What Skills Are Needed To Become A Successful Wellness Entrepreneur?

I want to own a business that allows me to help people achieve their health/wellness goals. Obviously I know I need to learn about nutrition, go to culinary school, etc. But I am unsure about the business skills I need in order to really be successful. I could obtain a world of knowledge in health & wellness but if I don’t know how to run a business I won’t be financially successful.
I want to attend a 2yr college before culinary school, and I need help choosing the best major. I was thinking business, but I feel its too general for the kind of business I want to own.
So what do you think are the most important skills to have to be a successful entrepreneur and health coach? If you were looking for someone to help you achieve your personal health/wellness goals what would attract you to them and their business?

Is There Anyone Good With Nutrition For Teen Girls? Need To Lose A Stone!?

I have put on a little weight recently from binge eating and am REALLY down about it. I’m 14, 5ft 4″ and (now) weigh 8 stone. I would really like to get back down to 7- 7st 4lbs. I have had a past history of anorexia, bulimia AND binge eating disorders so I don’t know the best way to go about this without falling into old ways and stunting my growth (which I had for a year, but I’m back on track), stopping my period (again) and just damaging myself. Could I lose this weight by june 20th? I know I may seem vain or whatever and I should be happy I have my health but I need to do this for me. THANKS for advice on how I could lose the little weight I’ve put on eg. an example of a diet plan?

Been Single For 3 Years Enjoying Life And Building A Future?

I’m at a point where life, finances, friends, nutrition, and health are at an all time high and 100% manageable. I’ve been thinking of starting to date again, but still trying to manage to fit in the time between everything else. I’m not 23 anymore with loads of time and choices to be had. I’m 34 and building life slowly everyday. Would this be a right time to start looking again? Or just bide my time, putting more money away until a decent catch comes along? Time flies fast though and if you sit around to much “waiting”, well, life will pass you by….

Moral Debate: Vegetarian Going Back To Eating Fish?

I’ve been vegetarian for almost 6 years now, and I’ve always worked very hard to make sure I’m getting my proper protein and nutrients and I’ve always done a fairly good job with it. I’ve done a lot of research over the years online and even with my doctor and a nutritionist and have never really had an issue with nutrition, so I understand my options with food very well (still open to suggestions of course, just want everyone to know I’m fairly well educated on this lol :P ). Over the past few months though I’ve gone back to school and am working full time so I don’t have as much time to cook for myself and even cooking lots of food and freezing it has become very difficult, so I’m having trouble getting my protein mostly. So the thing that makes the most sense to me is to go back to eating fish, even if it’s only like once a week. I feel awful thinking about it and I would feel like such a hypocrite, but at the same time I can’t risk my health and I haven’t been feeling as good as I used to. And considering that 1 can of tuna is almost half of my daily protein needs it’s very tempting! :P I’ve thought about this for a long time and would just like another opinion. Thank you all very much!

Is Sociology A Good Major To Go In?

I’m only a freshman in college and I changed my major a couple of times. I wanted to do nursing but I dont think I’m smart enough to even do it, so then I changed to Nutrition, which I liked, but then I wasn’t interested in it anymore, then I changed to criminal justice, which just wasn’t right for me. I always wanted to be a mental health consouler and thats what I think I really want to do. I’ve had alot of mental health problems myself so I think helping others would be good for me. I am not sure if I have to major in Psychology or sociology? I am confused on which I would major in? and I also want to no if its a good field to go into? and is it really hard?

What To Do When The Future Is Uncertain And Bleak?

I failed out of dental school, I was going to be a dentist, but the stress of school and life almost drove me to suicide, and I was asked by the school to leave. Now, I am trying to become a RA, but I don’t know if its a good idea. I have a bachelors, but have to get an associates at a community college first to become a rad tech, and then I have to work as one for a couple years before I can apply to a masters program. I don’t know if this is the right thing to do, and I have no one to ask for help or advice (my parents didn’t go to college).
Life has been horrible since I dental school, I hate myself for being a failure. For aiming so high, and now I am nothing. I thought about PA school, but I would not get in because its just as hard as dental school. I want to make my parents proud, earn good money, and just be happy. But I can’t do that when my future seems so uncertain. I don’t even know if becoming an RA is a good idea, no one really seems to know much about it (internet or health care people I’ve talked to).
I’m 27, and I feel like my life is wasted. How do I get myself to let go of the past, and have hope for the future? How do I get over such a big failure? How do I know if I’m doing the right thing? I thought I was doing the right move with dental school, but look how miserably that turned out.

Does Cobra Cover Mental Health And Vision If They Were Covered By My Previous Plan?

I currently have Aetna but am going off my parent’s insurance in July. COBRA mailed me some things outlining the monthly cost to receive the same coverage I currently have. However, what was outlined was Dental, Medical and Prescriptions. Those are all great but I don’t know if Mental Health and Vision are covered under the Medical Coverage. Therapy is one of my biggest expenditures because I have PTSD and some other stuff. And glasses are pretty expensive too. If the COBRA coverage doesn’t cover those then it’s almost not worth paying for it. Has anybody had this happen to them also? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How Can I Lose Weight In This Environment?

right know I am 16, 5 10 160 pounds and although that sounds healthy I dont look that way because I have a layer of fat . I have been seeking to lose weight but I have realiized It might be hard to do so because my family cant really afford lots of nutritious food. My mom either always cooks ground beef and rice or sometimes I end up eating 3 cans of tuna at dinner time so I can fulfill the most I can of my protein requirements. At school I always get free food do to my economical status both breakfast and lunch and majority are fortified or unhealthy however I eat as much as I can at school because I know there is much more variety and I can get more My daily vitamins and minerals from them rather than I do later at home .The only thing healthy there are whole fruits. I ve been taking health classes at school and pretty much know about the macronutrients and what is healthy and whats not. I also told my health teacher about my situation and he told me I had to reduce my calories and increase my level of activity. I tried it but I experienced hunger, a little bit of weight gain and some constipation. I cant exercise but I do work to help my parents earn some money.
