I'm Juanito Operana. I am both a military brat and a USMC veteran. I am a 3rd generation service member. I also have many extended family members serving or retired. The closest thing to a hometown for me is Las Vegas, NV as most of my family resides there. I am currently in Twentynine, Palms CA and planning on moving to Marble Falls, TX. I have been a massage therapist since 2008 and a respiratory therapist (RT) since 2018. I am currently more active as an RT with limited massage clients however I've come across a business opportunity in TX that I think will be worthwhile. This business is more on the beauty side of the house but I hope to diversify to veterans health and sports performance one day. I also work with a lot of SAG stunt performers in the film industry and hope to be able to serve this demographic as well. I hope to learn more about business start-up, management (to include use of tech tools), outreach, and gain a deeper knowlegde of those modalities that are most aligned with my business goals and cliente outcomes.

That sounds very interesting and fulfilling work. I'd like to know more about that. I'd love to work with this group at some point. As to business outreach I'd like to more about how to efficiently and effectively market and network with clients and other businesses. There are a lot of buzz words like sales funnels, drp campains and marketing, and nurture marketing. It's all very confusing and I'd like to cut through the clutter of what is actually useful and cost effective. I'm not in business yet. Just got my TX license approved and working on establishment and business licenses now. My friend owns a very successful nail shop in Marble Falls, TX and his clients have asked him for this service. Some of the tools I'm looking at are online booking and crm, payroll management, accounting and taxes. I saw the AMTA has an online booking tool but I am unsure as to how that compares to others.
