Massage Therapy : How to Choose a Business Location for Massage

[roughan1837]

@iuno06 I highly doubt you have any resemblance of intelligence, that's all you can grumble out. Don't even bother commenting on a clip if all you have is offensive derogatory remarks.

people in the ghetto dont deserve a massage?? what kind of ThERAPIST are U???

u are very ignorant

[JP5466]

@fennkell She did not say ghetto people do not deserve massages, but can a very low income person realistically afford to pay $40-60/hour for a massage? From a business perspective she is 100% correct. You would not your business in the ghetto either.

[roughan1837]

@fennkell You are Hippocratic, you are very naive and ignorant, listen to what she actually said instead of what you think she said.

Why I wouldn't open up a Massage therapist clinic in a Ghetto

1. Not a safe environment

2. High risk of getting robbed

3. Not a calming environment for your customers

4. Chance of good paying customers, slim to none

No need to sugar coat it and pretend that it would be a great place to do business because it simply is not.

[roughan1837]

You are so far of base I am actually embarrassed for you

[fennkell]

@roughan1837 well guess what, I 'll just keep my successful massage practice in the ghetto where its been for the past 10 years.....and continuing practicing with compassion and good intent rather than greed and stereo types. at least no I know why I don’t have any competition in the area( its because ignorance is bliss)

[roughan1837]

@fennkell Dont be so melow dramatic, if you have actually run a business for over 10 years then you wouldnt be looking up videos on youtube on how to do it beter. good luck trying to run a business fuelled by poverty because you will be there for a few decades to come. the whole ignorance is bliss thing is just crap, if you want to tell people running a business in the Ghetto is a smart decision, go right ahead but we dont have to listen to it.

@roughan1837 this video was brought to my attention by my students. i was truely offended when a saw it & felt someone should speak in the defense of the so called "GHETTO". its misleading to tell aspiring massage practice owners where they should not open a practice. the opportunities in this industry are endless & we as therapist should explore every avenue. my target market are Medicaid recipients. Target market determines location. lets spread the love, not ignorance...live well

'The ghetto' and "people that are gonna put money in your pocket' ... yeah that definitely could have been worded better than that.

[roughan1837]

@dollbaby513 agreed but at the end of the day you are running a business, generally one that makes money. The Ghetto is more likely to take money from your pocket rather than put it in there.
