Stepping out of employment into self-employment can feel overwhelming. This massage therapist had spotted a real gap in the market, but needed a clear business plan, a financial strategy and a marketing approach to turn the idea into a sustainable business.
The work started with a discovery phase: setting personal, financial and professional objectives, a SWOT/TOWS analysis, a resources audit, and a market and risk review. From that, a solid plan took shape, vision and values, marketing, operations and financial planning.
Instead of relying on traditional advertising, she built partnerships with complementary businesses, wellness centres, gyms and salons, to cross-promote and win referrals, backed by face-to-face networking and a sharper social media presence.
