Make Yourself a Priority - Midas Touch Therapy

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sherry Dean, Owner of Midas Touch Therapy, located in St. Louis, MO, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Midas Touch Therapy is a privately owned massage practice based out of the Metropolitan area. It's my baby! I've owned and operated since June 2020. We are known for providing massages in extravagant places. Of course, we have a clinic where we service clients in search of true bodywork. However, our most popular service is the Igloo Experience, where we create an ultimate date night, including a chef-served dinner, couples massage, and even a saxophonist performance! We service amazing clients who travel from all over the country to experience our packages. Everyone comes for the Midas Touch! I have been honored to work with doctors, pro-athletes, military personnel, politicians, and serial entrepreneurs.

Tell us about yourself

I originally became a massage therapist just as a career change. I wanted to travel and own my own business. Now, that's all changed. Once I got into the world of massage and witnessed how I was able to transform my client's overall well-being, I began to consider myself a true body healer. It became more than just a job. It's my passion. It means everything to me to be the highlight of someone's day. My clients look forward to seeing me. Being my own boss is just a bonus.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Wow. I really had to think about this one. Simply because I'm extremely thankful to have achieved so much within the past few years, if I had to choose, I would say recently expanding Midas Touch Therapy to Negril, Jamaica, last year! I can't wait to reveal everything! I have so much in store that I will be revealed within the next few weeks.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The lack of personal time. Midas Touch Therapy has become my life. The grind never stops. The work never stops.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

First off, you have to be a good person! No one is going to want to support or partner with you if you have a poor reputation. Stay as solid as possible. The love and energy will be reciprocated.

Hmm, I would also say step out of your comfort zone! Prior to opening Midas Touch Therapy, I was an extreme introvert. However, now when it comes to promoting or speaking about my business, I have the true gift of gab! Networking and having great interpersonal skills are vital when growing your business.

Lastly, don't be afraid to reinvent your business. Never give up on it. Think of ways to be innovative and stand out.
