A Little About The Owner.

As the owner of Texas Sports Massage and Day Spa, its about time you heard from me! I'm uncomfortable posting on Facebook whether its on my business page or even my personal page. I never know how my thoughts might be perceived so I will like posts now and then or even share a cute video or meme but putting my thoughts out there for the world to see is a bit frightening for me. I'm not shy so its kinda out of character for me to be so worried about posting. In fact, for those of you who know me, I'm pretty silly most of the time and I love laughing and having a good time. I also love making other people laugh. You'd think I would be ready to put my thoughts out there, "pero No"!!
As a business owner, the value of Facebook and it's reach can not be ignored. I've read numerous articles telling me to post this and that and I've managed to ignore them for quite some time now. But the incessant pestering has taken a toll on me so...here I am, posting, even against my better judgement. I'm really not sure if the world is ready for the profound musings of the one and only Theresa White Roy but...here goes...
Owning a business has been the greatest challenge of my life! I knew it would be hard but...not this hard! It's also VERY rewarding. Somewhat akin to planting a vegetable garden and checking daily to make sure it has enough water, fertilizer and sunshine. I've learned more in the past year and a half than I can even begin to explain here. Not all of my vegetables made it this far...but I'm still planting and worrying over the whole garden. The good news is that after preparing, planting, picking some weeds, and watering, I'm now seeing the fruits (or vegetables) of my labor.
If you're thinking about starting a business of your own, I highly recommend watching this short, behind the scenes video of Steve Harvey. https://youtu.be/kILVFRlUtT8 If it doesn't move you...nothing will!

From The Owner: "I'm JUST The Owner!"

One of the questions I get asked most often is "What do you do here (at Texas Sports Massage and Day Spa)?  My answer:  Well, I'm not a Massage Therapist, Esthetician or Cosmetologist so I'm JUST an owner!  I also joke that I'm the toilet scrubber, dish washer, trash taker-outer and whatever needs to be done.  But its no joke!  I scrubbed the toilet just this morning!  But make no mistake, I'm busy everyday.  My number-one job is to make sure the phone rings and people are booking appointments.  I spend countless hours on Google Adwords, Yelp, Facebook, Constant Contact, Blogger and our website creating ads, posting, updating, writing and so on.  I work on budgeting, payments and finances.  I research and purchase supplies and products.  I research new services that will complement our current services.  I schedule and attend marketing and networking opportunities. I try to keep my team motivated, up beat and ready to provide not only great services to our clients

From the Cosmetologist: My Journey to Becoming a Licensed Cosmetologist

Some people that have known me my whole life have trouble believing that I became a beauty professional considering I have never really been a "girly" girl. My mom always talks about how when I was a little kid, I could care less about what I looked like. I was totally cool with not having matching clothes or disheveled hair. I truly didn't care. It wasn't until I turned probably 13 or so did I really start caring about my appearance. Up until then I was generally a hot mess (and I still am sometimes, haha). I will say that I always had a knack for hair and make up. I was always doing my friend's hair and make up for fun or for special events. There was a time where my mom gave me a box of make up that she didn't use any more and it was on on like flan! I would sit at my mom's vanity and play with make up and at times I would go a little overboard and end up looking like a drag queen (not that I am not fascinated by those ladies). I always loved getting
