In 15 years of practice, I've been an associate where I thought I was paying too much, and I've managed a clinic with associates, with the challenges that brings.  I thought by following the "industry standard" using a straight percentage would work.  I soon learned the "industry standard" needs a major overhaul!

I eventually took an honest look at the books and discovered that I was paying more to associate in my own business than my associates were.  If I kept on the same path I was headed, I would run myself out of business.

This book strives to address the epidemic problem of agreement-frustration for massage therapists; and to provide the reader with clear and concrete strategies to save time, money, and energy when creating better agreements. 

Better Business Agreements may save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars by helping you avoid common (and costly!) mistakes, and guiding you to develop better business agreements!

Why Should You Buy this Book?

Save Time - Time is a precious commodity.  I have distilled 15 years of experience working in the field both as an associate and as a clinic manager to bring this information to you.  Do you want to spend that long getting the information yourself?

Save Money - In my "learning process" to create better agreements, I have spent thousands of dollars in my "education".  This book is available to you for a fraction of the price.

Benefit from Experience - I have over 50 articles published in various industry publications.  I've presented in seminars and provincial conferences.  I've been in practice for over 15 years.  I roll all of my experience regarding agreements into this book that I'm sharing with you.

You May Need an Agreement Someday - If you work from home, or feel you have a fair agreement, you may not need this book.  However, in the future you may be looking to increase your income and increase your standard of living or to put money away for your retirement.  Perhaps you desire to decrease the effects your workload is having on your body, and need supplemental income by bringing on associates.  The chapter on "Financial Intelligence" alone is worth the price of the book!

Perhaps your work situation will change - a key partner will leave or you need to shift your work-space for whatever reason.  This book will help you create your "plan B".

They went out and happened to things. - Elinor Smith
