More About the Author

Hi,

My name is Meagan Holub. I am the author of two niche market business and marketing books. First, "The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a Massage Therapist" which chronicles my rubs to riches story while simultaneously sharing easy to follow steps so any Massage Therapist can build a practice that takes them from broke and burned out, to living the life they love. The second, "More of the Magic Touch: 8 Successful Massage Therapists Share "Out of the Box" Business and Marketing Secrets" is just that- over $1 million dollars of marketing secrets revealed from eight uncommonly successful Massage Therapists! Any small business would benefit from reading this book for actionable marketing strategies on a shoestring budget, or to simply be inspired!

I am currently working on a memoir titled "Confessions of the Celebrity Massage Therapist" to be released in 2011. In my spare time I romp on the beach with my tiny Pomeranian, decorate modern and mid century influenced properties, travel to new and exotic places (sometimes stay and live awhile) and am currently building a company, that I believe will revolutionize the way the Massage Industry connects with, and earns the trust of, the discriminating consumer.

I hope you learn a thing or two from my books, and get a giggle in the process (from my jaw dropping honesty). Work and life are one in the same for us entrepreneurs, so enjoy your evolution! Read books such as these voraciously, but the key to achievement is to take action on the lessons that apply to you, and move through any fears to the other side.

Enjoy! ~Meagan

As a a newly minted L.M.T., I have been busy devouring any information I find regarding my profession. I went to a wonderful school where we were taught some about marketing and had local massage therapists and spa owners come in to speak with us about the industry and our profession. However, I felt the information shared was rather general and was not very helpful if I wanted to seriously pursue my dream of private practice. I decided to open my own practice within a few months of graduating. My former life was spent as a business administrator so I felt confident I could manage my own business. Still, I wanted some validation that I am moving in the correct direction toward a successful career. Being that we are rather solitary professionals, I found it difficult to find the validation I desired. Then I stumbled upon "The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a Massage Therapist" and I am so happy I did!
Ms. Holub took the bull by the horns and outlined everything a budding massage therapist might want to consider implementing into his or her practice or even one's own professional image. In her book, Ms. Holub shares valuable information gleamed from her own clients. I found that information invaluable and felt good that I was already doing much of what she suggests. She even made me reconsider some of my approaches with clients.
I found the information regarding how to break into hotel massage and private practice most insightful. I had already made the decision early on that I would not be interested in pursuing the hotel industry as I am a busy mother of three. However, if I was single and filled with energy I would have considered the hotel industry as a way to build up clientel. If you want information on how to navigate the hotel industry, Ms. Holub's information is valuable. As for private practice, I was already trying to figure out how to draw in more clients. A few of the ideas I had were validated in Ms. Holub's book. Better still, she gave sound advice on how to pursue new avenues for bringing in more clients. I am already successfully implementing some of her suggestions.
Bottom line regarding "The Magic Touch: How to make $100,000 per year as a Massage Therapist" is that it is worth your time. I know I could have really benefited from the information in this book a year ago when I first started out. Now that I have been at if for awhile, it is good to know I am heading in the right direction and have discovered little ways I can tweak my practice into a very successful business.
Thank you, Ms. Holub for extending a hand in a solitary profession, helping us all succeed the best we can!

Intuitive! August 17, 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I feel validated by Meagan! It's difficult to be different and I am in so many ways, one of which is intuitiveness. I felt as though a close friend was sitting next to me on my couch explaining how she made her massage business work by giving me the horrid details of what she had to dredge through to get there. It's as though she wanted me to succeed and not have to visit the dark places she has been, like she wanted me to learn from her experiences. Not many people are willing to share what they worked so hard to achieve.

I may not be able to use all the helpful suggestions that Meagan gives but you can bet she got me thinking outside the box. I have a new perspective of how others view me and my business now. She and I may live in quite different communities, however, several of her ideas are applicable anywhere.

With an open mind and fortitude we can all succeed in this business at whatever income level makes us comfortable. Meagan decided that six figures was comfortable for her and she went out and got it. Way to go Meagan! Thank you for your vulnerability, `friendship', and insight!

Format:Paperback
A short, easy to read book packed with great advice- based on experience of what works and thinking outside the box. Other than a few grammatical errors and some topics that could have been expanded upon, it is well worth the time and money. I did think the book was quite pricey, but given the income possible if the advice is followed, it is reasonable.
