Summary: Practical to own if you are clueless to business in bodywork
Review: If you have never owned a business but wanted to and think that this is something that you are ready to do. Business Mastery is the perfect place to start. It contains all the information that you need to know to get started and become successful. Make sure you start from page one and read all the way through. There is so much information. I have been in business a long time and if I only knew then what I know now, I would have been happier sooner. This book is like a journey of knowledge laid out for you to grasp as you need the information in it. Right down to all the forms that you may need. It is my business bible. I have reffered to it time and time again. You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Very informative book, must buy
Review: This book is excellent in giving the massage therapist a game plan in running a business. It also helped me in studying for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. It was helpful when I was reviewing for the Business practices part of the exam. However, I also highly recommend the following which is also sold on amazon.com:
The Ultimate Study Guide for the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork: Key Review Questions and Answers
(Topics: Human Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology) Vol 1
ISBN: 0971999643
(Topics: Clinical Pathology and Recognition of Various Conditions) Vol 2
ISBN: 0971999651
(Topics: Massage Therapy and Bodywork: Theory, Assessment and Application. Professional Standards, Ethics and Business Practices)
Vol 3
ISBN: 097199966X

The last 3 books helped me pass the test with ease. I highly recommend all 4 books.

Summary: Essential business primer for a new healthcare professional
Review: While bookstore browsing, this book literally jumped off the shelf at me. I wondered why a book entitled "Business Mastery" was in the health section; after I flipped through, I knew the reason. It is geared towards new health care professionals, either in school or new graduates, and also is of value to experienced professionals, as myself.

This is more a handbook on how to get in touch with what you want out of a private practice, and how to make it materialize. The first section is an excellent right-brained exercise in gathering left-brained materal to transform into a business plan.

As an experienced physician with an established practice, I found some useful techniques to renew my practice focus. I have since used the book as a basic text in a business class for new health care professionals, and in consulting new professionals wanting to build a large, successful practice.
