The Decision That Changed My Career Forever | How I Made My Healthcare Consulting Business Official

Have you ever thought, “I could turn my healthcare experience into a business… but where do I even start?” In Episode #153 of RTs Share Tea Podcast, I’m piggybacking off Episode #150, Beyond the Bedside: How to Start a Healthcare Consulting Business, and taking you behind the scenes of how I actually made Noz Health Ed, LLC official. This isn’t a “you need thousands of dollars to start a business” conversation. I’m sharing the cost-effective startup resources and practical steps that helped me go from having an idea to becoming an official healthcare consultant. I’m sharing how I: ☕ Connected with my local Small Business Administration (SBA) for guidance and resources ☕ Researched and checked my business name ☕ Registered my business with the state ☕ Applied for my EIN (Employer Identification Number) ☕ Set up a business bank account that worked for my needs ☕ Learned to separate and track my business expenses ☕ Built a professional social media presence so people could actually find me Most importantly, I’m sharing the lesson I learned along the way: you don't have to have everything figured out before you start. If you're a respiratory therapist, nurse, healthcare professional, health educator, public health professional, or clinician thinking about starting a consulting business, this episode is for you. 🎯 Your Challenge Don't just listen—take one step. Research your local SBA and see what free or low-cost resources are available to entrepreneurs in your area. Better yet, make an appointment and start the conversation. Your next career chapter may be closer than you think. You won't regret it. 💗 #RTsShareTea #HealthcareConsulting #HealthcareConsultant #RespiratoryTherapist #BeyondTheBedside #HealthcareEntrepreneur #RTEntrepreneur #NurseEntrepreneur #HealthEntrepreneur #PublicHealth #SmallBusiness #SBA #NozHealthEd #TheeAsthmaLady #HealthcareBusiness ☕ A Little RTs Share Tea Disclaimer: This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and is based on my personal experiences starting and running my healthcare consulting business.
