The first thing I did to build my practice was to buy a 3 bedroom house in a quiet neighborhood.
I hired 2 construction workers and we changed the inside according to my specifications.
Six months later it was complete.
The inside was now divided into 2 separate areas.
The smaller one had a small massage room with attached bathroom & dressing area.
The bigger one looked much nicer. It had a larger massage place, luxurious rug and curtains, a larger mirror, a small chandelier hanging from the ceiling and several candle holders. The entrance door had a security camera watching it 24/7.
Between the 2 suites I had the workers arrange a cubicle that had a closet for robes, towels, sheets and blankets, a large bar & fridge area with alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and several drawers with all kinds of oils, scents and other equipment commonly used in special massages.
A 100 yards of private road starting from the main street through an electric gate led straight toward the door of the smaller room.
In order to reach the luxury area, the guest had to turn left in the middle of that road at a sign that read 'No entrance. Private property'. This paved path went around the house and guided the visitor to the luxury suite from the back.
The sign on the simpler door stated 'Mason M. Licensed masseur'.
The sign on the luxury door simply had 'M' on it.
Subsequently I placed ads in local newspapers and popular social media platforms. The ad said, 'My name is Mason M. I am a young licensed masseur, who recently moved to town. On February 1st I'll open my own massage place, offering Swedish, Deep tissue, Aromatherapy and 10 other known types. The price is $100 per 1 hour and $65 for 40 minutes. The first 20 customers will get 30% discount. Any special requests will be addressed at the time of the massage and the fee established before the start. Hope to see you. M.'
I had 1 week to start, which I used to open 'Mason M account' in Facebook, LinkedIn and Tweeter. Then I created a work e-mail.
Lastly I bought all the necessary equipment for the first 100 customers, from 2 massage beds to massage oils and towels.
I planned to rest the last 4 days on the beach, but before doing it I checked my new accounts.
I was surprised to see 12 calls for appointments after only 48 hours of placing the ads.
I contacted each one and filled my first work week, promising myself that in the beginning I'll be doing only the classic kinds of massage.
I'd accept special requests only after performing a regular massage on the person...
Among the first 12 clients there were 10 women and 2 men, most of them were between the ages 40 to 65.
Of these 12 people, 3 had 'special requests' that I politely declined, saying that I wanted to start conservatively.
I suggested to each one of these 3 to leave a message for me 1 month later if they were still interested in asking for specials.
By the time I began working, I added 8 names to my schedule.
On my first day I had 2 middle aged women, who I saw 3 hours apart.
The first one was a 52 years old average looking lady, who complained about lower back pains and asked me to do any massage that would be best for her aches.
I suggested a 40 minutes Swedish with more concentrated work on her lower back.
I did my best to relieve the knots in her back and near the shoulder blades.
When I was done, she bent forward and touched the carpet with her fingers. Her legs were straight at the time!
She smiled at me, "Mason, you are a magician! The last time I was able to do it was 22 years ago..."
I chuckled, "Ma'am, thanks for the compliment. I am only a simple masseur, but if you want to be able to continue these exercises, you better consult a specialist about self exercises that are recommended for your back. If you are not interested, get your husband to do simple massages of your lower back twice a week for 10 minutes."
"Mason, my husband died 2 years ago. Do you mind if I come here for more massages in the near future?"
"Of course not. I was trying to save you money..."
"Oh, don't worry about that... I have more than enough..."
"OK lady. Just leave me a message when you want the next one and I'll do my best to accommodate you..."
The second lady was short and obese. She was slightly younger.
"Mason, I'd like a Deep Tissue massage for 40 minutes."
"Are you familiar with this type of a massage?"
"I have never had one, but I read on line about it"
"OK ma'am, as you wish... Just remember that this type is more intense than the usual massage. So if at one point it's too much for you, just give me a sign and I'll switch to a milder form."
As I predicted, 15 minutes into it she asked me to knead with less force.
After I was done, she paid and thanked me, but she looked very embarrassed...
Of all the other customers in the first week I remember one of the guys.
He was about 40-45 years old, 5'10", skinny man.
He said that he wanted 'a good 1 hour full body massage'. He put the emphasis on 'full body'.
I had a hunch what he was interested in, but since he didn't specify, I didn't talk.
When I asked him to undress except for his underwear, he blurted, "I am not shy!"
He removed EVERYTHING and lied down on his tummy.
After doing his upper thighs I was ready to move to his shoulders, but he insisted that I do his buttocks.
I did as he wanted.
When I was finished with his backside I turned him on his back and covered his genitals with a warm towel.
As I was moving from his calves to his thighs, he removed the towel and I saw his cock fully extended upward.
"Mason, what you did so far was fantastic. I'll skip the chest and thigh massage to focus on a more... 'private massage'. How much money would I need to add?..."
"Sir, you do not have to add anything, because I am not doing it!"
