More about the owner

As I mentioned in my earlier post, owning my own business has been very challenging.  I had a great job that was stable, paid well with benefits and security.  But I always knew that I wanted to own my own business some day.  
So what happened to make me jump?  Well, I was turning 50 (a couple of years ago) and I was having the sort of reckoning that everyone has when they hit milestone years (mostly those followed by a 0!).  I was asking myself in the months preceding that milestone "What's next" and "Where are you headed".  I was having thoughts of leaving my great job and asking myself "Are you crazy?"  But the truth is that I was also being "called" to make this change in my life.  All I can say is that it was a "God thing".  During that year and the two since then, I have seen more miracles in my life than you can imagine!  I don't want to turn my blog into a preachy diatribe so just suffice it to say that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing right now.  Even thought its been hard, it has also been very rewarding too.
Next time, I'll talk about how humbling this experience has been and more.  Until then..."Dare to Jump".

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
