I did do it and am feeling great<img src="http://blog.spalutions.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /><br /> <br /> The Ramblin Rose events (<a href="http://www.ramblinroseevents.com">www.ramblinroseevents.com</a>) are a little shorter than a typical Sprint Triathlon. We swam 225 yards, biked 8 and ran 2. It was a great start for me and I am already planning strategies to make the next event better. If I can get better at swimming, then bigger events will be possible as well. Look for another post - probably at the end of this week - about my aha's in the event that related to business and being a success there too.<br /> <br /> Felicia</span>Felicia Brown LMBT2011-08-22T11:52:16Zhttp://blog.spalutions.com/2011/08/20/i-can-do-it.aspx#comment-11417394<span> </span>Congrats on signing up for your first Tri :) Is it a try-a-tri or a sprint that you're doing? Triathlons, Duathlons and running events are a great way to help you achieve your personal health goals. Good Luck with your race tomorrow! You CAN do it!!Amanda2011-08-21T18:02:40Zhttp://blog.spalutions.com/2011/06/02/what-is-your-biggest-business-concern.aspx#comment-11360334<span> </span>Thanks for this post about Rubs Massage.

I enjoy your blog and tips. I'm in a "transition" right now. (I think.)So I am taking notes for the near future. But I have writer's block on my blog. (sad face) What do you do when you have writer's block??Tracy2011-07-17T01:20:35Zhttp://blog.spalutions.com/2011/07/14/using-natural-resources-to-grow-your-business.aspx#comment-11191339<span> </span>Hi Felicia,<br /> Thanks for the post. Just a clarification on our pricing vs. Spaboom. We have 3 plans that have fees ranging from 1.95% to 8%. The "No Upfront Cost" set-up option that you mentioned in your blog has fees of 8%, however merchant fees to Visa, MC, Discovery, and AE are paid out of that 8% fee. Our fees are in-line with Spaboom, but with our service you don't have to manually charge their Credit Card post order. All of our transactions are live and will save your clients time and money. Feel free to call with any questions. <br /> <br /> 800-410-8103 ext. 1<br /> <a href="http://www.TheGiftCardCafe.com">www.TheGiftCardCafe.com</a>Gregg Gottschling2011-07-14T18:24:07Zhttp://blog.spalutions.com/2010/09/19/last-chance-to-register-for-waterless-spa-treatments-in-asheville-nc.aspx#comment-11182828<span> </span>Really helpful article! I was searching some help regarding some spa treatments and I found your website.I am happy to find this information.Thanks!costa rica spa resort2011-07-13T10:15:25Zhttp://blog.spalutions.com/2011/07/08/how-can-it-be-july-already.aspx#comment-11165088Thanks for your words of affirmation and for sharing your story also, Corey! Congratulations as well on the success of your summer package and collaboration! I love hearing about other's successes and have endeavored from the very start of my career to help others in my profession - even my competitors - so that we might all experience success and grow stronger as a group and industry. I call this "cooperative competition" and have rarely if ever regretted embracing this philosophy.<br /> <br /> One of my greatest lessons in marketing this year - and this is coming from a Guerrilla Marketing Coach - is to utilize the resources currently available to me.&nbsp;Your current client list&nbsp;and contacts are probably the hottest resources you have IF you use them the right way. I've made a concerted effort this year to stay engaged with my massage clients and local contacts as well as my coaching clients and industry contacts. I've also looked at new ways of making my services - in both businesses - more accessible and affordable. It's been a real blessing to my company and life!<br /> <br /> So glad that my experience and story helped you<img src="http://blog.spalutions.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /><br /> <br /> Felicia<br /> <br />Felicia Brown LMBT2011-07-09T11:01:48Zhttp://blog.spalutions.com/2011/07/08/how-can-it-be-july-already.aspx#comment-11164469I enjoyed this blog. The timing couldn't have been better. I recently teamed up with my personal trainer to offer a summer special, training sessions and facials package. So far this has been the most successful advertising for expanding my client base.<br /> <br /> I agree we need to listen to one another, but also be willing to share our success stories to help each other out.<br /> <br /> Thank you for sharing yours.Happy Face Spa2011-07-09T03:01:48Z
