5. Exploring new avenues to bring in additional income

Professional Reflexologists are earning between $60, $75 or even $125 or more per hour. 

Consider ways of multiplying your time and energy into more abundance.  You can do that through:

      1.  Selling products – such as supplements, vitamins, herbs, newsletters, health products

      2.  Taking on staff that can help the busines grow and be more properous and abundant

Consider investing in the marketing expertise and the resources to make this happen successfully. 

Learning how to successfully develop different income streams and you will be able to pass your abundance to others in ways you have yet to dream of.

4. Having business mentors/coaches to keep you focused and on track

Some Reflexologists find it a lonely profession.  If you choose to work out of your home and not in a spa, clinic or other professional office, you might not  get the opportunity to talk shop or meet at the water cooler or have tea with your colleagues, as most do in nearly all other professions. 

It’s important you find the time to spend time with people who are successful.

You see, you become like your tribe.  Do you invest your precious time with people that are uplifting and positive or do you spend time with people that whinge and moan about life.  As a Reflexologist it’s important that you invest both your time and your money in being coached and mentored.  Some successful professionals even say that this is the key to their success and growth over the years.   

Coaching and mentoring will provide you with a completely different view allowing you to explore and expand into becoming all of who you were meant to be.

3.  Do you want help to work on your own personal/spiritual development to resolve your own issues?

Are you the kind of Reflexologist who is controlled internally by a subconscious need to stay in your own comfort zone rather than challenging yourself?

If so, you will always find a justification to keep yourself held back.  Lately it’s been the “ecomony”, or “recession”, others are ”family needs”, prefer to work “part time”, and on and on and on.  The hard truth is it’s always you and solely you that is responsible for your economic circumstances.

You need to stop yourself from burning out energetically which keeps you exhausted and at a low vibration and focus on keeping your energy high. This means doing your own spiritual practice on a daily basis so you emit a potent and attractive energetic force.

It’s also important you actively clear unresolved issues and beliefs around money and eagerly study, research and develop the mindset of entrepreneurs that you admire and would like to copy. 

Study them and replicate what they do and you will have similar success.

2. Are you a very good healer but need help with business/marketing skills?

You may have heard the saying ‘work on your business – not in your business’.  What this means is rather than doing everything yourself you set up business systems and procedures and train people to follow those systems in your business.  It truly is a false economy to think you can do everything yourself – and this will be the ceiling on your business if you harbour this limiting belief.  As the business owner – and yes, if you are taking money for your services you are running a business – you need to look at ways to leverage yourself.

This means, you do the work once – train someone or develop some marketing – and get paid for it indefinitely.  It’s also important that you learn how to develop a marketing system that delivers clients to you without having to worry about whether the phone is going to ring every day.

The first step is going from being a generalist in your healing field to being a specialist in a particular area. This will mean you can focus your marketing on reaching people with the problem you solve.  Do you specialize in your services – working with moms, seniors, children, back pain, athletes, women’s issues, and so on?

You will then be able to make intelligent decisions about the best medium (display ads, online ads, etc) to use to reach your clients and the best approach to take in your ads to connect with this target market.

Surveying our students and graduates over the years, provides us with some insight.  For instance the majority of our Reflexology students are driven by a need to help people.  And, nearly all of our students are planning a new career, either full time or part time as a certified Professional Reflexologist.  For many this translates to a desire of owning their own business and becoming their own boss.  Also, of course, the idea of earning a decent income enters the picture as well.

It doesn’t take a chartered accountant to calculate earnings ranging from $50 – $75 per hourly session to add up to a decent income.  It all depends on numbers of clients and how you structure your promotions, etc.

Some of our graduates who become full time Reflexologists earn in excess of $50,000 annually and much more, while enjoying working the hours that they choose to work and take holidays when they want.  Even when you consider a lot of our certified Professional Reflexology graduates elect to work on a part-time basis and yet they still have a median earning of roughly $30,000 annually – not bad for a part-time job, working your own hours.

As with any entrepreneur – the key to success in business is to never give up.  Developing a successful practice takes determination, attitude, professionalism, marketing skills, education and time management. 

It all starts with your first step – why not take it now.

For Professional Reflexology training information, leave a comment below and I will email you all you need to know to get started and join us on the adventure of your lifetime.

When the prospective client calls, have an established procedure to describe your work, fees, and location. Get their phone number and address for your records and just in case you need to reschedule.

When the client arrives for a first session, do you have available a client package of information such as a business card, a description of your rates and what Reflexology is, foot and hand Reflexology charts, and any other information that adds to your credibility? The overall impression of such an approach is stability and professionalism.

Are you listed in the “Yellow Pages” of your local phone book?

Consider your local marketing resources, such as, health food stores, smaller specialty newspapers for announcements & advertising (health, church, or community).

Demonstrations at the health food store, church group, singles group, senior citizens centers, libraries, and so forth can build your presence within the community.

Finally, how committed are you to establishing your Reflexology career? Like any other business it requires time, money, and effort. The beauty of a Reflexology business is that you can start small and build. There is a point, however, where you make a decision about your commitment level. Clients can tell if your practice is a serious professional pursuit or just a fill in.

Consider your work habits. Are you on time for the session with your work space prepared? We have heard reports of practitioners showing up late for the session then ending the session at the scheduled time AND charging a full fee.

Establish a routine for preparing for your work area: note taking, setting the room temperature, turning on lights, adjusting music, lighting candles, checking that the area is clean and neat, putting the phone on an answering machine or whatever else is involved in setting your work place. Treat the client with courtesy. Focus on them and make eye contact during your work.

Add value to your service by offering self-help advice. Not all clients want to work on themselves but for those who do, your self-help lessons convey the message that your goal is to work with them to achieve their goals, no matter who does the work.

Office ambiance is yet another issue. Working out of the den of your home, for example, can be cheap but does your work space match the fees you charge? Value is added to your service by your surroundings. One successful Reflexologist rented an office in a professional building (among other tenants are some 900 dentists) in the downtown, central area of Chicago for years. Value is added to his service with a session room that includes a top-of-the-line Lazy Boy recliner, a stereo, scented candles, and attractive windows that showcase bird feeders and birds drawn to them. The clients enjoy watching the birds and feel that it adds to a relaxing session. Good location, easy parking, good signs, and the availability of an elevator if the office has stairs all contribute to the ease which the prospective client can access your services.

What hours do your work and are you willing to make house calls? Try working at meeting your clients’ schedules, what about Saturday appointments? Do you consider working evenings to accommodate your clients? Also, what about house calls? Some people prefer not leaving their houses and prefer to receive a home visit.

Do you have good relationships with other professionals? A holistic doctor, and other wholistic practitioners such as acupuncturists and massage therapists have proven to be good sources of client referral. Keep them in mind when the client indicates a desire for services outside of your range. Know when to refer out to other professionals. Not only is this in the best interests of the client, but it is also a good professional practice. Straying into areas outside of your professional practice also lessens your credibility as a Reflexologist.
