Hello everybody, i forgot to tell you about the interview that i participated in last week. When i wrote my blogpost i was a bit stressed since my daughters came and i wanted to spend as much time as i could with them. Well i told you that it was an interview for a local radio station. And the interview was about my clinic and how it was to start over.

The local radio is doing a show where they asked different companies in the city if they wanted to tell all about how the company started and what your goals are. I of course wanted to be a part of this show and get some extra commercial for my company for free. I think it is really important to take every opportunity to spread the word about laser therapy and that my clinic is available for people who think they would feel better with laser therapy or just want to try it out.

So the reporter came to my office last Friday and she had like microphones and other equipment with her so that she would get a great sound. First we sat down and she asked me a few basic questions that all the participants would get.

• What’s your name?
• When did you start your company?
• Why did you start your company?
• What are your goals for the future?

After i have answered all the questions she was with me for an hour so that she would get some sounds from the waiting room and also if a client would say yes to be a part of the show. One of my clients who has been with me for a couple of years always comes on Fridays so i had already asked her before if she wanted to help me with this. She said yes and therefore the reporter could ask her a few questions and she also got to be in the room when we had the therapy hour. The interview and show isn’t about whether laser therapy is good or not, so i don’t have to worry about what the show will be like. The reporter was very professional and only interested in the company it self and how it started. As soon as it has been aired i promise i will put a link up here on the blog so that you will get the chance to listen to it.

Hopefully i will be satisfied with the outcome and don’t have to be embarrassed on how i sound. Then you will not get to listen to it! Haha! Only kidding you will get to hear it anyway. Well that was kind of it today. I will have to work a little bit later tonight since i am using my time now to write on my blog. But that is something you can do when you are your own boss!

Now back to work, hoping you will have a great day today!

I just love james bond! Don’t you?

Hello and welcome back all of you who are reading my blog. Today was a really good day for me. I started as usual with some working hours at my job at the clinic. I also participated in an interview with a local reporter from a radio station. But let’s start from the beginning.

A day in Marcus’s life

07.00am
The bell rings and it is time for me to go up for a new day. For breakfast i always drink a large cup of coffee, and i always make enough to take some with me in my thermos mug. As you can tell already i drink a lot of coffee. I eat two slices of crisp bread with cheese and ham, one boiled egg and a bowl of quark and granola. To start of the day with a big meal is something i have to do gain energy for the entire day.

08.00am
I go to my car and off to work it is!

08.30am
We are now at my office and ready to start the day. The first half hour i only do more of administration work, i check which patients i am going to have for the day and make sure that everything is alright.

09.00am
It is time time for my first patients to meet me. Sometimes it is a regular and if it so we have a session. Otherwise it could be someone who are interested in what laser therapy is and if it works for their problem, and then we have a first meeting instead where we discuss for an hour what the patient wants and if i even can help the person.

10.00am
Coffee break! With my beloved colleagues. Since it was Friday today we also had some nice muffins from our closest bakery. We get a special order every Friday and we then sit down together for about 20 minutes to chat and have a nice time.

10.15am
After our little coffee break i have another couple of meetings with patients until it is lunch break.

12.00pm
It is time for lunch! If i haven’t got any food with me i usually go to a nice restaurant just down the street. They have very nice food there, it is always healthy and it feels so fresh to eat there. I have a rule in the office and that is that i have banned fast food. Yes. If you want to eat you have to do it at the fast food restaurant, you can take it with you. It is a way to keep the atmosphere more healthy at the office. And nobody has been complaining so far. And the people who ate a lot of fast food before now says that they have gained so much energy of real food instead.

01pm
My last hours are spent with both patients and doing some administration work again. Before it is time to go home for the weekend!

5.00pm
My two daughters came home since it my week with them. So for me it has been a really good day and when they now have come home to me it couldn’t be better.

So now it is time for me to eat som dinner with my daughters and then have a family weekend.
Hoping you will have a grea weekend!

Today i thought that i would give you a little longer presentation about myself. As you already know my name is Marcus. I am 47 years old this year and I have two beautiful children. Unfortunately i am divorced and have been for seven long years now. Me and my wife decided to break up since it really didn’t work between us. It was mostly my fault and i thought i would tell why, but more about that in a later blogpost. Now i want to focus on the good things in life. I have two daughters, they are thirteen and fifteen years old now. Time goes by so fast!

They live here every other week and the other time with their mother. We don’t live that far away from each other so it often goes quite smoothly. And i always now that they always are only a bus ride away, which is very comforting. I work as a laser therapist also but i’m not going to talk that much about that today. Before i started working with that i owned my own video shop where you could rent movies. It was at the store where i met Alison, the mother of my daughters. She came in one day and had forgotten to return her movie. She was so beautiful so I decided to ignore the fee for this time and let her go without paying.

The next day she came in again and said thanks and after that we were a couple for almost fifteen years. When i was younger I was a real nerd when it came to movies and gaming. Which later got me into some trouble, but let’s stay to the positive side.

I started working at the movie renting place when i was twenty years old, and when i was twenty five i got to take over the store and become the manager. It was so exciting since i really loved movies and to play video games. Something that became less important as soon as me and Alison started dating. And when we moved in together it disappeared even more in my life.

After a few years I chose to sell the store and give it up. It was a perfect decision then since we were about to have our first child; Tina. We were both home when she was born and I then got a job at an IT company when i worked with support. It wasn’t really something that was fun but we needed the money. Two years after Tina was born we got little Juliet also. We were happy in a few years after I started with a new hobby and me and Alison started to fight more often.

So we got a divorce seven years ago and here am I now! Started my training to become a laser therapist for four years ago and now I have my own business and clients. Me and Alison are friends again but we now that we never would be the same again. So we have both moved on but with a great relationship to each other. Well that was about it! Hope you will stay and read my blog!

Hello!
This is my first post here at my blog Walt. I have never had a blog before so this will be a completely new experience for me. As you might have read in the About section my name i Marcus Anderson and I am a laser therapist. It is not always what i have been working with, i actually just came across this form of therapy when i myself had an injury. I had some severe pain in my neck after to many hours in front if my computer and it seemed like nothing would help me get better.

But after searching online i found out about laser therapy. I admit it, I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, but after a few times I actually felt a huge different in my neck. I was no longer stiff and could move my head in every directions again. And that’s when my interest to make laser therapy known started. I am very engaged in making this happen. I don’t like that most people walk around with pain in their body, and often you only get a prescription on pain killers. I didn’t think that the pain killers helped me, and i definitely didn’t enjoy to put that many different pills in my body at the same time. So i started to look for a different kind of medical treatment that wouldn’t hurt the rest of my body while i was trying to get better. Let me explain what I mean with this. While your consuming pain killers your body gets more and more used to it and it can actually affect your body negatively also. When the body gets more used to it it could mean that the next time you take a pill, it will have gotten so used to this kind of medication that it will not have any affect. So i have been trying not to use any medication when it’s not necessary.

With laser therapy there are no side effects but you could get irritated, anxiety and flushing occurring in the area where you have been treated. I thought that it was worth trying since i didn’t want to keep putting pills in my body without noticing any change. I do believe that there could be some people out there who has gotten side effects of laser therapy, but the only experience I have from it is with people who has used it in a way where they want to change their appearance. So since i only have experience of using it to prevent people from severe pain i can only recommend it in that way.

I understand if you, like me, are skeptical to this kind of treatment. But if you don’t need any treatment you don’t have to like laser therapy. You could simply just follow me on my blog and read about my everyday life, because i am not planning to only wright about laser therapy. I am going to write about me, my life, my family, a common day at work and much more!
