MTCoaching 1-2-1 Clients “After 9 years as a massage therapist and 5 years as a clinic owner, I had become aware that I was not seeing the financial reward for my work that I deserved, and that I was putting the needs of my associates too far ahead of my own. I knew it was time to get some professional advice about running my business. MTCoach gave me practical solutions for solving this problem. I look at my business differently now. I feel more confident about ensuring that my own needs are met. I am clear on what my expectations are of my associates and on what they can expect of me. MTCoach addressed this situation in very specific ways. The advice was practical and came with very real suggestions for implementing solutions. What I didn’t expect was such a change in perspective. I hadn’t previously thought much about my role as a therapist-owner. I now see myself as having much more to offer my associates than I had realized, and that sharing these things in concrete ways is my responsibility to them. Donald Quinn Dillon has an abundance of knowledge about running a massage therapy business. I doubt there is a problem he couldn’t address! Thank you for leading me to take a new look at my business. While offering solutions to very specific problems, you also changed my perspective and caused me to take a look at myself.” ─ Tracy McLaughlin, MT
After just two sessions with Donald I realized that as a result of his coaching I had a very positive change in my mindset with regards to acquiring new clients and retaining existing ones. He helped me to come up with ways to retain more business and to get my clients to utilize my services more frequently. I realized that I have a very good client base, in other words my perception has changed in a very positive way. One important lesson I have learned not only in business but in life is that our perception of things becomes our reality, so if we see and perceive things in a more positive light our reality can't help but improve. (Don Dillon is)…a very sincere, caring, knowledgeable seasoned RMT who can give you excellent advice strictly pertaining to our field because of his day-to-day hands on experience and knowledge.” ─ Ornella Cagnin, RMT “(The primary problem I was facing) was trying to get organized and put systems in place to create a smoothly running clinic. I was looking to find good staff and learn how to talk to them. (I wanted) to get all paper work in order, ie: contracts, taxes etc. My results were AWESOME! I really enjoyed the personal interaction with my coach. We set up times that were convenient for me to talk…I enjoyed the personal attention and I really felt connected. Don was always on top of things - we always picked up where we left off in conversation, and I really felt like he was listening. I felt he knew what I was going through and always had good suggestions to help me overcome my problems. (I’d recommend MTCoach because) he is easy to talk to (and helped me) overcome problems I couldn’t see solutions to. Very organized, which helped me to be organized. Just an overall great experience! MTCoach helped me get organized and put systems into place…The clinic runs much more smoothly and efficiently. Thank You Don Dillon for helping me to not be so stressed and overwhelmed!” ─ Rosie Dzugan, RMT |
"Excellent
presenter, very informative and knowledgeable. I loved the open
format!"
“Don provided me with new ways of being
efficient with documentation.” 
“I learned tons — I have to take control of my
practice and marketing!” 
“I would recommend this workshop to new grads.
I know it would have helped me tremendously when I was setting up my
practice. It’s much easier to do things right from the beginning than to
have to correct them later
