list family trip, his upcoming 10km running race, and his specialist training in face, neck, and swallowing disorders.

    Jackie reflects on reshaping her work-life balance, planning more family adventures, and shifting her niche towards lymphatic therapy.

    Plus, they discuss how to break big goals into manageable steps, adjust when things change, and keep yourself motivated. And as a bonus, they’re giving away a free downloadable planning template to help you map out your perfect year.

    Episode 080: Your Questions Answered
    Dec 10 2024

    In this episode, we dive straight into the questions you’ve been asking. From the logistics of overseas training to the nitty-gritty of taxation and bookkeeping, we tackle the practical challenges faced by massage therapists. We share plans for a new finance-focused series featuring experts, offering the tools you need to manage your business confidently.

    We also discuss the industry-wide debate about whether there should be one governing body for massage therapists in Australia. With insights into current training standards and the challenges of uniting under a single voice, we explore what it could mean for the profession.

    Ever wondered if association membership is worth it, especially for part-time mobile therapists? We break down the benefits, from networking and advocacy to access to resources and support. Plus, we unpack the pros and cons of massage subscription models and touch on the current chaos surrounding the NDIS and how it’s impacting therapists.

    This episode blends advice, industry stories, and practical takeaways to help you make informed decisions. Have more questions? Let us know—we’re here to help!
