Guest Post: 8 Crucial Steps in Establishing a Health-Based Company

 8 Crucial Steps in Establishing a Health-Based Company From the Ground Up
(by Phillip Carr)

Starting a health-based business can be a rewarding journey. With the right preparation, you can develop a successful venture that will benefit your customers, employees, and community. Whether you are launching a wellness center offering yoga classes or developing innovative medical products to improve patient care, there are certain steps to take to ensure the success of your venture.

Here are eight key tips for establishing a thriving health-based company.

Step 1 — Decide on a niche

The first step in establishing a health-based business is to decide what type of company you want to create. Consider the services or products you are passionate about and how your business can best serve the needs of customers. Think about the target audience for your products, where they will be available, and the potential revenue sources.

Step 2 — Get the credentials you need

Depending on the type of health-based business you are creating, it is important to research local, state, and federal regulations related to running a healthcare business in order to ensure compliance with applicable laws. There may also be certain licenses, credentials, and education requirements to meet. For example, if you plan to operate a healthcare facility such as a clinic or hospital, then it is essential to obtain a license from the relevant state agency.

Additionally, medical practitioners must have appropriate professional qualifications and experience in order to provide services and operate certain equipment. Finally, entrepreneurs should ensure they have the necessary training and knowledge required for running a successful business before launching their venture.

Step 3 — Build your brand

You must create an effective branding strategy for your business, particularly because it’s in the health industry. Your brand’s image should reflect your values and vision, as well as appeal to your target audience.

Consider developing a mission statement that encapsulates how you want customers to perceive your company and its products or services. Additionally, think about the types of visuals that will best represent your brand and how they can be used effectively across different platforms.

Guest Post: Navigate Major Life Changes

 

Navigate Major Life Changes by Keeping These Things in Mind

Everyone experiences major life changes at some point in their life. Whether it’s buying a home, having a baby, changing careers, or launching a new business, these changes can be overwhelming and stressful even if you try to prepare for them. The good news is, there are some simple things you can do to make big transitions a little easier. Here are some tips to help you navigate these changes with ease.

Do Your Homework Before Buying a Home

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you will make in your lifetime, and it should not be taken lightly. Do your research before making this huge decision by looking into different neighborhoods, researching schools if you have children, considering your budget, and taking into account any potential future changes such as job relocation or having more children. It’s also important to check your credit score and get pre-approved for a loan so you know exactly what kind of house you can afford before starting your search.

Prepare for a New Baby

Much like buying a new home, having a baby is an exciting time that also requires a lot of careful preparation. Make sure to research different parenting styles so that you have an idea of what works best for you and your family. Additionally, make sure to stock up on essentials such as diapers, wipes, formula, and clothes so that when the baby arrives everything is ready to go.

Don’t forget about preparing things for yourself, particularly when it comes to the hospital bag. Packing items like lip balm, headphones, and a comfortable but practical nightgown for labor will allow you to remain calm and comfy during this major event.

Sagenite: The “No More Painful Lessons” Mineral

 
About 22 – 23 years ago, on a trip to the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, I found a stunning crystal that persuaded me to spend more on it than ever before. What was it? It was a very clear, AAA+ grade clear Quartz with a perfect “thumbprint” of Sagenite in it.

What is Sagenite? Sagenite is the name given to a formation, rather than a single mineral. This is what Melody says: “Sagenite is the name given to complex reticulated, twinned intergrowths of acicular Rutile crystals (or vacant structures showing the same morphology); the Rutile crystals intersect at 60-degree angles.” Love Is in the Earth, p. 707

This all sounds very, very complicated, right? Well, it is actually easy to recognize the Sagenite formation, because it forms a Star of David pattern, that repeats and overlaps, forming a mesh, or net. In fact, the word “‘Sagenite’ is from the Latin word meaning ‘large fishing net.’” Melody, p. 707. There is actually quite a long list of minerals that can form into Sagenite. The best known are: Rutile, Tourmaline, Epidote and Goethite.

Let’s rather move on to the amazing power of Sagenite, and to introduce that I think I should tell the story of the Sagenite included Quartz. That Tucson show, I was accompanied by my assistant Lauren, and my son, Aidan. This was significant, because I would never have bought that crystal without outside encouragement.

We entered the room of a high-end dealer, and were immediately struck by this one particular specimen. My son Aidan, who had a fine eye, and later became an artist, took one look at it, recognized something special and said, in a Mr. Bean voice: “Buy it.” The price on this spectacular crystal was far beyond any amount I had spent on a crystal before, and represented 20% of my entire budget. Aidan was insistent – he stood at my shoulder, and kept repeating: “Buy it. Buy it. Buy it,” in my ear. All this in a Mr. Bean voice, of course.

Iolite: You Are Unique

 

Hello and welcome back to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called Life. This is the part of the show where I, Vivien, talk to and about crystals. Our crystal guest today is a stone called Iolite, a stone that has a true indigo color, making it one of the most ideal stones for the third eye.

When I checked what AI has to say about Iolite, the results were rather disappointing. The list of properties was so generic, it could have been describing any (and every) stone. I turned back to my usual trusted source, namely Melody, and did get a little further. At least Melody highlighted some of the unique attributes of Iolite like: elimination of debts, balancing the male/female aspects of character, stimulation of visions and imbibing alcohol without exhibiting any ill effects. All of these sound like rather special benefits, but there’s more.

The one that really intrigued me is that one can use Iolite to strengthen your constitution so you can defy physiological disorders. This intrigues me, because I have recently been doing some research about super-aging.

Iolite told me to begin there – “there” being “first explain the word constitution in an understandable manner because people may have a feel for the meaning, but not a clear, accurate verbal definition, and then define “super-aging.”

Here’s the definition of “Constitution” in the health and medical context:
