Interested in starting own business

[diannenurse]

I am a clinical nurse specialist and have also received my Holistic Nursing Certification, Reiki and Certified Massage Therapy. Recently unemployed, I am praying and discerning the true path for me now. Pursuing my dream of an independent Holistic Nurse consulting and therapy business continues to speak loudly to me. I have no background in business start up, etc. Has anyone pursued this? I appreciate any advice, guidance, resources, referrals or opionions. Thanks, In light and love, Dianne
