22 reasons why I like to be a Music Therapy Business Owner
When as music therapist we take the risk to do things independently we receive all types of feedback. Unfortunately, the feedback tend to be more to the pessimistic side than the positive side. It is a challenge for some in our families or community to think that we could benefit from something that is not 8-5pm, with benefits and retirement. But truth is that I found many reasons to thank God for the privilege of owning my own music therapy business. Here I share those with you...
2. I am my own immediate supervisor(no nagging! yey!).
3. I can listen to music aloud and sing even louder while I drive.
4. I get to learn more routes, roads, and detours than other people. If there is an evacuation guess who will be out first!
5. I can go to the matinee movie if a client cancels. Save $$ and have a me-time too!
6. I can window shop while I drive around.
7. I get to know where there are the cleaner bathrooms in town.
8. I get free coffee from some of clients if I home visit.
9. I can actually get super deals when buying in between clients.
10. I get in contact with my friends and family as I call them while I drive to save time.(no text and drive please!)
11. I get to eat in different places thus surprising my husband with new eating ideas.
12. It's fun to choose my own working tools.
13. I get a little more sun than indoor people.
14. I've learn to have patience when driving.
15. I have time to think.
16. I do not have co workers who turn a pain in the butt.
17. I can be myself with my clients.
18. I can enjoy Sun and rain. I have even seen rainbows.
19. I can take days off if I want to do something wild.
20. If I am sick, I do not have to feel guilty about staying at home. Actually by staying I am being responsible.
21. I have time ta talk to God.
22. My immune system is stronger.(from all the places and children I work with, hehe).
I actually could have the list go on. Sometimes we just need to remember that ultimately we always should do what makes you happy while providing for your family.
Blessings~
