I am a relatively new massage therapist and am building my business in the afternoon / evenings while still working a full-time job during the day. While my “plan” is to eventually go part-time, I had no idea what the next step was.

There is a lot of logic to your path and I appreciate you putting it out here for the rest of us who have dreams of leaving cube city.
