Hire an Expert When you run a reflexology busines Hire an Expert When you run a reflexology business you will wear many hats within your role of CEO including therapist, bookkeeper, marketing manager, social media content producer and more. It can be overwhelming at times trying to wear these many hats and trying to do everything. One of the most important lessons I discovered when I created my business was that we don’t have to be an expert at everything and it can really help your business to grow if you outsource work and ask an expert for help. For example, have you tried to create your own website? Did it take hours of your time to work out the technical aspects when you really wanted to be in the treatment room with your clients? How much time did it take you? In instances like this hiring a company to create your website for you could help you to have the website you want to help your business grow, it can free up time for you to work on other areas of your business and it can help to keep those stress levels low. Reaching out for help is not a weakness it is incredibly empowering and will help you to achieve your goals. Don’t forget if you are looking for help with your business the Love Reflexology Directory lists website designers, copyrighting, mentors, coaches, social media training and professional associations - the link is in the bio for you to explore. Do you outsource any areas of your business to free-up time?

Tuesday Tip If you would like more reflexology cl Tuesday Tip If you would like more reflexology clients for your business and you use Facebook, I highly recommend joining local Facebook groups for your geographical area as a great way to grow. Many people use local Facebook groups to ask for recommendations for a range of businesses including reflexologists, so if you are present in the group you will be able to respond. The second image shared with this post is an example of a post a resident made looking for a reflexologist. Before I had even responded one of my lovely clients had recommended me in the comments which is wonderful. So I was able to respond to the post and also thank my existing client and keep the positive relationship we have going. If I had not been in the group I would not have seen this post, or the fact my client had recommended me. The outcome was a new client and relationship building with the existing client. Result! As well as responding to posts some groups allow businesses to post to promote their services/products. Before you post promoting your business check the group rules to establish when they allow businesses to advertise. Have you gained new clients from using Facebook groups?

Lesley shares: "I’m a transformational coach and mentor to therapists who dream of growing a thriving business, but are often stressed out. Is this you? You're trying to find the balance between caring for clients and making money. Helping your clients release stress but having no outlet yourself.

As well as coaching, I run a successful holistic business. I'm a Reflexologist & Reiki Master of over 20 years. I also run courses, retreats and meditation classes myself, and know how important it is to have the right support to grow without running yourself into the ground. My offers include bespoke 1:1 coaching. Alongside very practical solutions, I work with you intuitively and incorporate energy work and mindfulness practices. My aim is to help you tune into your purpose, rediscover the fun/love of your business, feel relaxed within your personal life and create a clear direction.
