Welcome to Kathy's $175.00 MN massage seminars.

Are you good at giving backrubs?

Then why haven't you started your own business?

MN hasn't licensed massage therapists, nor required any minimum schooling since May 11th, 2000. So why not join the massage practitioners who charge up to $80 an hour in the Duluth area? (Please note, while MN doesn't license therapists anymore, it still has regulations that must be complied with. There are also county health service sanitation regulations and sales tax laws that must be followed. Local governments can and often do impose their own requirements. As far as I know, Duluth, Cloquet, and Hermantown all require formal training to obtain a permit. Proctor doesn't, and last I knew, Esko, Carlton, and Wrenshal don't either. If you live in an area that does require training, you can rent a treatment room in an area that doesn't, like one of my 4 rooms in Proctor.)

You can even start this business while on unemployment and still looking for work!

Call Kathy (218) 590-7981 or email office@foxesfarm.com today.

If you’ve been looking for work, or just a new career, massage therapy may be just the ticket. How many new careers are there offering $25.00 to $80.00 an hour without investing time and money in school?

Massage certification courses typically take a year of your life and up to $7,200.00 to complete. It’s no wonder that the city of Duluth, which is the home of two such schools, requires 500 hours of training before purchasing their $75.00 permit.

I did, and I'll show you how to do so too in these two day seminars. If you are already good at massage, I can save you up to $7,000 and a year of school.

Seminars are any Saturday and Sunday you'd like to schedule one. If there is just one person, we can go over everything in just one 10 hour day if you're pressed for time, your choice of Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

If you live over 100 miles from Duluth, I'll be happy to conduct a seminar in your area for 2 or more people if you provide the place to hold it. A remote session costs an additional $50.00 total (Not per person.) travel fee for every 100 miles away from Duluth I have to drive to help cover gas and a room. I'd like 2 weeks notice to use my experience to research local/county regulations and find a motel. Such a session may be held Friday through Sunday, your choice of days.

You may even do this while on unemployment. If you find a job before you build this up to a full time business, you can always quit or just massage part-time. I tell you, having a job that is only a few hours a week but pays $25 to $80 per hour is sweet, even if it's just on the side. (Two hours a week at only $30.00 per hour brings in $60.00 per week, or the equivalent of $1.50 an hour spread over a 40 hour week. A $1.50 raise for 2 hours of overtime a week would be something I'd jump at these days.)

I do not teach massage itself, just how to legally charge for it in MN, and the practical lessons and tricks of starting a successful massage business I've had to learn the hard way.

All sessions must be paid at least 2 days in advance so that I can set up the equipment and materials properly. Everyone attending this seminar receives a copy of my book on how to start a massage business in MN. Click here to buy just the book.

This seminar costs $125 to attend. Seminar and first month's rent is free with the signing of a one year lease of a treatment room for $200 to $350 per month at Proctor Massage, table and linens included. Payment can be made in person at Proctor Massage, or buy it now with PayPal. Click here for full rental details. (Bottom of that page.)

Know someone who's good at giving backrubs? Give the gift of a career!

$600.00 - 1 portable massage chair, Seminar, Supplies to conduct 100 massages, 500 business cards, 2 magnetic signs for your car, 100 personalized copies of the MN Client's Bill of Rights, and 50 gift certificates. An $800.00 value! This should get them off to a good start.

$2,400.00 - 12 month sole use rental of a treatment room at Proctor Massage, Seminar, 500 business cards, 2 magnetic signs for your car, 100 personalized copies of the MN Client's Bill of Rights, and 50 gift certificates. A $4,720.00 value! This should get them off to a good start.

The first day of each seminar is devoted to self care, practical tips, and contraindications. Contraindications are important both for ethical and personal reasons. If someone has a dangerous osteoporosis condition, you don't want to be pushing on their back. If someone shows the early signs of a fungal infection, you don't want to spread it or catch it yourself.

The second day of each seminar covers state regulations, how to find out local regulations, complying with and applying for a state sales tax number, and what business expenses the state unemployment insurance allows to be deducted from your earnings. We will also cover inexpensive but effective ways to advertise and catch people's attention.

This seminar will be held at Proctor Massage, 204 3rd Ave (HWY 2), Proctor, MN. Proctor Massage is located right beside Casino Pizza. There should be enough on-street parking for all of us.

Just in time to start your business before the big Christmas Gift Certificate rush!

Group seminar sessions are no longer available. All seminars are now only by appointment with just one to four people. I found it too hard to get everyone the information they needed in such a short time, so now every seminar is tailored to just one person or partnership.

Unfortunately, nothing in life is completely free. You have to invest in a place to practice, equipment, and advertising until you have built a list of regular clients. As far as the place to practice and advertising goes, I can provide that, too. I have 4 treatment rooms for rent on Hwy 2 in downtown Proctor, a city that shares a border with the city of Duluth. These rooms are fully furnished, including table and linens for $200.00 to $370.00/month.

This seminar is free with a 1 year treatment room lease at Proctor Massage, as is the first month’s rent, 2 magnetic car signs, and 250 business cards to get you started. Please see the other side of this paper for more details on treatment room rentals. Call Kathy at 590-7981, stop by, or see www.FoxesFarm.com for my email address. This is a great opportunity for someone willing to keep the shop open on Friday and Saturday, as I get many calls asking for service when I’m not open. This lease isn't so onerous, as I only need 3 months notice for you to legally get out of it if you find other work.

Hope to see you soon,

Kathy Fox.

If I could do it, you should be able to, too!

I have had the business of Proctor Massage for two years now, and have built a list of steady clients that I can count on. Because of this, I feel free to make a little money teaching others how to strike out on their own. If I'm lucky, I'll even get a few renters to help pay my overhead. If you live in a place like Duluth or WI, you can't do this in your home, but you could come to Proctor and share the place with me. Or if you know someone in an area that doesn't regulate massage, like Proctor, perhaps you can make an arrangement.

Cheat-proof $10.00 donation program: Click here Those $10.00 donation rings sound pretty good, don't they? But too many people cheat, so no-one really makes much money. This is a secure web-page, and the only way someone gets their own is to pay you. Plus there are a slew of downloads that you get as soon as your payment is received, so that makes it a sales letter rather than a chain letter.
