Creating a Massage Therapy Job Vision Statement.
Just like anything else, you need to start out looking for a job with a vision of what you want. Creating the vision will bring you clarity and a place to set a bottom line. The bottom line will be the place where your
needs will still be met. A bottom line will let you know when you are settling for less than what you really want. Settling for less can lead to dissatisfaction, unhappiness and possibly burn out. You will most likely not last long at a job that goes below that bottom
line.

Also, when you create a vision you can take it with you to job interviews. An employer may be more likely to hire someone who knows what they want. You may also be able to give ideas to the employer – things that they may have never thought about.
