Careers in Natural Health

In 1999, I left my corporate marketing job at Disney. I loved my job, had a good salary, insurance and a full benefits package. Many thought that I was crazy to give it all up for the uncertainty of running a small business. I took that first small shop and expanded, bought commercial property and within six years became very profitable. In 2005, I sold the business and property to invest in other ventures. Today, I own two retail stores, one commerical building, have an interest in two other health shops and have written a book.

My passion is to help other women realize their dreams through small business ownership. This might be as a natural health retail store owner, a home based consulting business or as an Aromatherapy Spa Party Hostess. There are many part and full-time opportunities available in the natural health field.

So how do you know if owning your own business is right for you? Here are some great resources to check out:

So let's say that you've got the right stuff, where do you begin? First, find yourself a few good mentors and a coach. Your mentors might include a small business owner in your area, a S.C.O.R.E. Couselor, and/or a friend that specializes in something like marketing or accounting. Your coach needs to be someone in the natural health field. Either a retail store owner, aromatherapy spa consultant or natural health practitioner. Ask about internsip programs.

Then start your natural health education-
