Can anyone recommend any books (or websites) which could help me with setting up my own business?
kchick8080 asked:
I want to start my own business, offering holstic treatments such as Indian Head Massage, Reiki and reflexology, I would like to have my own salon/treatment rooms. I don’t really know where to start; I am a qualified therapist but just need some advice on the practical side of things. If anyone can offer me words of wisdom or point me in the right direction towards helpful reading material it would be much apreciated!
