The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast

Hi, I’m Krista, and I love sharing the stories of massage therapists from around the world. I am constantly fascinated by the way our career allows freedom, flexibility, fun, and financial success. I find massage therapists who are living proof that we have a profession like no other that allows us to live life on our terms. Why me? I'm an RMT of 18 years and a clinic owner but, I started this podcast to share YOUR story. Not mine. YOU are the Radical Massage Therapists who inspire me each day. Thanks for being here to support our goals beyond massage, build up the profession, and enjoy life!

    #108 Why Owning Beats Renting: The Path to Business Freedom with Paul Neal, Owner, Vantage Point Commercial Capital & Host of The Brick & Mortar Money Show Podcast

    In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist podcast, our guest is Paul Neal, a financial strategist and author. We discuss the long-term benefits of owning commercial property, rather than renting a clinic space. Paul highlights how owning property can provide financial security, autonomy, and control, especially for clinic owners looking to secure their future or plan for retirement. We explore key considerations for therapists who want to transition from renting to owning, including the forced savings that come with paying down a mortgage and the wealth-building potential of commercial real estate. Paul also emphasizes that property ownership can be a strategic move for those looking to expand their business while securing their retirement with an appreciating asset. This episode is packed with valuable insights for massage therapists who want to achieve financial success and freedom in their practice. Paul encourages therapists to think long-term and explore the possibilities of clinic ownership as part of building a sustainable, prosperous future. Whether you're currently renting or considering ownership in the future, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on how investing in property could unlock new opportunities for your business and personal financial growth. - Contact Paul: www.ownyourbuilding.com Paul@VPC.capital Buy "Un-Lease Your Business: Unlock Wealth, Autonomy and Control by Buying Your Building and Firing Your Landlord" - www.theradicalrmt.com krista@theradicalrmt.com @theradicalmassagetherapist
