#62 What If I Couldn't Pitch My Product Directly? (17 Questions That Changed My Life: Tim Ferriss) With Krista Dicks, RMT
Hello Radical Massage Therapist!
I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.
The question in this episode is: What If I Couldn't Pitch My Product Directly?
How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?
Did I lose you with the word product? Stick around because I have some ideas as it relates to our service based business!
The thing is- we worked really hard to become massage therapists and earn a professional title but, your title doesn’t help explain what the benefits are of what it means to be a massage therapist.
We often list the certifications of our job title, the skills, and techniques we have but, what people actually want to know about are the success stories as a result of those skills! They want to know about the results.
We forget that it’s the unique person behind the title that helps us stand out from the other massage therapists.
How can we educate about massage therapy without it becoming a lecture?
Check out this episode for ideas on how you can pitch yourself as a massage therapist without actually talking about massage therapy.
I hope you enjoy!

#61 What's The Least Crowded Channel? (17 Questions That Changed My Life: Tim Ferriss) With Krista Dicks, RMT
Hello Radical Massage Therapist!
I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.
The question in this episode is: What's the least crowded channel?
How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?
What the heck does this question mean anyway?
Well, here's how I applied it to this exercise...
Since massage therapy is so wonderful- we try to share massage therapy with everyone!
We can treat it all so why not list everything we do and every modality?
Our practice is located in a city with a large population - why shouldn't I advertise everywhere?
Well, when you consider these areas may be very crowded with other massage therapists doing the same thing- you may not stand out.
Check out this episode for ideas on how you can access the least crowded channel and find the right clients for you and the right massage therapists to work with!
I hope you enjoy!

#60 What If I Let Them Make Decisions Up To $100? $500? $1,000? (17 Questions That Changed My Life: Tim Ferriss) With Krista Dicks, RMT
Hello Radical Massage Therapist!
I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.
The question in this episode is: What If I Let Them Make Decisions Up To $100? $500? $1,000?
How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?
If you are a clinic owner and you feel like all the decisions come down on you and you would like to give some responsibility back to your team then this episode is worth a listen!
How would it feel if you told your team "I Trust You." ?
As a clinic owner I share how I have implemented the $100 or less rule to give my colleagues the power to make decisions on behalf of the clinic. It helps to give me the freedom I am seeking as a business owner too. Because the last thing you want when you're on holiday is a text message that says "we're out of toilet paper."
I hope you enjoy!

Hello Radical Massage Therapist!
I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.
The question in this episode is: If I Could Only Work 2 Hours Per Week On My Business, What Would I Do?
How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?
I know what you're thinking! Yeah right! How could I live on only 2 hours of massage per week?
Well, this is where the magic comes in about really taking time to think about where you are using your energy and is it in the most effective way? Are you getting the desired results?

I hope you enjoy!

#58 What are the worst things that could happen? Could I get back here? (17 Questions That Changed My Life: Tim Ferriss) With Krista Dicks, RMT
Hello Radical Massage Therapist!
I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.
The question in this episode is: What's The Worst That Could Happen? Could I Get Back Here?
How could this relate to your massage career and how could it relate to your personal life?
We all know what Goal Setting is and how to map out a plan to achieve the goal but rarely do we consider breaking down our fears surrounding the goal and often the fear paralyzes us into not taking action and it also gives us some pretty good excuses to keep us safe from taking risks.
Enter Fear Setting.
Tim has a simple pen to paper method for mapping out your fears surrounding a particular goal that helps you to see your fears not as mountains but as mole hills. I lay it out in this episode and share some of my own examples.
I love this exercise and I have used it a few times in my career and personal life which has given me the confidence to take risks and move abroad and also open my own massage practice.
I hope you enjoy!

I journaled daily on these 17 questions as shared by Tim Ferriss and I wanted to share my answers with you.
The question in this episode is: What would I do/have/be if I had $10 million? What’s my real TMI?
How do we know as a massage therapist when enough is enough?
What's your answer to this popular question? Would you quit massage therapy? How big do you dream? What are you deferring until retirement? Do you really know how much your dream life will cost? Why can't you live part of it out now instead of waiting?
I hope you enjoy!

Customer Reviews
Helps Greatly!
As a fellow massage therapist, this podcast speaks to my soul. Thank you!
Nothing short of amazing
When I first started listening to Krista's podcast, I was blown away by her natural ability to connect with not only her audience, but also her guests that appear on her show.
Krista's gentle, yet fact finding approach to what she does is what I think gives her an edge! You can tell that her content is studied and prepared for.
This is by far one of my favorite podcasts that I listen because every time I learn something new. It's funny how you can feel so connected to someone like you've known them forever. This is exactly how Krista makes you feel when you listen to her material.
Thanks Krista for playing such an impactful and pivotal role in this dynamic industry. We need many more Krista's in the world.
Looking forward to more
Loved Krista questions! She has a very calm and relaxing voice that’s easy to listen to. I hope her next guests have a bit more passion for the profession. It was disappointing listening to someone go on who admits to staying in the profession for a “highly hourly rate” and that “doesn’t find it challenging enough”. I am looking forward to listening to her next guests.
